Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to award a cooperative agreement for a specific environmental research project titled "Evaluating the Geomorphological and Sedimentological Effects of a Demonstration Project for Restoring Bayside Sediment Processes at Sailors Haven Marina." It is issued by the United States Department of the Interior and falls under the Environment and Natural Resources category. The core purpose is to study how a demonstration restoration effort affects shoreline and bay-bottom form (geomorphology) and sediment behavior (sedimentology) at or near Sailors Haven Marina, with an emphasis on understanding and improving "bayside sediment processes" that influence erosion, deposition, navigation conditions, habitat, and overall coastal stability. In practical terms, the work would typically involve measuring changes in sediment movement and landform features before and after restoration actions, then interpreting what those changes mean for long-term management of the site within the National Park System.
A key point is that this announcement is not a competitive grant solicitation. The NPS explicitly states it is not requesting applications and is instead providing public notice that it intends to enter into an agreement without full and open competition. The planned award is identified as Task Agreement J1750100795 under Cooperative Agreement H4503090700, and the intended cooperator is Rutgers University. This structure indicates the project is being carried out as a cooperative effort in which the NPS and the university are expected to have substantial involvement, such as jointly shaping study design, coordinating field work, sharing data, and aligning results with park resource-management needs.
Funding details are narrowly defined because the award is essentially pre-decided. The opportunity lists an expected number of awards of one, with total estimated funding of $50,558. The award ceiling and floor are both $50,558, which signals there is no range and the amount is fixed for this particular agreement action. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated. The assistance listing references CFDA numbers 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs and Resources of the National Park System, consistent with research intended to support park stewardship and decision-making.
Administrative timing information reflects the notice-only nature of the posting. The opportunity was posted and created on July 5, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 9, 2012, and an archive date of July 10, 2012. Those short timeframes are typical for a notice of intent to award rather than a period meant for proposal development. Eligibility is listed as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, but because the NPS is announcing a non-competitive intent to award to Rutgers University, the eligibility statement functions more as a classification than an invitation for other institutions to apply.
For additional documentation, the NPS directs readers to consult the attachment under the "Full Announcement" section, implying that the detailed scope of work, deliverables, schedule, reporting requirements, and technical methods are contained there. The contact listed for access issues is Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-9153, associated with the Sailors Haven Marina effort.
