Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service intent to make a single, non-competitive award under Funding Opportunity Number P12AC301036, titled "Notice of Intent to Award NOT A REQUEST FOR APPLICATIONS." The key point is that it is not a solicitation and it is not open for competition. Instead, it serves as a public announcement that the agency plans to issue a continuation award through a cooperative agreement to one specifically identified recipient: the Columbia River Estuary Study Taskforce, described as a local council of governments. Because it is a single-source intent, other organizations are not being invited to apply and should not treat it like a standard grant opportunity.
The award is categorized as a continuation and will be made using a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the project activities compared with a standard grant. The activity area is Natural Resources, and the associated CFDA program listing is 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship. The expected number of awards is one, with an estimated total funding amount of $40,000. The funding level is fixed: the award ceiling is $40,000 and the award floor is also $40,000, meaning the planned award amount is exactly $40,000.
There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed for this action. While the system data lists "City or township governments" as eligible applicants, this field is largely informational here because the notice is explicitly directed to a single named recipient rather than a broad applicant pool. The notice was posted and created on July 26, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 2, 2012, and an archive date of September 1, 2012. In the context of a notice of intent, the "closing date" generally functions as an administrative date for the posting rather than a deadline for submitting applications, since applications are not being requested.
For anyone needing additional details beyond what is shown in the synopsis, the notice directs readers to consult the "Full Announcement" section in the posting. If there are problems accessing that full text electronically, the designated contact is Susan Velie, Financial Assistant Officer, at Olympic National Park, phone 360-565-3114.
