Opportunity Information: Apply for W912DQ 19 2 0003
This grant opportunity, titled "Bat Surveying and Assessment, Ft. Leavenworth, KS" (Funding Opportunity Number W912DQ 19 2 0003), was released by the U.S. Department of Defense through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Kansas City District. It is a discretionary funding opportunity that would be awarded as a cooperative agreement, meaning the government expects to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and it is listed under CFDA 12.114. The notice was created on March 26, 2019, and originally closed on April 24, 2019.
The project goal is straightforward: conduct bat surveying and assessment work at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and use the findings to guide how the installation manages its lands and activities. The emphasis is on evaluating how military operations and routine sustainment or enhancement activities could affect certain bat species, and then developing installation-specific protection measures. In practice, that usually means collecting field data on bat presence and habitat use, identifying key areas like roost sites and travel corridors, and translating those results into practical avoidance, minimization, or timing measures that the installation can apply during training, maintenance, vegetation management, construction, or similar activities.
The species of concern are the Northern Long-Eared Bat (NLEB), the Tri-colored Bat, and the Little Brown Bat. The opportunity is framed around ensuring that Fort Leavenworth can continue mission-related activities while meeting environmental compliance obligations and reducing risk to these bat populations. The work is also intended to support consultation and compliance processes required under federal law and policy, particularly for species protected or addressed under the Endangered Species Act framework.
A major driver for this project is alignment with specific consultation and regulatory documents. The announcement states that the project should further the objectives of the IMCOM Programmatic Informal Consultation Guidelines dated May 4, 2015, and the Programmatic Biological Opinion and Final 4(d) Rule for the NLEB, including activities excepted from take prohibitions, dated January 5, 2016. It also references Section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered Species Act, which is the requirement for federal agencies to ensure their actions are not likely to jeopardize listed species or destroy or adversely modify critical habitat. In practical terms, the expected deliverables typically include survey results and analyses that can be used to document effects determinations, support consultation decisions, and establish workable, site-specific conservation measures that fit the installation's operational needs.
Funding was relatively small and targeted, with an award ceiling of $68,328 and an expectation of making one award. Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), which indicates the agency was seeking a qualified nonprofit partner with experience in bat ecology, field surveying methods, and ESA-related natural resources planning. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a focused natural resources compliance and conservation effort designed to produce actionable bat survey data and management recommendations for Fort Leavenworth under the relevant DoD and ESA consultation frameworks.Apply for W912DQ 19 2 0003
