Opportunity Summary:
The County of Marin Emergency Service Response FY16 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00638) is a National Park Service cooperative agreement designed to ensure reliable emergency response coverage within the exterior boundaries of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The work centers on maintaining and delivering essential public safety capabilities in and around the park, either directly by the County of Marin or through mutual aid agreements with communities in Western Marin County. In practical terms, the funded effort supports readiness, coordination, and the availability of personnel, facilities, communications, and equipment needed to respond quickly to incidents that threaten people, property, or natural resources.
The scope of services is broad and focused on real-world emergency needs. It includes wildland fire pre-suppression activities (such as preparedness measures that reduce the chance a fire starts or grows), fire prevention efforts, and the provision of ambulance services and related facilities. It also covers emergency communications and other emergency-use equipment, which are critical for coordinating multi-agency responses and ensuring responders can operate effectively in challenging terrain and fast-moving situations. The announcement defines emergency services to include, but not be limited to, the suppression and pre-suppression of both structural and wildland fires, hazardous materials response, and the recovery, stabilization, and transportation of sick or injured individuals. Taken together, the intent is to support a comprehensive emergency response capability for incidents ranging from brush fires to medical emergencies and hazardous material events.
From an administrative standpoint, this is categorized as a discretionary opportunity using a cooperative agreement funding instrument, with the funding activity category listed as "Other" and associated with CFDA number 15.954. Eligibility is limited to county governments, reflecting that the program is meant to fund local government capacity rather than private entities or individuals. The expected award count is one, with an award ceiling of $46,000, indicating a single, targeted agreement rather than a competitive pool of multiple grants.
Importantly, this posting is explicitly described as not a request for applications. It is a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it was issued primarily to satisfy public notice requirements rather than to solicit proposals. The creation date is September 13, 2016, and the original closing date is September 14, 2016, which aligns with the notice-only nature of the announcement and suggests that the recipient was effectively predetermined based on the operational need and the County's role in providing emergency services for the area. The issuing agency is the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, underscoring that the federal interest is tied to protecting visitors, staff, infrastructure, and natural resources within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area through dependable local emergency services coverage.
