Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Land Protection and other RSC Activities in the SuAsCo Watershed" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 15 NERO 0107) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary cooperative agreement announcement. It is not an open call for proposals and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that the NPS has already made an award to a specific organization, Sudbury Valley Trustees (SVT), to continue ongoing work connected to land protection and related River Stewardship Council (RSC) activities within the Sudbury, Assabet, and Concord (SuAsCo) Watershed.
The award is tied to the NPS program listed under CFDA 15.954, "National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education." The announcement indicates a single expected award (Expected Awards: 1) with total funding set at $73,200. The award amount is fixed, with an award ceiling and floor both listed as $73,200, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The notice was posted and created on July 15, 2015, had an original and current closing date of July 24, 2015, and was archived on July 25, 2015. Although the system lists eligibility as 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), the repeated emphasis throughout the posting makes clear that no applications were being solicited because the recipient had already been selected and funded.
The purpose of the agreement is cooperative in nature, meaning SVT is expected to work closely with the NPS and other partners rather than operate independently with a simple grant. Under the terms described, SVT agrees to continue committing staff time and organizational resources to implement the agreement collaboratively with the NPS, local communities, the RSC, and any other appropriate entities. The work is to be guided by mutually agreed-upon work plan elements, reinforcing that priorities, tasks, and deliverables are meant to be coordinated between partners instead of unilaterally set by one party.
In addition to the core collaboration and implementation role, SVT is expected to take on other tasks as needed to support the partnership goals. The announcement notes that this may be done through direct support by SVT staff or through subcontracting when necessary, and that the specific additional tasks and duties are to be determined by mutual agreement. This language suggests flexibility in how the work is carried out, allowing the parties to adapt to evolving needs in the watershed while staying within the framework of the cooperative agreement.
A key responsibility highlighted in the announcement is SVT's role as fiduciary agent for the River Stewardship Council. In practical terms, this means SVT is responsible for handling and administering certain funds connected to the RSC's work under or subsequent to the agreement. However, the announcement also places an explicit control on that fiduciary role: SVT may not spend funds under this agreement without approval from the RSC. That condition underscores that the RSC retains oversight authority over how those funds are ultimately used, with SVT serving as the financial administrator and compliance-focused intermediary.
