Opportunity Summary:
The MOHAVE GROUND SQUIRREL BASE WIDE SURVEYS opportunity is a discretionary federal assistance announcement from the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) to fund focused fieldwork at Marine Corps Logistics Base (MCLB) Barstow in Barstow, California. The project centers on conducting presence/absence surveys for the Mohave ground squirrel (Spermophilus mohavensis), a desert-dwelling species of management concern, across six specific locations on the installation that have already been identified as potentially suitable habitat. The work is intended to generate clear, defensible information on whether the species occurs in these areas, and to document baseline biological data that can support ongoing natural resource planning and compliance needs on the base.
The required field effort is described as a short, intensive survey window carried out over roughly two weeks. During this period, survey crews are expected to trap and document Mohave ground squirrels where present, while also recording standard biological metrics for each captured individual. The data to be collected include typical handling measurements such as size and weight, along with sex and general health condition. The announcement also anticipates that other wildlife may be incidentally captured during trapping, and it calls for the same kind of basic data collection on those non-target animals as well, which helps create a more complete record of what the survey effort encountered and supports transparency in reporting.
The primary deliverable is reporting that combines written findings with spatial products. The awardee is expected to produce both a draft report and a final report, and the final package must include GIS maps. In practical terms, that means the contractor or partner should be prepared not only to perform field surveys and data collection, but also to manage geospatial data and produce mapped outputs showing survey locations and results in a format useful for installation decision-making. The emphasis on draft and final versions signals that NAVFAC expects an opportunity to review methods, interpretations, and mapping outputs before the work is formally accepted.
Funding is capped at an estimated total of $50,000, with an award ceiling of $50,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates the agency expects substantial involvement or coordination during the project rather than a hands-off grant. The activity category is Natural Resources, and it is associated with CFDA 12.300 (Basic and Applied Scientific Research), reflecting that this is applied field research and monitoring work supporting federal land and resource management.
Eligibility is limited to certain organization types that can credibly perform scientific field surveys and reporting: private institutions of higher education; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; state governments; and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). The opportunity was posted on September 15, 2008, with a closing date of September 22, 2008, and it was archived on October 22, 2008, indicating it was a time-limited solicitation with a short application window.
For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Joseph Brown, Contract Specialist and Cooperative Agreement Administrator, reachable by phone at (619) 532-1266.
