Opportunity Summary:
The SOUTH PONIL CREEK grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FWSFY2009 NMFWCO) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), specifically through the New Mexico Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office (NMFWCO). It sits within the Environment funding activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance. The core purpose of the effort is to provide fishery management technical assistance aimed at improving fish passage along South Ponil Creek, with on-the-ground work focused on practical infrastructure and visitor education.
The project is structured as a partnership between USFWS/NMFWCO and Philmont Scout Ranch. Under the agreement, USFWS/NMFWCO would supply technical assistance related to fisheries management and fish passage, while Philmont Scout Ranch would take responsibility for implementation. Philmont is expected to provide all manpower and equipment and to purchase all necessary materials. The main deliverables described are the construction and installation of educational signs and the construction and installation of low-water crossings at five separate locations along South Ponil Creek. In plain terms, the project combines habitat and passage improvements (through better-designed crossings) with public-facing outreach (through signage) to support long-term stewardship and reduce impacts to aquatic resources.
Funding is fixed and tightly defined: the estimated total funding is $51,800, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also listed as $51,800, indicating a single award at a single funding amount rather than a competitive range. The opportunity anticipates one award and does not require cost sharing or matching. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals a more collaborative relationship than a standard grant, with substantial federal involvement expected, consistent here with USFWS providing ongoing technical support.
Eligibility is not open competition. The listing specifies "PHILMONT SCOUT RANCH - SINGLE SOURCE DETERMINATION," and the eligible applicants category is effectively limited, meaning the opportunity was intended for Philmont Scout Ranch as the recipient rather than a broad applicant pool. The timeline also reflects this narrow window: it was posted and created on June 23, 2009, with an original and current closing date of June 26, 2009, and an archive date of July 26, 2009. That short posting period is typical of single-source or noncompetitive actions where the recipient has already been identified.
For assistance or questions, the contact listed is Stephen Davenport, Fish Biologist and Program Manager, reachable by phone at 505-342-9900 ext. 106.
