Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Survey Light Footed Clapper Rail on Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach, California" (Funding Opportunity Number N62473 09 R RAIL), is a discretionary federal funding opportunity offered by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command through a Cooperative Agreement. The work focuses on natural resources and is specifically aimed at surveying the breeding population of the federally endangered light-footed clapper rail (Rallus longirostris levipes) located on Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach in California, including the adjacent or overlapping Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge area. The central purpose is to generate updated population information for this endangered marsh bird and deliver it to the Navy in a formal, usable format.
The selected recipient is expected to conduct field surveys that assess the presence and breeding status of light-footed clapper rails on the installation and refuge lands, then compile the results into deliverables that the Navy can directly use for conservation planning, compliance, and resource management. The opportunity requires that data be provided in two main forms: a written scientific report delivered in both paper and electronic versions, and the underlying electronic raw data. In other words, the awardee is not only responsible for interpreting and summarizing findings in a professional report, but also for turning over the original data files in an electronic format so the Navy can archive them, validate conclusions, and potentially compare results across years.
Only one award was anticipated under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $12,180 and an award ceiling of $12,180, meaning the maximum available federal support matched the total estimated funding. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute additional funds to be eligible or competitive. The associated CFDA number is 12.300, identified as Basic and Applied Scientific Research, which signals that while the project is applied and management-oriented, it still falls within a research and data-collection context tied to federal science and stewardship activities.
Eligibility was limited to three applicant categories: private institutions of higher education, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). This indicates the Navy was looking for qualified academic or nonprofit conservation and research partners capable of performing standardized wildlife surveys and producing a credible scientific report suitable for agency use.
Key timeline details show the opportunity was posted on February 24, 2009, created the same day, and closed on March 4, 2009, reflecting a short application window. The opportunity was later archived on April 3, 2009. For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Joseph Brown, Contract Specialist and Cooperative Agreement Administrator, reachable by phone at (619) 532-1266.
