Opportunity Summary:

This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior grant action related to the continuation of an existing coastal geomorphological monitoring effort focused on shoreline and coastal topographical monitoring. The opportunity is labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award," and it explicitly states that it is not a request for applications. In practical terms, that means the NPS is not seeking proposals from the public; instead, it is announcing that it intends to provide funding to continue work already underway under an established agreement.

The funding is tied to a specific modification (Modification 0006) to an existing Task Agreement, identified as J4506040626, with Rutgers University as the cooperating partner. The purpose is to maintain or extend a coastal monitoring protocol that tracks geomorphological change, which commonly includes measuring shoreline position, beach and dune elevation changes, and other coastal topography metrics that help parks understand erosion, storm impacts, and longer-term coastal dynamics. The listing indicates that complete details are contained in an attachment available under the full announcement, reinforcing that this posting is primarily a transparency and public notice step rather than an open competition.

Administratively, the opportunity is issued as a cooperative agreement under the environment activity category, with a single expected award. The total estimated funding is $55,143, and both the award ceiling and floor are also $55,143, which signals a fixed, predetermined award amount rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted on June 30, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 5, 2010, and it was archived on July 6, 2010, reflecting the short public-notice window typical for non-competitive intent-to-award postings.

Although the listing’s eligibility field mentions 501(c)(3) nonprofits other than institutions of higher education, the narrative makes clear that the intended recipient is Rutgers University through the referenced task agreement modification. Anyone needing help accessing the full announcement materials is directed to contact Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist, at 215-597-6476. Overall, the notice is best read as an official announcement that NPS plans to continue funding an ongoing shoreline monitoring project through an existing partner relationship, rather than an opportunity that outside organizations can apply for.
