Opportunity Summary:
The Kawaihae Fire Watershed Restoration and Enhancement: Repair and Replace Goat Exclusion Fencing opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00648) is a discretionary National Park Service (NPS) funding action under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is issued as a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not a competitive solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that NPS intends to make a single award without full and open competition for specific, predefined project work related to natural resource protection and watershed restoration.
The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project’s implementation, coordination, or oversight, rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the assistance listing referenced is CFDA 15.944 (now typically referred to under the Assistance Listings system). The opportunity lists eligibility as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), reflecting that the intended partner is a qualified nonprofit organization.
NPS states it plans to fund Cooperative Agreement P16AC01807 with The Kohala Center, Inc. for the project titled Kawaihae Fire Watershed Restoration and Enhancement: Repair and Replace Goat Exclusion Fencing. The core purpose of the project is to repair and replace goat exclusion fencing, a type of protective infrastructure used to prevent goats from entering sensitive areas. In watershed and post-fire restoration contexts, feral or free-ranging goats can significantly hinder ecosystem recovery by browsing young plants, stripping vegetation, destabilizing soils, and contributing to erosion. Exclusion fencing is commonly used in Hawaii and other island ecosystems to protect native vegetation and improve habitat resilience, particularly in areas recovering from wildfire impacts where regrowth is especially vulnerable.
The opportunity was created on September 15, 2016, and it lists an award ceiling of $51,360 with an expected number of awards of 1. Because it is not open for competition, there is no application deadline and no mechanism for new applicants to submit proposals under this notice. The posting’s practical function is transparency: it alerts the public that NPS intends to direct funds to a specific partner for a specific scope of work, rather than conducting a full competitive process.
In summary, this notice documents NPS’s intent to make a single, targeted cooperative agreement award to The Kohala Center to support watershed restoration and enhancement in the Kawaihae area through the repair and replacement of goat exclusion fencing, with the broader goal of protecting natural resources and supporting ecosystem recovery following fire-related impacts.
