Opportunity Summary:
The Russian Olive and Siberian Elm Control opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00161) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to support invasive tree control work at Ouray National Wildlife Refuge (NWR). The project focuses on removing or treating two undesirable/noxious woody species, Russian olive and Siberian elm, along the Green River corridor and other locations within the refuge that are reachable from the river. The emphasis is on river-accessible habitat, including shoreline areas, islands, and side draws that are difficult to reach from land.
Work under the agreement is operational and field-based. Crews are expected to access treatment sites by boat, traveling up and down the Green River to reach targeted infestations along the banks and in off-channel features. Ouray NWR will determine and prescribe the specific treatment methods to be used on the trees, and the refuge will supply the herbicide needed for the work. In other words, the recipient is primarily responsible for executing the on-the-ground control work and logistics (especially river access), while the refuge directs treatment approach and provides chemical materials.
This notice is issued as a Notice of Intent to make a single-source award under Department of the Interior policy 505 DM 2.14, citing continuation and unique qualifications as the justification. Only one award is anticipated. The total estimated funding is $24,000, with an award ceiling of $24,000 and an award floor of $1,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement identified for applicants.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA 15.652, Undesirable/Noxious Plant Species, which aligns the project with federal invasive species control objectives. Key dates show it was posted and created on April 3, 2015, with an original and current closing date of April 10, 2015, and an archive date of May 3, 2015, indicating a short response window typical of single-source intent notices.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," but the announcement makes clear that the award is intended as a single-source cooperative agreement based on the cited policy justification rather than an open competitive solicitation. For questions or issues accessing the announcement, the listed contact is Diane Penttila at the Fish and Wildlife Service (435-545-2522, dianepenttila@fws.gov).
