The National Fish & Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) seeks a qualified contractor to provide technical guidance for Environmental Protection Agency/U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service compliance requirements for grantees from the Chesapeake Bay Stewardship Fund and Long Island Sound Futures Fund.

NFWF manages a variety of grant programs under the Chesapeake Bay Stewardship Fund (CBSF) and Long Island Sound Futures Fund (LISFF). Contracts selected for funding through these programs often are subject to federal compliance requirements. NFWF is seeking a qualified contractor to provide technical assistance to grantees in meeting such compliance requirements, including the following:

  • Documentation to support Federal assessments under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
  • Documentation of compliance with the Endangered Species Act (ESA) (state and federal)
  • Consultations required under the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA)
  • Development of Quality Assurance Project Plans (QAPPs) if a project involves monitoring, data collection or data use

Over time, as the funding levels, projects, scope, reach and audience of programs under NFWF’s Northeastern Region have grown, the need for effective technical guidance and support has increased as well. We are seeking a qualified professional environmental consultant or company to assist grantees with the necessary compliance documentation.
