Opportunity Information: Apply for F19AS00337
The Plover Management and Monitoring grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F19AS00337) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (CFDA 15.662). It supports environmental and natural resource work focused on the management and monitoring of piping plovers along the shore of Lake Ontario in New York, specifically at Sandy Island Beach State Park. The project is driven by a notable conservation development: piping plovers have returned to nest at this park after roughly a 30-year absence, creating an immediate need for organized oversight to protect nesting birds and support successful breeding.
The grant is structured as a single-source award, meaning it is intended for one recipient without a competitive application process. The notice states there is no open application period for interested outside parties; instead, it serves as a formal notice of intent to make a direct award to the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (NYS OPRHP). The justification cited is 505 DM 2.14.B.4, which is used when competition is deemed impractical because the recipient is considered uniquely qualified to carry out the work. The opportunity was created on August 15, 2019, with an original closing date of August 22, 2019, reflecting that the public posting is primarily informational rather than a solicitation for proposals.
Funding for the project is approximately $29,000 total, and the expected number of awards is one, with an award ceiling also listed at $29,000. The funds are intended to help NYS OPRHP hire or support a coordinator who will be responsible for day-to-day plover management and monitoring. This coordinator role is central to the project and includes overseeing monitoring activities (such as tracking nesting activity and outcomes), coordinating volunteers who may assist with monitoring or protection efforts, and supporting public outreach to reduce disturbances and increase awareness among beachgoers and the local community. The work may also include assistance with habitat restoration or improvement projects that help maintain or enhance suitable nesting conditions.
The rationale for the single-source approach is that the selected recipient is viewed as having the qualifications and capacity needed to implement the project effectively at a state-managed park site. The notice highlights the merit factors used to support this decision: the recipient must have (or be able to obtain) the appropriate technical qualifications, have experience performing similar work, possess adequate resources (or the ability to secure them), understand the project goals well enough to meet service outcomes, and demonstrate a history of completing projects and submitting required reports on time. In practical terms, the opportunity is designed to ensure that plover protection and monitoring at Sandy Island Beach State Park can be organized quickly and handled by the state agency that already manages the land, coordinates on-site operations, and is positioned to integrate wildlife protection with public recreation and park stewardship.Apply for F19AS00337
