The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Alaska is seeking a cooperative agreement to manage invasive species and habitat at Eielson Air Force Base (EAFB) in Alaska. The project aims to eradicate invasive aquatic plants, manage vegetation, and develop habitat conditions favorable to native fish, wildlife, and ecological communities. Eligible applicants include states, local governments, Indian tribes, non-governmental organizations, and individuals with experience in natural resource management. Evaluation criteria will focus on past performance, technical approach, and cost, with an emphasis on prior work supporting Department of Defense natural resource management programs. The application deadline is July 9, 2025, with an estimated award date of July 30, 2024.
The total estimated funding for the project is $714,861, with an initial project ceiling of $133,308 for the first year. The cooperative agreement will run for 12 months, with options for two additional 12-month periods, subject to funding availability. The project will involve treating up to 300 acres of invasive aquatic plants in various lakes and water bodies at EAFB, including Hidden Lake, Pike Lake, and Scout Lake. The work will be performed at Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska, with the primary objective of implementing the installation's Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan and supporting ecological diversity and sustainability.
Synopsis
This project is intended to provide Eielson Air Force Base (EAFB) in implementing natural resources management activities including but not limited to conservation of natural resources on such installations, protectiveness provisions related to the management of fish and wildlife resources, maintain functional ecosystems and natural diversity including sustainable populations, native species, and ecological communities. This project will eradicate invasive aquatic plants and manage vegetation in and around EAFB waterbodies in support of EAFB Natural Resource Program to develop habitat conditions favorable to the production of native fish, wildlife species, and vegetation.

This project meets the requirements of the INRMP and fulfills agency responsibilities for natural resource stewardship. The project will optimize the management of EAFB managed lands and waterbodies, minimize restrictions to the military mission due to natural resource related constraints, and manage game and non-game fish and wildlife species for long-term sustainability, diversity, and productivity of the ecosystem.
