Description: THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD TO A SINGLE SOURCE, AND THERE IS NO FULL ANNOUNCEMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS NOTICE. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) intends to award a cooperative agreement to Lafayette Central Park Inc. to contribute towards the establishment of a 100-acre nature-oriented urban park (Moncus Park) in Lafayette, Louisiana that is anticipated to serve a huge population segment. The award is intended to engage in coastal prairie restoration (7 acres), bottomland hardwood restoration (5 acres), and invasive eradication/control (25 acres) for the benefit of at-risk species conservation including monarch butterfly (and other pollinators), tri-colored bat, golden-winged warbler, loggerhead shrike, Henslow&apos;s sparrow, indigo and painted buntings. The project will include restoring and enhancing monarch habitat by establishing foraging and nesting vegetation, restoring migrating habitat for the golden-winged warbler, and nesting/foraging habitat for the tri-colored bat, as well as restoring nesting and wintering habitat for a variety of declining grassland songbird species of concern.
