REQUEST FOR STATEMENT OF INTEREST Number W9126G-21-2-SOI-4921 Project to be initiated in 2021 Applicants must be a member in one of the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU): Alaska, Pacific Northwest, or Rocky Mountains Project Title: Natural Resources Support–Invasive Species, Eareckson Air Station, Alaska Responses to this Request for Statements of Interest will be used to identify potential investigators for a project to be funded by the US Air Force which provides professional and technical support for Eareckson Air Station (EAS) in order to facilitate successful implementation of the 16 USC 670c-1 Sikes Act. Approximately $95,000 is expected to be available to support this project during the base period (Tasks 1 through 4). Additional funding may be available to the successful Recipient/Awardee for two additional optional tasks to be completed within the base period, subject to the availability of funds. Background: The Pacific Air Forces Regional Support Center (PRSC) manages Eareckson Air Station (EAS) which is located in the Aleutian Archipelago, Alaska, USA. This USAF entity has developed an Installation Natural Resource Management Plan (INRMP) and the management of invasive species is one component of the aforementioned plan. Natural Resource surveys in the last 6 years on EAS have been restricted to avian and wetland surveys for EAS, along with limited shore based marine mammal monitoring. The results of this project shall not only provide specific information about the status of alien plant species on EAS, but also information valuable on efficacious methods for control or eradication of current populations of invasive plants if existing. This project supports the PRSC with its completion of goals and objectives of the 2020 Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan (PRSC), specifically Goal 8, objective 8.1. In agreement with the above stated goals, the recipient/cooperator (hereafter Cooperator) agrees to provide the necessary personnel, equipment, and materials required to implement, in part, the Air Force responsibilities pursuant to the Endangered Species Act (16 USC 1531 et seq.), the Sikes Act Improvement Act, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 USC 1361 et seq.), the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), and applicable implementing regulations, such as Air Force Instruction 32-7064, Integrated Natural Resources Management.
