Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Conservation Work Projects with Washington Conservation Corps at Mount Rainier National Park" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP16AC00390) is a discretionary funding action issued by the National Park Service (DOI-NPS) under a cooperative agreement mechanism. It falls under the Natural Resources activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.931. The posting and creation dates are both April 5, 2016, and the application closing date listed is May 4, 2016 (with no change between the original and current closing dates). The opportunity indicates that a single award is expected.
The core purpose of the project is to carry out essential maintenance and rehabilitation work at Mount Rainier National Park, specifically focused on campground rehabilitation and comfort station rehabilitation. In practical terms, this implies on-the-ground conservation and facility improvement work intended to maintain visitor infrastructure and address deferred maintenance needs within the park. The partner identified to perform this work is the Washington Conservation Corps (WCC), which would collaborate directly with Mount Rainier National Park staff to implement these projects.
A key feature of this notice is that it is a Notice of Intent to make a non-competitive award. Rather than soliciting open competition among multiple applicants, the National Park Service is signaling its intent to issue a task agreement to WCC under an existing master Cooperative Agreement (P11AC80257) already in place between WCC and the National Park Service. In other words, the agency is not seeking new proposals from the broader public through this specific notice; it is documenting and formalizing the planned award to an established partner through a task agreement tied to that master agreement.
Eligible applicant categories listed for the opportunity include state governments and certain nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). Even though those eligibility categories are present, the non-competitive nature of the announcement and its linkage to the preexisting master cooperative agreement indicate that the intended recipient is the Washington Conservation Corps and that the award will be made through that specific relationship. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which commonly indicates that a maximum funding amount is not provided in the public synopsis or will be determined within the task agreement rather than stated in the notice itself.
