Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) published a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Hydrogeologic investigation of groundwater systems supporting base flows in streams of the Rio Grande Basin" under Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIBIBE10011. The purpose of the work is to carry out a hydrogeologic investigation focused on understanding the groundwater systems that sustain base flow conditions in streams within the Rio Grande Basin. In practical terms, the project centers on identifying and characterizing how groundwater contributes to streamflow during dry periods, which is often critical for riparian ecosystems, water availability, and resource management decisions in arid and semi-arid regions.
This announcement is specifically a notice of intent to award, rather than an open competitive solicitation. The NPS indicates it intends to issue a task agreement under an already-existing cooperative agreement with Sul Ross State University. Because of that structure, the eligibility is effectively limited to that institution for this particular task agreement, and the posting functions primarily as a public notice documenting the agency's intent and the administrative details of the planned award.
The anticipated funding amount listed for the effort is $25,167 in total estimated funding. The opportunity lists an expected number of awards as one, and it notes no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically reflects a relationship where the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared to a standard grant, such as collaboration on technical direction, deliverables, or project coordination.
The opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources, and it references CFDA number 15.916, labeled "Outdoor RecreationAcquisition, Development and Planning." The notice was posted and created on August 17, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 18, 2011, and an archive date of August 19, 2011. The short posting window is consistent with a notice-of-intent format for an award that is not being competed broadly.
For additional information or difficulties accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Trish Fresquez Hernandez, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 505-988-6122, with the agency identified as the National Park Service.
