Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) announced a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Data Warehouse for Air Quality Modeling in the Oil and Gas Region" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOIWASOP11AT70995). The purpose of the project is to support the creation and collaborative development of a data warehouse that can be used for air quality modeling in an oil and gas development region spanning parts of Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado. In practical terms, the project is focused on organizing and supporting access to the kinds of datasets needed to run and improve air quality models in an area where emissions and atmospheric conditions associated with oil and gas activities can be an important management concern. The activity area is categorized under Natural Resources, and the associated CFDA listing is 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship.
This opportunity was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning it is intended to be carried out with substantial involvement and collaboration between the federal agency and the recipient rather than as a simple procurement contract. The notice specifies that NPS planned to issue the work as a task agreement under an existing Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Cooperative Agreement (No. H2370094000). Importantly, it is explicitly described as a notice of intent for a non-competitive award to Colorado State University, rather than an open competition among multiple applicants. While the eligibility field lists "Public and State controlled institutions of higher education," the narrative makes clear that NPS intended to make a single award (Expected Awards: 1) directly to Colorado State University under the existing CESU framework, consistent with Department of the Interior policy referenced as Department Manual 505DM2.
The total estimated funding for the project was $215,850, which also served as the award ceiling, with an award floor of $0. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for recipients. The timeline reflected a very short posting window typical of notices of intent tied to a designated recipient: the opportunity was posted on September 9, 2011, with both the original and current closing date listed as September 12, 2011, and an archive date of October 12, 2011.
For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Robert Dobson, Contract Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 303-987-6988.
