Opportunity Summary:
The Hazard Fuels Reduction Projects opportunity at Point Reyes National Seashore and Golden Gate National Recreation Area is a National Park Service (NPS) funding action announced as a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not an open solicitation and it is not asking the public to submit applications. Instead, the purpose of the posting is to give public notice that NPS intends to fund a specific partner for specific project activities without full and open competition, using a single-source justification referenced in the attached Notice of Intent documentation.
The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement under a discretionary funding category, and the work falls under the Disaster Prevention and Relief activity area. The listing is associated with CFDA 15.948, National Fire Plan Wildland Urban Interface Community Fire Assistance, which signals that the core focus is reducing wildfire risk where communities and wildlands meet, including preventative work that can lessen the likelihood or severity of damaging fires. The cooperator identified for this effort is the Marin County Fire Department, and the eligible applicant type shown is county governments, aligning with the selected partner being a county fire agency.
Structurally, the announcement explains that an existing umbrella Cooperative Agreement is already in place with the Marin County Fire Department, and that NPS intends to proceed through specific Task Agreements under that umbrella. In practical terms, that means NPS and the county partner have a broader, ongoing cooperative relationship, and this particular posting corresponds to a planned task or set of tasks to be funded under that relationship rather than a brand-new, competitively awarded grant.
In terms of scale and timing, the opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The estimated total funding for the announcement is listed as 84,500, with an award ceiling of 84,500 and an award floor of 0. At the same time, the narrative notes that the total anticipated awards from the specific Task Agreement referenced in the Notice of Intent should not exceed 40,000, indicating that while the overall posting may reflect a broader funding amount or maximum, the particular task being justified and noticed publicly is expected to be at or below 40,000. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated, so the partner is not required by the opportunity listing to provide matching funds as a condition of the award.
The posting dates emphasize that this was a short notice window consistent with a public notice rather than a competitive process. The opportunity was posted and created on September 4, 2014, with an original and current closing date of September 8, 2014, and an archive date of September 12, 2014. Because it is not a Request for Applications, these dates function more as an administrative public notice period than an application deadline.
