Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) published this notice to inform the public of its intent to make a single-source award for continued bird monitoring work in several Sierra Nevada parks. It is not a request for applications and is not being competed openly; instead, it serves as a transparency notice that NPS plans to fund specific project activities through a cooperative agreement without full and open competition. The work is tied to the Sierra Nevada Inventory and Monitoring Network (SIEN) and will be carried out with the Institute for Bird Populations (IBP) under a task agreement to continue a multi-year monitoring effort.
The project scope focuses on conducting the third year of field monitoring in 2013 and preparing for the fourth year of monitoring in 2014 across SIEN park units, specifically Yosemite National Park (YOSE), Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks (SEKI), and Devils Postpile National Monument (DEPO). For Year 3 (2013), IBP will perform standardized bird point-count surveys along up to 30 transects, covering both Panel 1 (the annually sampled panel) and Panel 4 (identified as the third of the alternating panels). For Year 4 (2014), the agreement emphasizes planning and preparation for surveys that will again include Panel 1 along with Panel 5 (the fourth alternating panel). At Devils Postpile, the design is simpler because the park is small; instead of rotating panels, all 42 survey points arranged on a systematic grid are monitored every year.
Administratively, this opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and will be issued as a cooperative agreement under the natural resources activity area. The announcement lists an expected single award with a total estimated funding amount of $54,852, and both the award ceiling and floor are the same amount, indicating a fixed anticipated award size. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Eligible applicants are limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), though the nature of the notice indicates NPS already intends to fund a specific partner rather than solicit competing proposals.
Key posting details show it was posted and created on May 18, 2012, with an original and current closing date of May 21, 2012, and an archive date of May 22, 2012. The funding opportunity number is NPS NOIP12AC14333, and it falls under CFDA 15.944 (Natural Resource Stewardship). For access issues or administrative questions about the announcement, the listed contact is Katherine Hoover, Contracting Officer, at 559-565-3180 or katiehoover@nps.gov.
