Opportunity Summary:
The "North Cascades National Park Project Work Stehekin 2011" notice (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOI NOCA P11AT80960) is a National Park Service (NPS) public notice stating the agency's intent to fund a specific set of conservation and maintenance activities in the North Cascades National Park Complex (NOCA) in Washington State. It is not a competitive grant solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves to document that NPS plans to issue a single-source, noncompetitive task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement (P11AC80257) with the State of Washington, Department of Ecology, Washington Conservation Corps (WCC).
The planned award is a cooperative agreement action categorized under natural resources, tied to CFDA 15.931 (Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations). NPS indicates it will make one award with an estimated total funding amount of $16,800 (award ceiling listed as $16,800; award floor listed as $1), and it states there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The posting date is September 2, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 9, 2011, and an archive date of September 12, 2011. The recipient identified in the notice is the Washington Conservation Corps, administered through the Washington State Department of Ecology, located in Olympia, Washington.
The core purpose of the project is to carry out on-the-ground conservation, environmental restoration, and facility support work at various sites in and around Stehekin and the broader NOCA area. The task agreement scope includes installing new fencing and repairing existing fencing, repairing irrigation ditches in the Buckner Orchard, performing campground maintenance, conducting revegetation work, and eradicating invasive species. The notice frames these activities as part of ongoing stewardship needs within the park complex and emphasizes practical project delivery alongside environmental benefits.
A major rationale given for the noncompetitive approach is WCC's "unique qualifications" under Department of Interior policy (cited as Departmental Manual 505 DM 2). NPS argues WCC is uniquely suited based on factors such as proximity/location, the ability to support and house crews, relevant technical expertise, and other capacity-related qualifications. The announcement also highlights the partnership value of youth conservation crews: involving young adults (generally ages 18 to 25) in conservation work is presented as serving public purposes like environmental education, development of responsible citizenship, and productive community involvement. In other words, the award is positioned not only as a way to complete needed park projects efficiently, but also as a workforce development and public engagement tool aligned with WCC's mission.
Because this is strictly a notice of intent to award without full and open competition, there is no application, submission, or peer review process described for the public. Multiple sections (eligibility, application submission, review, and award administration) repeat the same central point: the NPS intends to make a single-source award to WCC and is providing transparency to the public rather than inviting proposals from other entities.
For questions, the listed agency contact is Barry Fetzer, Supervisory Contract Specialist at North Cascades National Park, located in Sedro-Woolley, Washington, with the provided email (Barryfetzer@nps.gov) and phone number (360-854-7219).
