Opportunity Summary:
The opportunity titled "Develop Phase 3 Restoration Plan for Halstead Meadow, Sequoia National Park, CA" is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to award funding for a specific, pre-identified project rather than an open, competitive grant solicitation. It is issued by the United States Department of the Interior (DOI) under the NPS and is categorized as a discretionary funding action using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. Because it is a notice of intent to award, the posting is meant to inform the public that the NPS plans to provide funding without full and open competition, and it explicitly states that it is not requesting applications and does not have an application deadline.
The project focus is natural resources work connected to Sequoia National Park in California, specifically the development of a "Phase 3" restoration plan for Halstead Meadow. While the posting does not lay out technical deliverables in detail, the title and context indicate that the work centers on planning and design for ecological restoration, typically involving assessment of current meadow conditions, identification of restoration goals, development of restoration alternatives, and preparation of an actionable plan that can guide on-the-ground implementation and future monitoring. Since it is described as Phase 3, the effort likely builds on earlier phases of study or planning already completed for the meadow, moving toward a more finalized restoration plan.
The intended recipient is Colorado State University, working through the Rocky Mountains Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) partnership structure. The award is associated with Task Agreement P16AC00757 under an existing Cooperative Agreement P14AC00749, which is a common federal approach for continuing or tasking specific projects under an established agreement with a university partner. The eligible applicant category listed for the opportunity is public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, aligning with the selection of a university partner for this work.
Financially, the notice indicates an anticipated single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an award ceiling of $40,290. The opportunity is tracked under Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00183 and is linked to CFDA 15.945, a catalog identifier associated with National Park Service assistance for natural resource-related activities. The notice was created and posted on May 23, 2016, and both the original and current closing dates are listed as "THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR APPLICATIONS," reinforcing that the funding decision is non-competitive and targeted to the named institution for the specific project scope.
