Opportunity Summary:
The North Cascades National Park Project Work Summer 2011 notice (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOI NOCA P11AT80681) is a National Park Service (NPS), Department of the Interior announcement stating the agency's intent to fund a specific set of conservation and maintenance activities in the North Cascades National Park Complex (NOCA) during summer 2011. The key point of the document is that it is a public notice of an intended award, not a competitive grant solicitation. In plain terms, NPS is telling the public it plans to move forward with a noncompetitive, single-source task agreement rather than requesting applications from multiple organizations.
The intended recipient is the State of Washington, Department of Ecology, Washington Conservation Corps (WCC), based in Olympia, Washington. NPS cites Department of the Interior policy (505 DM 2) to justify making the award without full and open competition, stating that WCC has unique qualifications that make it particularly suited to the work. Those qualifications are described broadly as location advantages, ability to support and mobilize crews, technical expertise, and an established capacity to carry out conservation fieldwork in partnership with NPS.
The planned award would be issued as a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement (P11AC80257). The project scope focuses on hands-on park operations and backcountry infrastructure needs, including campsite work, building repairs, backcountry trail maintenance, and trail construction. The estimated total value for the task agreement is $37,800, which is also listed as the award ceiling, with no cost-sharing or matching requirement.
Beyond the operational tasks, the notice explains the partnership rationale and public purpose. NPS emphasizes that working with WCC supports conservation and environmental restoration goals in the park while also providing environmental education and workforce development for young adults. WCC's mission is described as protecting and enhancing the environment while developing youth ages 18 to 25, helping them build skills and a commitment to environmental stewardship and community involvement. NPS frames the collaboration as a cost-effective and efficient way to support park facilities and natural and cultural resources, building on past successful partnerships with youth conservation organizations.
Because this is only a notice of intent and not a request for applications, the standard sections on eligibility, application submission, review, and award administration repeat the same message: the agency plans to make a single-source, noncompetitive award to WCC. The opportunity was posted July 20, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 22, 2011, and an archive date of July 25, 2011, reflecting the brief public notice period typical of single-source intent postings. The CFDA listing included is 15.931 (Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations), and the activity category is Natural Resources.
For questions, the listed point of contact is Barry Fetzer, Supervisory Contract Specialist at North Cascades National Park, located at 810 State Route 20, Sedro Woolley, WA 98284.
