About this opportunity
The Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) announces its intention to award a best-value grant to the Town of Ashburnham for land acquisition under the FY2025 Cambridge Grant Forest Legacy Project, with an objection deadline of September 18, 2026.
The grant is funded through a Forest Legacy Program protect grant from the United States Forest Service and totals $220,000. The scope involves acquisition of approximately 49 acres of eligible land in Ashburnham through a collaborative effort between DCR, the town, and approved project partners. All land acquired must be eligible under Forest Legacy Program requirements and applicable law. The town of Ashburnham is responsible for executing the acquisition as approved by both DCR and the United States Forest Service under a Massachusetts Standard Contract. The grant period runs September 2026 through December 2026. Grant funds must be used exclusively for eligible land acquisition and are subject to acceptance by DCR and the Office of the Comptroller.
DCR determined that direct award to the Town of Ashburnham without an open public process is fair, reasonable, necessary, and efficient in supporting the grant's purposes and ensuring timely disbursement. The notice period is 14 days from posting (September 4, 2026) for potential objections or questions regarding the proposed award.
