Opportunity Summary:
The Shoshone Range OHV Inventory and Monitoring Project is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) cooperative agreement intended to support baseline wildlife inventory work and long-term biological monitoring in the Shoshone Range off-highway vehicle (OHV) area. The core purpose is to gather reliable, on-the-ground data about sensitive species and their habitats so land managers can track change over time and make better-informed recreation and conservation decisions. The project is designed around the idea that recreation use can alter site conditions, and that deciding how much change is acceptable is ultimately a management choice. However, those choices are only defensible and effective when they are grounded in consistent biological monitoring that shows how current conditions compare to desired conditions.
This announcement is specifically a public notice and not an open call for applications. BLM stated its intent to fund the work without full and open competition, reflecting a planned partnership with the Great Basin Bird Observatory (GBBO). The justification given is that GBBO brings specialized expertise and capacity that align closely with the project needs, including extensive knowledge of Great Basin and Nevada bird communities, prior experience working under BLM data-collection protocols (including Assistance Agreement projects with BLM’s Elko District Office), and the availability of qualified staff able to operate in a remote field location.
The biological focus includes collecting baseline inventory data and establishing long-term monitoring for species such as greater sage-grouse, pygmy rabbits, migratory birds, and other sensitive wildlife present in or near the OHV recreation landscape. In practical terms, this kind of work typically supports management decisions like where and when recreation use should be concentrated or limited, how to reduce disturbance during critical breeding or nesting periods, and how to evaluate whether management actions are improving or degrading habitat conditions over time. By repeatedly monitoring conditions and species responses, the project aims to create an informed framework for balancing sustainable recreation with wildlife conservation.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as a discretionary natural resources award using a cooperative agreement instrument, with one expected award. The total estimated funding is $66,000, and both the award floor and ceiling are listed as $66,000, indicating a single, fixed-size award. No cost sharing or matching is required. The eligible applicant type listed is nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), consistent with GBBO’s nonprofit profile. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. Key dates show it was posted and created on August 13, 2008, with an original and current closing date of August 20, 2008, and an archive date of August 21, 2008.
For access issues or additional details, the announcement lists a BLM contact: Susan Kaller, Grants and Agreements Specialist, at 775-861-6559 or skaller@blm.gov.
