About this opportunity

NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD TO A SINGLE-SOURCE WITHOUT COMPETITION. In accordance with Department of Interior Guidance (505 DM 2), Fish and Wildlife Service Region 2 hereby provides notice of its intent to make a single-source award expected to be between $600,000.00 and $800,000.00 to the Playa Lakes Joint Venture under a multi-year cooperative agreement (01/01/2012 to 12/31/2016) for facilitating the base operations, core support staff and activities/functions, for the Playa Lakes Joint Venture migratory bird conservation partnership. The base operations will be consistent with the direction given by the Management Board for the Playa Lakes Joint Venture partnership. The period of performance for the award will be for the period of January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013. Any funding awarded to support base operations of the Playa Lakes Joint Venture partnership beyond December 31, 2013, will be subject to the availability of appropriations authorized by law and administratively allocated by the Fish and Wildlife Service. Joint ventures, the partnerships that were originally formed to implement the North American Waterfowl Management Plan, are regional, self-directed organizations involving local a wide range of non-governmental conservation groups that have proven to be a successful means of developing cooperative conservation efforts to protect the habitats of waterfowl and other birds. Joint ventures address multiple continental goals for sustaining migratory bird populations by developing scientifically based landscape conservation plans and habitat projects that benefit migratory birds and other wildlife populations. The joint ventures incorporate biological planning, conservation design, and conservation delivery with monitoring and research in an adaptive resource management framework ( strategic habitat conservation) to create the biological-science and conservation-partnership base which will allow the joint venture partners to pool resources for regional projects in critical habitats for priority bird species. Under authorities of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act, the Fish and Wildlife Service provides administrative funding for joint ventures, to help cover the costs of primary support staff and base program operations. First established in 1989, the Playa Lakes Joint Venture partnership is directed by a Management Board that ensures that commitment and support is maintained to achieve the goals and objectives of this migratory bird joint venture. The Management Board has approved a master plan that outlines the overall direction of the partnership; this plan identifies the following elements as essential to the management and conservation of bird species and their habitats in the Playa Lakes Joint Venture partnership region: Conservation Delivery; Biological Planning; Communications; Conservation Policy; Geographic Information Funding; Granting; Education; Research; and Annual Review. Collectively, these functional elements provide the framework for the base operations of the Playa Lakes Joint Venture partnership, and its success and sustainability. The master plan describes the administrative structure of the partnership, including the core support staff needed to perform or guide the activities or functions that are necessary to conserve priority migratory bird habitats in the Playa Lakes Joint Venture partnership region. The objective of the cooperative agreement with the Playa Lakes Joint Venture, a federally-recognized non-profit corporation, is to support core staff and base program activities of the Playa Lakes Joint Venture partnership. A cooperative agreement was chosen because there is substantial Federal involvement in the project ( the Fish and Wildlife Service is a member of the Playa Lakes Joint Venture Management Board which participates in directing and managing this project, including the approval of any modifications).
