Opportunity Summary:
The Historic Landscape Management Program partnership with GGNPC (Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00032) is a National Park Service discretionary funding action structured as a cooperative agreement in the natural resources activity category, tied to CFDA 15.946 (Cultural Resources Management). The project is designed to support the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, including Fort Point National Historic Site and Muir Woods National Monument, by strengthening how the park manages and protects its historic landscapes. In practical terms, the work focuses on sustaining a large and complex system of culturally significant outdoor places by improving documentation, evaluating impacts from proposed work, and guiding restoration and rehabilitation projects so that historic character is retained.
A central part of the scope is professional historic landscape documentation, especially identifying and recording "character-defining features" (the physical elements and spatial relationships that convey why a landscape is historically important). Alongside that, the agreement supports assessments of historic significance and evaluations of how planned park projects or partner-driven activities may affect these landscapes. This is framed explicitly around compliance responsibilities under the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), meaning the effort helps the park meet federal preservation requirements by ensuring changes to historic landscapes are reviewed, understood, and managed in a way that avoids or minimizes adverse effects.
Another key emphasis is project management for restoration and rehabilitation within historic landscapes. That can include coordinating planning and implementation work, ensuring treatments align with preservation standards, and keeping projects on track so that rehabilitation work improves conditions while still respecting historic integrity. The stated rationale for using this partnership is that the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy (GGNPC) offers specialized capacity that the park can leverage directly, particularly staff expertise in cultural resources and historic landscapes, which is expected to make delivery more efficient and successful.
From an administrative standpoint, this announcement is a notice of intent to award rather than an open competition. The posting (January 12, 2015) and closing date (January 19, 2015) are included for public notice purposes, and the announcement clearly states it is not a request for applications. The NPS planned to fund the project under an existing cooperative agreement with GGNPC, with an expected single award. Total estimated funding is $130,000, with an award ceiling of $130,000 and an award floor of $88,200, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed. Eligibility is limited to qualifying nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), which aligns with the Conservancy's nonprofit role in supporting the park.
