Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Hydrologic and Sediment Transport Monitoring 2011 and 2012 Planning for Channel Restoration along Lulu Creek and the Colorado River, Rocky Mountain National Park is a discretionary funding action by the National Park Service (NPS) focused on natural resource management needs in Rocky Mountain National Park. The work centers on hydrologic monitoring and sediment transport assessment, with the results intended to support planning for channel restoration along Lulu Creek and the Colorado River. In practical terms, the project is about collecting and interpreting information on how water and sediment move through these stream systems, then using that information to guide restoration planning decisions in 2011 and 2012. The goal is to generate defensible technical data that can inform restoration design, prioritize actions, and improve the likelihood that any future channel work will be stable, effective, and aligned with park resource objectives.
This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement and is being implemented through the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are partnership frameworks used by DOI agencies to collaborate with universities and other partners on applied research and technical assistance. In this case, the announcement is explicitly a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive award under DOI policy (cited as DOI 505 DM 2.12C). That detail matters because it signals the agency is not seeking competing proposals; instead, it is documenting its intent to proceed with a single-source partner for this specific task agreement.
The announcement is not a request for applications and does not invite submissions from the general public or other institutions. Eligibility is effectively limited because the award is designated as a single-source action to Colorado State University. The listing includes the eligible applicant category as "Others," with a clarification that the actual intent is a single-source award, meaning other applicants are not being solicited or considered under this posting. The expected number of awards is one.
Funding for the action is listed at an estimated total of $29,119, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as zero, which often appears in postings that function more like administrative notices than competitive solicitations, especially when the funding amount is predetermined or handled through internal agreement documentation rather than a standard competitive grant structure. The activity category is natural resources, aligning with the monitoring and restoration-planning purpose.
Timing information in the record shows the opportunity was posted and created on December 10, 2010, with a closing date of December 14, 2010, and an archive date of January 13, 2011. Because this is a notice of intent rather than a competitive call, those dates are best understood as the window during which the public notice was active, not a period for submitting proposals.
For additional information or if there are problems accessing the full announcement, the contact listed is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392. The funding opportunity number tied to this notice is NPS NOIJ1526115033.
