Migratory Bird Monitoring, Assessment and Conservation - Reddish Egret: As justification for Single Source Determination, in accordance with Department of Interior Guidance (505 DM 2.14), USFWS Region 2 provides notice of its intent to make a single source award in the amount of $60,000 to Texas State University (University) for the support of an investigation into dispersal, survival rates, and movement patterns of the Reddish Egret (Egretta rufescens). This project will continue a cooperative effort among the researchers at the University, Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute, Mexican and Bahamian cooperators, and the USFWS Regions 2 and 4 Divisions of Migratory Birds. The goal of the study is to use satellite telemetry on juvenile and adult Reddish Egrets from colonies on the Texas coast to determine juvenile dispersal, adult movements outside the breeding season, age-specific survival rates, and to determine what young reddish Egrets do between the year of birth and first year of breeding (4-5 yrs of age). These are basic demographic parameters that are poorly known for this highly imperiled species. Satellite telemetry is the only means by which movements of individual birds may be monitored in an accurate and unbiased manner for multiple years over large geographic areas potentially including the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, and northern South America. The information will be vital for development of a Reddish Egret conservation strategy.

Additional Information on Eligibility
As justification for Single Source Determination, in accordance with Department of Interior Guidance (505 DM 2.14), USFWS Region 2 provides notice of its intent to make a single source award in the amount of $60,000 to Texas State University (University) for the support of an investigation into dispersal, survival rates, and movement patterns of the Reddish Egret (Egretta rufescens). This project will continue a cooperative effort among the researchers at the University, Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute, Mexican and Bahamian cooperators, and the USFWS Regions 2 and 4 Divisions of Migratory Birds. The goal of the study is to use satellite telemetry on juvenile and adult Reddish Egrets from colonies on the Texas coast to determine juvenile dispersal, adult movements outside the breeding season, age-specific survival rates, and to determine what young reddish Egrets do between the year of birth and first year of breeding (4-5 yrs of age). These are basic demographic parameters that are poorly known for this highly imperiled species. Satellite telemetry is the only means by which movements of individual birds may be monitored in an accurate and unbiased manner for multiple years over large geographic areas potentially including the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, and northern South America. The information will be vital for development of a Reddish Egret conservation strategy. The University and the Principal Investigator are uniquely qualified to conduct this activity. The University is at the forefront of research on Reddish Egrets, having recently completed a Status Assessment of the Reddish Egret and is in the process of completing a range-wide population survey of the species. This award builds upon those two studies and is the next major step (as determined by the international Reddish Egret Working Group) for gathering knowledge necessary to move forward with conservation of the Reddish Egret. Given its previous research on Reddish Egrets, its published expertise with the species at a range-wide international scale, and its development of international contacts throughout the range of the Reddish Egret, the University is uniquely qualified to receive this award. This announcement is published as a Single Source in accordance with FAR 6.302-1. This is NOT a request for competitive quotes. The intent of this Pre-Solicitation Notice is for informational purposes only.
