Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Physical and Programmatic Accessibility Evaluations of Fort Pulaski National Monument" (Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00090) is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement focused on improving accessibility for individuals with disabilities at Fort Pulaski National Monument. The central purpose of the project is to evaluate how accessible the park is, both in terms of its physical built environment and the way its programs, services, and operations function for visitors and employees. The NPS is aiming to identify barriers, document conditions, and develop cost information that can support future planning and corrective actions.
The project scope is framed around two main assessment tracks. First, it calls for physical accessibility evaluations of park assets and areas used by visitors and employees, specifically those locations identified by the park as priorities. This typically involves reviewing constructed features and facilities to determine whether access is hindered by design, condition, or missing elements. Second, the opportunity includes programmatic accessibility evaluations, meaning an assessment of non-structural barriers that may limit participation or equal access. Programmatic barriers can include the way information is provided, how services are delivered, or whether programs and experiences can be used by people with different types of disabilities.
Beyond field assessment work, the opportunity includes required documentation and planning support tasks. Findings are to be entered into the NPS Condition Assessment Portal, which is used to track asset condition and needs in a standardized format. In addition, the project requires cost estimating using the Cost Estimating Software System (CESS). In practical terms, this means the effort is not only about identifying issues, but also about translating those issues into actionable cost information that can feed into maintenance planning, accessibility upgrades, budgeting, and project prioritization.
Funding for the effort is listed as an estimated total of $48,000, with one expected award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in carrying out the project compared with a standard grant. The funding activity is categorized under "Other," with a clarification that the focus is accessibility for individuals with disabilities. The opportunity is associated with CFDA 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs related to resources of the National Park System.
Eligibility is described in general categories (including private institutions of higher education and 501(c)(3) nonprofits), but the notice makes it clear this posting is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice of the NPS intent to make an award without full and open competition under an existing cooperative agreement (P14AC00882) with the University of Tennessee. The University of Tennessee is identified as a partner under the Southern Appalachian Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, and the announcement is essentially documenting the agency's plan to fund that partner to carry out the accessibility evaluation work at Fort Pulaski.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on April 7, 2015, with an original and current closing date of April 15, 2015, and an archive date of May 7, 2015. The listed point of contact is Brian Straka (865-436-1217, brianstraka@nps.gov) for assistance accessing the full announcement.
