Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) posted a discretionary funding notice titled "Walking Box Ranch Planning" (Funding Opportunity Number NVNOI 080011) to give the public formal notice of its intent to support specific project work through a cooperative agreement. The key point is that this announcement is not a request for applications; instead, it signals that BLM plans to move forward with funding activities without full and open competition. The opportunity sits under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.224, Cultural Resource Management.
The project centers on Walking Box Ranch and is aimed at developing a Field Research and Training Center along with a Museum component. The Field Research and Training Center is envisioned as a place with the facilities and designated areas needed to conduct field-based research focused on the Mojave Desert and arid-land conditions. The Museum portion of the effort is described as largely involving the stabilization and restoration of existing structures, suggesting a strong historic preservation and cultural resource protection element rather than new museum construction from scratch.
BLM frames the mission of the combined Field Research and Training Center and Museum (FRTC/M) around public education and applied research. On the education side, the site would be used to teach and communicate issues tied to conservation, sustainability, and responsible stewardship of both natural and cultural resources in the Mojave Desert. On the research side, the intent is to create opportunities that improve understanding of desert ecosystems and support better management actions and decision-making in arid environments, with a particular focus on the Mojave.
In terms of funding details, BLM anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,600,000. The notice lists an award ceiling of $2,600,000 and an award floor of $220,000, indicating the project could be funded in phases or with a range of supported activities under the overall effort. No cost sharing or matching requirement is identified. Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, which aligns with the research, training, and educational mission described for the facility.
The announcement was posted and created on April 11, 2008, with an original and current closing date of April 25, 2008, and it was archived on May 5, 2008. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed contact is Kenda Tucker, Chief of Contracting Office, at 775-861-6417 or kendatucker@nv.blm.gov.
