Opportunity Summary:
The Western Pond Turtles Study on the Trinity River (Funding Opportunity Number R10AS20019) is a discretionary natural-resources funding opportunity from the Bureau of Reclamation, Mid Pacific Region. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the agency expects to be actively involved with the recipient during the project rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The notice is explicitly a Notice of Intent to award, not an open solicitation, and it signals the government plan to make a single award to Humboldt State University under a CESU arrangement referenced as CESU #3FC810873. Because it is a notice of intent rather than a competitive call, the government also notes that the decision not to compete the assistance action is based on Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(4), and that such a determination remains solely within the government’s discretion.
The core purpose of the agreement is to collect detailed field data about the Western Pond Turtle in the Trinity River area. The project focus is on understanding how turtles use and select habitat, the size and characteristics of their home ranges, and key population dynamics such as mortality and survivorship. It also emphasizes movement ecology, specifically documenting migration timing and the routes turtles use near the Trinity River. In practical terms, the work implied by the description would typically involve systematic monitoring and tracking to map where turtles spend time across seasons, identify preferred habitat features, quantify how far individuals range, and determine when and how they move between aquatic and upland areas, including any recurring corridors or seasonal pathways.
Administratively, the opportunity falls under CFDA 15.512, Central Valley Project Improvement Act, Title XXXIV. The posting date and creation date are March 19, 2010, with an original and current closing date of April 2, 2010, and an archive date of April 5, 2010. The opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $58,404, an award ceiling of $35,460, and an award floor of $0. It indicates one expected award and states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Although the eligible applicants field lists “Individuals,” the eligibility information clarifies that this specific action is posted as a notice of intent to award to Humboldt State University, reinforcing that it is not seeking proposals from other parties.
The notice also includes standard federal administrative requirements that applied at the time, including Central Contractor Registration (CCR), with instructions to obtain registration information through the CCR website link provided in the announcement. For questions or issues accessing the full announcement electronically, the point of contact is Judy A. Hudson (also listed as a Contract Specialist) via email at jhudson@usbr.gov.
