Opportunity Summary:

The National Park Service grant opportunity titled "National Park Service La Bajada Historic Roadbed and Retaining Walls Stabilization" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC01428) is a discretionary funding action intended to support natural resource-related work connected to the National Park System. The effort is focused on stabilization activities for the La Bajada Historic Roadbed and its retaining walls, which suggests preservation and protection of historic infrastructure and associated landscape features that are at risk from deterioration, erosion, or structural instability. The funding instrument identified is a cooperative agreement, meaning the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant.

This notice is not an open competition and is explicitly described as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive award under the Department of the Interior authorities referenced as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. It is being issued under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a partnership framework commonly used by DOI bureaus to collaborate with partner organizations on research, technical assistance, and applied conservation or cultural resource work. The announcement states that it will result in a task agreement award under the CESU, indicating a specific, defined scope of work to be carried out through that cooperative framework.

Only one award is expected, and the announcement clarifies that it is a single-source action to Cornerstones Community Partnerships. As a result, the listing is not a request for applications and is not seeking proposals from other entities. While the general eligible applicant category is listed as "Others" (with additional eligibility details referenced elsewhere in the full announcement), the practical eligibility for this specific action is limited to the named recipient because it is a planned noncompetitive award.

The estimated total funding amount is $34,588, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The CFDA numbers associated with the opportunity are 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs and Resources of the National Park System. Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on August 6, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 10, 2014, and an archive date of September 9, 2014. Even though a closing date is listed, in this case it functions more as an administrative timeline for the notice of intent rather than a window for the public to submit applications.

For access issues or questions about obtaining the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2303.
