Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a public statement from the National Park Service (NPS) that it intends to make a single cooperative agreement award to a specific Michigan state entity, rather than opening a competition. In other words, it is not a call for applications or proposals. The intended recipient is The Center for Shared Solutions and Technology Partnerships within Michigan's Department of Technology, Management and Budget. The project is focused on supporting Michigan, along with Leelanau and Benzie counties, in capturing new aerial photography that can be used as modern geospatial imagery.
The core purpose of the planned award is to generate and share high-quality aerial imagery and related geospatial data that will serve multiple public needs. The resulting datasets are expected to help with transportation planning and maintenance, emergency response and public safety services, community and land-use development, agricultural planning and monitoring, and broader environmental and natural resource management. A key deliverable mentioned in the notice is public accessibility: the imagery and geospatial products are intended to be made available online through publicly accessible map services, allowing agencies and the public to view and use the information without specialized access.
NPS describes its role as both beneficial and necessary to the success of the effort. The agency frames the arrangement as a resource-pooling partnership where federal, state, and county participants coordinate to reach shared goals more efficiently than they could alone. Specifically, NPS indicates it will provide logistical support for ground-based operations that are required to carry out the aerial image capture. Beyond logistics, NPS will also contribute to project scheduling by advising on timing based on phenology requirements, meaning the project must be conducted at a time of year when vegetation and landscape conditions meet certain criteria (for example, leaf-off versus leaf-on conditions) to ensure the imagery is suitable for the intended mapping and analysis uses.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number E12AC000221 and is categorized as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, which typically implies substantial involvement by the federal agency during performance (consistent with the described NPS logistical and timing support). It falls under the Information and Statistics activity category and references CFDA 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship. The notice anticipates one award with a total estimated funding amount of $42,000, and the award ceiling and floor are both set at $42,000, indicating a fixed intended award amount. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement identified. Eligibility is limited to state governments, aligning with the fact that the recipient is a Michigan state department unit.
Key dates in the listing show it was posted and created on March 20, 2012, with a closing date of March 30, 2012, and an archive date of April 29, 2012. Even though a closing date is provided, the text makes clear this is simply a notice of intent to award rather than an open solicitation. For access issues or additional assistance, the contact listed is Penny Russell, Lead Grants and Agreements Officer for the NPS Midwest Region, with a phone number provided (402-661-1662).
