Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes the National Park Service intent to enter into a cooperative agreement with the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria to carry out cultural resource management work associated with Point Reyes National Seashore and the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. It is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award rather than an open solicitation, meaning the NPS is not requesting applications from the public and does not plan to use full and open competition for this effort. Instead, the posting functions mainly as a public transparency step that announces the agency plan to fund specific activities through a formal agreement with a single eligible partner.
The project focus is cultural resources management, with an emphasis on activities such as archeological monitoring and related cultural resource protection work. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," clarified in the announcement as cultural resource management, including archeological monitoring. This aligns with the listed CFDA program number 15.946, Cultural Resources Management, which supports work to preserve and manage archeological, historical, and other cultural resources under NPS stewardship. In practice, this type of cooperative agreement commonly supports on-the-ground monitoring of sensitive sites, assistance during maintenance or construction projects where ground disturbance might occur, documentation of cultural resources, and coordination that ensures compliance with applicable cultural resource protection requirements.
The total anticipated federal funding under the cooperative agreement is expected not to exceed 500,000 dollars, with an award ceiling of 500,000 dollars and an award floor of 0 dollars. The notice also states that funding will be obligated through individual task agreements, meaning the overall cooperative agreement serves as an umbrella framework and specific pieces of work will be authorized and funded incrementally as separate tasks. No cost sharing or matching is required, so the tribal partner is not expected to provide a non-federal match as a condition of receiving funds.
Eligibility is limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and the intended recipient identified by the title and description is the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses the cooperative agreement instrument, which generally indicates substantial involvement by the NPS in project planning, coordination, or implementation rather than a more hands-off grant structure.
Key dates in the public notice record include an original posting date and creation date of August 29, 2014, a current closing date of September 5, 2014, and an archive date of September 12, 2014. The short window tied to the "closing date" reflects that this is not an application period but a defined timeframe for the notice posting. The funding opportunity number associated with this announcement is P14AS00315.
