Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes the National Park Service's intent to issue a single source, noncompetitive cooperative agreement to the State of Washington's Department of Ecology, specifically the Washington Conservation Corps (WCC), for conservation and restoration work in two National Park Service units in Washington State. The opportunity is being issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, through North Cascades National Park, and it is explicitly framed as a public notice rather than a solicitation. In other words, it is not inviting applications from other organizations; it is documenting the agency's plan to fund a specific partner without full and open competition.
The award would be made under Department of the Interior policy (referenced as 505 DM 2) using a "unique qualifications" justification. The notice states that WCC is considered uniquely qualified due to factors such as its location, capacity to provide voluntary support, technical expertise, and other specialized qualifications described in the underlying justification. The practical implication is that the National Park Service believes WCC has a distinct ability to deliver the required work effectively compared to other potential providers, and that this meets the internal standards for making a single source award.
The planned instrument is a cooperative agreement with an anticipated period of performance of nine months. Work would take place at Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve near Coupeville, Washington, and at San Juan Island National Historical Park near Friday Harbor, Washington. Rather than funding one single defined project activity, the cooperative agreement would serve as an umbrella arrangement, with specific task agreements issued afterward. Those task agreements would cover on-the-ground natural and cultural resource work such as restoring campsites, completing trail and fence work, stabilizing elements of the cultural landscape, and related restoration and maintenance activities.
Funding for the effort is relatively modest and is tied to calendar year 2010 performance. The estimated total funding is listed as $32,000, with an award ceiling of $40,000 and an award floor of $1. The announcement indicates an expectation of one award and states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The eligible applicant category is state governments, consistent with the intended recipient being a Washington State agency program (WCC, under the Department of Ecology).
From a grants administration standpoint, the listing identifies the opportunity as discretionary funding and categorizes the activity under natural resources. It references CFDA number 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which aligns with the Washington Conservation Corps model of engaging corps members in conservation projects. Key dates in the posting include a posted and created date of March 23, 2010, an original and current closing date of April 6, 2010, and an archive date of May 6, 2010, reflecting the window during which the public notice was available on Grants.gov.
Finally, the notice provides a practical point of contact for access issues or questions about the announcement: Barry Fetzer, Contract Specialist/Contracting Officer at North Cascades National Park, with a listed phone number of 360-854-7219. An additional information link points generally to Grants.gov, reinforcing that the primary purpose of the posting is transparency about the government's intent to proceed with a noncompetitive, single source cooperative agreement rather than to run an open application process.
