Grant Description

Recipient will be responsible for conducting Piping Plover monitoring in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. This will entail surveying multiple sites for Piping Plover pairs, locating Piping Plover nests, construction nesting exclosures for Piping Plover nests, surveying for potential predators and working with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and researchers to assist with plover research and banding projects as requested. This is a notice of intent to award a single source grant agreement to Lake Superior State University without competition under justification 505DM 2.14B, 2 and 4. Competition is not practical as Lake Superior State University has been conducting the monitoring activities in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for many years and are uniquely qualified to continue this activity. They are located locally in the eastern Upper Peninsula near where many of the plovers nest and they have the experience and unique expertise to continue to carry out these activities in the most efficient manner that provides the greatest benefit to the plovers.
