Opportunity Summary:

The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, posted a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Coastal Adaptation Impacts on Jamaica Bay Water Quality, Waves and Flooding Post Hurricane Sandy, New York." This posting is not a competitive grant solicitation and is not asking the public to submit applications. Instead, it serves as formal public notice that NPS intends to make a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement award to one specific organization: Stevens Institute of Technology, a private institution of higher education. The notice indicates that the work will be carried out under a new cooperative agreement identified as P14AC01472.

The purpose of the project, as reflected in the title, is to support activities related to understanding and evaluating coastal adaptation and post-Hurricane Sandy conditions and impacts in and around Jamaica Bay in New York, with particular emphasis on water quality, wave conditions, and flooding dynamics. While the notice itself does not spell out the technical scope in the text provided, it clearly frames the effort as a post-storm coastal science and adaptation-focused initiative, consistent with NPS natural resource stewardship responsibilities and the needs of coastal parks and surrounding communities to improve understanding of storm-driven and climate-related coastal hazards.

Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as a discretionary funding action and will be implemented through a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in carrying out the project compared to a standard grant. The assistance listing is tied to CFDA number 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship. The announcement states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.

In terms of funding, NPS expects to make one award with an estimated total funding amount of $699,994. The award floor and award ceiling are both listed as $699,994, signaling that the intended award amount is fixed for this action. The notice was posted and created on August 28, 2014, with an original and current closing date of September 2, 2014, and an archive date of September 3, 2014. The short open period aligns with the fact that the notice is meant to inform the public of an intended sole-source award rather than to run an application process.

For anyone needing the complete official details, the notice directs readers to the attachment available through the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov. The listed point of contact for issues accessing the announcement is Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476.
