Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) announcement identified as Funding Opportunity Number P15AC00070, titled "Administration, Management and Policy Oversight of Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve." Despite being presented in the grants portal format, it is explicitly not an open funding opportunity. Instead, it functions as a formal Notice of Intent to make a single-source award under the Department of the Interior policy referenced as 505 DM 2 and 505 DM 3. In practical terms, that means the NPS was signaling its intent to directly award an agreement to one specific recipient rather than soliciting applications competitively from the public.
The planned award instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates a partnership-style arrangement where the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the work (as opposed to a standard grant where the recipient typically has more independent responsibility). The activity category is listed as "Other," with the explanation clarifying that the work relates to administrative functions and oversight for Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve (the announcement text also uses "National Historical Site" in one field, but the title and overall context clearly point to Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve). The scope implied by the title and category explanation centers on administration, management support, and policy oversight rather than construction, land acquisition, or research.
The notice indicates there would be one expected award, consistent with the single-source intent. The associated CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number is 15.954, labeled "National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education," which is a broad umbrella program that can cover cooperative agreements supporting NPS mission-related activities. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated, meaning the recipient would not be required to contribute a specified non-federal share as a condition of the award.
Financially, the announcement lists an award ceiling of $169,000 and an award floor of $33,327, with an "EstimatedTotalFunding" field showing "1" (which appears to be a data-entry placeholder rather than a meaningful dollar figure). The key takeaway is that the contemplated award amount could vary within the stated floor-to-ceiling range, but the ceiling suggests the agreement could be up to $169,000 depending on final scope and negotiations.
Eligibility is narrowly framed as "City or township governments," which aligns with the single-source structure and the nature of Ebey's Landing as a national historical reserve with strong local-government involvement and a management structure that often relies on local or regional public entities working with the NPS. Because this is not competitive, the eligibility line is less about inviting broad applications and more about describing the type of entity that the intended recipient falls under.
In terms of timing and status, the opportunity was posted and created on December 2, 2014, with an original and current closing date of December 12, 2014, and an archive date of January 11, 2015. Those dates generally reflect the public notice period for the intent-to-award posting rather than an application window in the usual sense, since the NPS was not requesting proposals from multiple applicants.
For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Susan Velie, Contract Specialist, at Olympic National Park (MABO), with the phone number 360-565-3114. The announcement repeatedly emphasizes that the full details are contained in the complete Notice of Intent, reinforcing that what is shown in the summary is primarily a public-facing notification of a planned, single-recipient cooperative agreement for management and policy oversight support related to Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve.
