This is a qualification form for a Senior Consultation Specialist position related to Endangered Species Act (ESA) consultation services with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). The form requests documentation of the proposed specialist's qualifications, work experience, and project history. Applicants must demonstrate thorough understanding of ESA section 7 and section 10 consultation document preparation, including creation of action areas, effects analysis, and conservation measures. The specialist must provide evidence of completion of six consultation documents within the past ten years, with specific requirements: at least two documents must support formal consultation or conference as Biological Assessments (BAs) resulting in Biological Opinions (BOs) or Concurrence Opinions (COs), at least two must be Biological Evaluations (BEs) supporting informal consultation with USFWS/NMFS concurrence, and the remaining two may be either formal or informal. At least two of the six consultation documents must address species endemic to Texas, and at least two projects must be transportation-related in support of NEPA clearance.

The form requires submission of the applicant's name, current employer, educational credentials, years of professional experience with relevant job descriptions (not to exceed 500 words), and detailed project descriptions for each of the six required consultation projects. Each project entry must include project identification, location, client information, final approval and deliverable dates, consultation type classification, federal action agency identification, protected/imperiled species involved, USFWS/NMFS consultation number, date of BOO/CO/concurrence, transportation project designation with CSJ number if applicable to TxDOT, and project description detailing impacts, species involved, and the specialist's specific roles and responsibilities (not to exceed 250 words per project). Technical assistance or no-effect determinations will not be counted toward the required consultation documentation.
