Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) funding action under the U.S. Department of the Interior for a project titled "Cooperative Habitat Restoration of a California Grassland." It is published as a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is meant to inform the public that NPS plans to make an award, and it is explicitly not a request for applications. In other words, the agency is not seeking proposals from the broader community and does not expect competing submissions for this particular project.
The planned award is being made through a cooperative agreement mechanism and falls under the Natural Resources activity area. The work would be carried out under Task Agreement Number P12AC15073, which sits under a larger Cooperative Agreement (H8C07080001) with the University of California, Berkeley. UC Berkeley is identified as a partner within the Californian Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a network structure commonly used by federal agencies to collaborate with universities and other partners on research, technical assistance, and resource management projects. The notice also states that the award will be made without full and open competition, which is the core purpose of publishing this type of announcement: to disclose that NPS intends to fund a specific partner directly rather than run a competitive process.
Financially, the opportunity is small and tightly defined. The estimated total funding is $30,400, and both the award ceiling and floor are also $30,400, signaling that NPS expects to issue a single award for a fixed amount rather than a range of potential award sizes. Only one award is anticipated. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
The eligibility category listed is "Public and State controlled institutions of higher education," which matches the identified recipient organization (UC Berkeley). The program is associated with CFDA number 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which broadly supports collaborative research and technical projects that benefit national park resources.
In terms of timing and administrative details, the notice was posted and created on August 25, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 26, 2012, and an archive date of September 25, 2012. Those dates reinforce that this is not an open competition window; rather, it is a short public-notice period associated with an intended direct award.
For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed NPS contact is Cameron Reed, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 415-623-2253 or by email at cameronreed@nps.gov.
