Solicitation/Project Title:
23WM 2026 Fall Bat Acoustics

Description:
The aim of this work is to conduct passive acoustic monitoring of a minimum of 70 potential hibernacula portals in fall of 2026 statewide across Pennsylvania.  The selected contractor will apply passive acoustic devices at cave and mine portals and analyze the results. By placing these devices during the fall swarm period at these portals, we can determine potential use by bats, which will assist the PGC in prioritizing follow-up trapping surveys and subsequent protection, a key conservation measure in the bat Habitat Conservation Plan.

This project will give us information on timing and quantity of bat activity, as well as species/guild ID.  These detectors will be put in place during the fall swarm period (Sept 15 to Oct 30).
Any questions concerning the technical or administrative aspect of this bid should be directed to:
