Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, posted a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Cultural Monitoring of the Crane Flat Water System Replacement Project Phase 2." This notice is meant to publicly announce that NPS intends to provide funding for specific project activities through a cooperative agreement, and it is explicitly not a request for applications or an open competition. In other words, the agency is not soliciting proposals from the general public; it is notifying the public that it plans to move forward with a predetermined partner and funding arrangement.
The planned award is tied to Task Agreement Number P12AC10895 under an existing Cooperative Agreement (H8812043088) with the American Indian Council of Mariposa County. The focus of the work is cultural monitoring connected to Phase 2 of the Crane Flat Water System Replacement Project. Based on the opportunity classification, the work falls under the Natural Resources activity category, while the CFDA listing provided (15.946, Cultural Resources Management) signals that the purpose is to protect and properly manage cultural resources during the course of the water system replacement work. Cultural monitoring in this context generally refers to having qualified cultural monitors involved during ground-disturbing or construction activities so that culturally sensitive areas, materials, or sites are identified, respected, and handled according to applicable laws, agreements, and best practices. The structure of the announcement suggests NPS views this as a specialized need appropriately handled through a partner with relevant cultural expertise and community connection.
Funding details are very specific and fixed. The total estimated funding is $45,156, and both the award ceiling and floor are also listed as $45,156, indicating NPS anticipated a single award at that exact amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. The opportunity anticipated one award in total. No cost sharing or matching requirement is listed, meaning the recipient is not expected to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
The opportunity is labeled as discretionary and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically implies a more collaborative relationship between the federal agency and the recipient than a standard grant, often involving ongoing NPS involvement, coordination, or technical participation as the project is carried out. The eligible applicant category shown is nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), which aligns with the identified partner organization for this intended award.
Timing information reflects that this was a short administrative posting rather than a competitive application window. The notice was posted and created on July 5, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 6, 2012, and it was later archived on August 5, 2012. That compressed schedule is consistent with a notice whose purpose is transparency about a noncompetitive intended award, rather than providing time for applicants to develop and submit proposals.
For anyone needing help accessing the full announcement or seeking clarification, the listed contact is Lilette Baltodano, Financial Agreements Officer, at (415) 623-2251. The funding opportunity number associated with the posting is NPS PWRNOIP12AC10895, which can be used to reference or search for the record in NPS or federal funding archives.
