Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) intent to make a single, pre-selected cooperative agreement award for a project titled "Geomorphological maps of National Park Service coastal parks in New York and New Jersey." It is explicitly labeled as a NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD and "NOT A REQUEST FOR APPLICATIONS," meaning the NPS is not soliciting proposals from the public. Instead, the purpose is to provide transparency that the agency plans to fund specific project activities without full and open competition.
The planned award would be issued as a Cooperative Agreement under the NPS discretionary funding authority, categorized under an environmental activity area. The work is tied to Task Agreement P11AT40777 under Cooperative Agreement H4503090700, within a CESU framework (Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units), and the identified cooperator is Rutgers University. The eligible applicant category listed is public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, but in practice this announcement functions as a formal public posting that the NPS intends to fund Rutgers for this particular effort rather than opening a competitive process.
Financially, the opportunity is structured as a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $173,324. The award ceiling and floor are both $173,324, which signals the NPS has a fixed, predetermined budget for the project rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated.
The posting dates show how brief the administrative window is for this type of notice: it was posted and created on August 5, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 11, 2011, and it was archived on August 12, 2011. That short timeline is consistent with an intent-to-award notice where the agency is not collecting applications, but instead meeting public notice requirements before finalizing the agreement.
For reference and reporting context, the notice lists CFDA number 15.945, which corresponds to Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. Anyone needing help accessing the full announcement materials is directed to contact Peggy Wall, Administrative Officer, at 410-260-2473.
