Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) notice titled "Cooperative Management of Four Sites along the Columbia River" is a public notification of the agency's intent to make a single cooperative agreement award without full and open competition. It is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it functions as a "Notice of Intent to Award" based on unique qualifications, consistent with Department of the Interior policy (505 DM). In practical terms, this means the NPS had already identified the appropriate partner and was publishing the announcement to document and justify a non-competitive funding decision.
The purpose of the cooperative agreement is to support cooperative management arrangements connected to Lewis and Clark National Historical Park, which Congress authorized through Public Law 108-387. Congress designed the park to be operated in partnership with the states of Washington and Oregon, reflecting the fact that key Lewis and Clark-related locations along the lower Columbia River region span multiple jurisdictions and include state-managed lands. The announcement points to two specific legal authorities in the law that enable this approach. First, Section 103(d)(4) authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to enter into an agreement with the State of Washington for state administration of land within the park boundary known as Cape Disappointment State Park. Second, Section 104(c) authorizes the Secretary to enter into cooperative management agreements with officials in Washington or Oregon to administer other sites tied to the Lewis and Clark Expedition experiences in the lower Columbia River region. Together, these provisions provide the statutory basis for joint administration rather than exclusive federal control.
Funding details in the notice show this was a small, targeted award. The opportunity was categorized as discretionary and environmental in nature, using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The expected number of awards was one, with an estimated total funding amount of $15,000. The award floor and ceiling were both set at $15,000, indicating a fixed intended award amount rather than a range. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement stated.
Eligibility was narrowly defined. The intended and eligible recipient was the State of Washington, acting through the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission. That aligns with the notice's focus on implementing cooperative management authorities, especially regarding Cape Disappointment State Park, which is a Washington state park located within the boundary of Lewis and Clark National Historical Park.
Timing information reflects that this was a brief, notice-style posting rather than an open solicitation. The opportunity was posted and created on August 18, 2009, with an original and current closing date of August 28, 2009, and it was later archived on September 27, 2009. For questions or access issues, the point of contact listed was Rodney Roberson, Contract Specialist/Agreements Officer, at 360-565-3024.
Overall, the notice documents NPS intent to provide a single $15,000 cooperative agreement to Washington State Parks to support congressionally authorized cooperative management of multiple Lewis and Clark-related sites along the lower Columbia River, consistent with the partnership model set out in Public Law 108-387.
