Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) announcement of its intent to make a single, specific award for a project related to LiDAR and other geospatial data connected to Hurricane Sandy. It is explicitly not a solicitation and not a request for applications, meaning organizations were not being invited to compete or submit proposals. Instead, NPS published this item as a transparency step to inform the public that it planned to fund identified project activities without full and open competition.
The project focus, as stated in the title, is a modification to ongoing or planned work involving acquisition coordination, compilation, data management, and change analysis of LiDAR and other geospatial datasets collected before and after Hurricane Sandy. In practical terms, this kind of work typically supports coastal and park-resource assessment by organizing and standardizing large geospatial datasets, coordinating how data are acquired across partners, and comparing pre-storm and post-storm elevation and landscape information to quantify change (for example, shoreline movement, dune loss, overwash deposits, wetland impacts, and other storm-driven geomorphic changes). The inclusion of both "pre and post" event data signals an emphasis on change detection and defensible, repeatable comparisons across time.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NPS expected to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply issuing a grant. The opportunity is categorized under CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with applied research and technical work that supports management and stewardship of national park resources. No cost sharing or matching was required.
Financially, the notice lists an estimated total funding amount of $565,722, and both the award ceiling and award floor are the same ($565,722), reinforcing that NPS anticipated exactly one award in that exact amount. The expected number of awards is one. While the posting includes an eligibility field, it mainly reiterates that this is not open competition and serves only as public notice; it does not function like a normal competitive grant where eligibility rules matter for prospective applicants.
In terms of timing, the notice was posted and created on June 19, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 24, 2014, and an archive date of June 25, 2014. For notices of intent to award, these dates generally reflect the period during which the public can view the announcement and, in some cases, raise questions, rather than a window to submit applications.
For access issues or questions about the announcement itself, the listed contact is Patrick Reidy, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-5949, with an email contact indicated through NPS.

What is the project about?
The project concerns LiDAR and other geospatial data connected to Hurricane Sandy. The work is described as a modification to ongoing or planned efforts involving acquisition coordination, compilation, data management, and change analysis of geospatial datasets collected before and after Hurricane Sandy.
What kinds of activities are included in the project scope?
