Opportunity Information: Apply for W9126G 21 2 4792
The Department of Defense, through the USACE Fort Worth District, posted a cooperative agreement opportunity (W9126G-21-2-4792) to identify a partner to carry out invasive species control and management work at Maxwell-Gunter Air Force Base in Alabama, including the associated Lake Martin Recreation Area. The project is supported by AFCEC to help the installation implement natural resources requirements under the Sikes Act (16 USC 670c-1) and to keep base environmental programs aligned with applicable environmental laws, regulations, and policies. The effort is framed within the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) approach, which emphasizes applied research, technical assistance, and education delivered through collaboration among federal agencies, universities, and other partners, with an interdisciplinary, ecosystem-based focus across multiple scales.
The government is not requesting a full technical proposal or a detailed budget at this stage. Instead, it issued a Request for Statements of Interest (RSOI) to screen and identify qualified investigators or organizations that can support on-the-ground goals at Maxwell-Gunter AFB. The selected cooperator must be capable of executing field-based invasive species work and coordinating activities in accordance with established installation planning documents. The primary required work is listed as a Mandatory/Anchor Task focused on treatment and removal of invasive species, with an emphasis on large-scale eradication actions.
The anticipated scope centers on implementing the installation's existing guidance, specifically the 2004 Management and Restoration Plan for Non-Native Species Control for Maxwell AFB, Gunter AFB, and the Maxwell-Gunter Lake Martin Recreation Area, and then transitioning to follow the Invasive Species Treatment Plan once it is finalized. The opportunity makes clear that adherence to the applicable management plan is required, and any deviations must be approved before they are carried out. In practical terms, the work includes killing, cutting, and removing dense stands of mature invasive plants such as Chinese tallow trees, bamboo, mimosa, privet, and other species identified in the management framework.
The described field tasks include a mix of initial removal, follow-up work, and ongoing maintenance. This includes maintenance treatment in areas where bamboo has already been removed using a combination of mechanical methods and herbicide applications; follow-up treatment in at least one previously cleared plot with additional Chinese tallow removal; initial removal actions in additional Chinese tallow plots; and spot treatment of scattered invasive plants such as Japanese climbing fern, kudzu, and privet. The project also calls for maintaining cleared areas around outdoor recreation access points, reflecting the dual goals of ecological improvement and supporting safe, usable recreational spaces. In addition to terrestrial plant control, the project anticipates treatment of aquatic invasive species in base lakes, with specific actions to be guided by survey results and the applicable management plan.
Funding is expected to be about $51,500 for the initial 12-month base period, with the possibility of follow-on funding in later fiscal years for the successful awardee if funds are available. While the base-period estimate is modest, the posting lists an overall award ceiling of $257,500, which aligns with the structure of a base period plus up to four additional 12-month optional periods. In other words, the government appears to be planning for a multi-year invasive species management effort, structured as a one-year award with up to four one-year extensions, contingent on performance and funding availability.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted (open to any entity type, subject to any eligibility clarifications in the full notice). The opportunity is categorized under science and technology and other research and development activities, uses a cooperative agreement instrument, and is associated with CFDA 12.005. The government anticipated making one award.
The RSOI was posted with a minimum 30-day review window before the government would decide whether to invite full proposals. Statements of Interest were due by 5:00 PM Central Time on August 11, 2021. Administrative and technical points of contact were provided: Sandy Justman, Grants Specialist (USACE Fort Worth District), and Jason G. Harrison, Project Manager (USACE Fort Worth District).Apply for W9126G 21 2 4792
