Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) notice titled "Cooperative Maintenance Efforts, U.S. Highway 101, Olympic National Park" describes an intent to award a cooperative agreement to the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) for urgent, pre-winter roadway repairs on a federally owned 12-mile segment of U.S. Highway 101 that runs through Olympic National Park. Highway 101 is identified as the primary transportation corridor for the western Olympic Peninsula, and the work is framed as a public safety need that must be completed quickly before winter conditions worsen the roadway and increase risks to travelers.
This announcement is explicitly not a request for applications and is not a competitive grant opportunity open to the public. Instead, it serves as formal public notice that NPS plans to fund the project without full and open competition under Department of the Interior policy (505 DM 2.14.A(4)). In practical terms, the agency is documenting why it is selecting a specific partner (WSDOT) rather than soliciting proposals from multiple entities. The only eligible applicant listed is the State of Washington, Department of Transportation, reflecting that the agreement is meant to be a targeted intergovernmental partnership rather than a broadly competed award.
The planned maintenance activities focus on restoring pavement conditions through grader patching and rotomilling of pavement surfaces. These are standard roadway preservation and repair techniques used to address surface deterioration, improve ride quality, and reduce hazards such as potholes and uneven pavement. The work is described as time-sensitive, with the expectation that WSDOT can mobilize immediately and complete the repairs within roughly a two-week period, which is a key justification for the noncompetitive approach.
Cost responsibilities are split between the partners, with WSDOT covering the majority of the overall project cost. The total project cost is stated as about $108,000, with WSDOT contributing approximately 76 percent (about $82,000). NPS and WSDOT will both contribute labor and equipment, while NPS will provide the asphalt. Although the broader project is $108,000, the federal funding amount reflected in the opportunity listing is $26,000, shown as both the estimated total funding and the award ceiling/floor, indicating that NPS's portion of the cooperative agreement is a fixed amount.
WSDOT is presented as uniquely qualified for several operational reasons: its equipment is already located nearby, minimizing the need for extensive staging; it has facilities and staging areas close to the site; the two organizations have a long history of working cooperatively; and WSDOT can respond quickly enough to meet the narrow pre-winter construction window. The listing indicates there is expected to be one award, and it categorizes the assistance as a discretionary cooperative agreement associated with transportation. The opportunity was posted on September 4, 2009, with a closing date of September 14, 2009, and an archive date of September 15, 2009, which aligns with the notice function of documenting the planned award rather than collecting applications over an extended period. For access issues or questions, the notice provides a point of contact: Rodney Roberson, Contract Specialist/Agreements Officer, at 360-565-3024.
