Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Lifeguard Management within the Florida District of Gulf Island National Seashore" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOI 15 GUIS 64546). This notice is meant to inform the public that the NPS plans to make a single, non-competitive award through a Cooperative Agreement, rather than soliciting applications or proposals. In other words, it is not an open competition and the agency is not asking organizations to apply. The notice is provided to meet federal and Department of the Interior requirements for transparency when an agency plans to make a sole-source award, specifically referencing Department of Interior guidance at 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C.
The purpose of the cooperative agreement is to support the coordinated management of lifeguard operations in the Florida District of Gulf Islands National Seashore. The work focuses on providing lifeguard services at three specifically designated guarded beaches: Opal Beach, Langdon Beach, and Johnson Beach. In addition to staffing those locations, the agreement also covers emergency lifeguard response capabilities for unguarded beaches in the Fort Pickens, Santa Rosa, and Perdido Key areas. The overall intent is public safety: ensuring a reliable lifeguard presence where the park has designated guarded swimming beaches, while also maintaining an emergency response function for other shoreline areas that do not have regular lifeguard staffing.
This opportunity is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates that the NPS expects substantial involvement in the work alongside the recipient, rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The activity category is listed under consumer protection, reflecting the safety and protective services aspect of lifeguarding and emergency response in a high-visitor coastal recreation setting. The expected number of awards is one, and the announcement identifies the recipient as a single-source award to the Santa Rosa Island Authority, which is also why the eligibility field notes that it is not a request for applications.
Financially, the announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $222,691. It does not specify an award ceiling or award floor (both are shown as $0 in the listing, which typically means those limits were not set or not entered in the public summary). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide a mandatory non-federal match as a condition of the award, based on the posted summary information.
Key dates in the public record show the opportunity was posted and created on February 25, 2015, with an original and current closing date of February 27, 2015, and an archive date of March 29, 2015. Those short timeframes are consistent with a notice of intent for a sole-source award, where the main purpose is public notification rather than collecting submissions.
For anyone needing additional details beyond the summary, the notice references a "Full Announcement" attachment. If there are issues accessing that document electronically, the listed point of contact is Rose McClelland, Contracting Specialist, at (504) 589-3882 or rosemcclelland@nps.gov. The CFDA program number associated with this funding is 15.954, National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education, which is the broader assistance listing under which this cooperative agreement falls.
