The USFWS, National Bison Range Refuge Complex, intends to award a Cooperative Agreement, initially in the amount of NTE $30,000, through the Rocky Mountains Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The National Bison Range has submitted a sole-source justification for the consideration and selection of the Avian Science Center at the University of Montana. In the event that the Avian Science Center is unable to perform the work, consideration will be given to others based on the criteria above. The purpose of the agreement is to develop a long-term monitoring program for landbirds at the National Bison Range Complex |
Additional Information
