Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) posted a government grant opportunity titled "Preparing Canaveral National Seashore for the Future: Stabilizing Eroding Archeological Sites through the Use of Living Shoreline Techniques" under Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOI 14 57444. It was issued as a Notice of Intent (NOI), meaning it was not an open competition for new applicants, but a planned, non-competitive award issued under an existing cooperative framework. Specifically, the award was to be made as a Task Agreement under the Gulf Coast Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Master Cooperative Agreement (P12AC51051), following Department of the Interior guidance in 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which covers circumstances where a non-competitive (single source) award is appropriate.
The central purpose of the project is to address active coastal erosion threats impacting significant archeological sites within Canaveral National Seashore. These sites are being degraded by natural and human-influenced forces including storms, high-water events, and boat wakes. The work is intended to be cooperative in nature (consistent with the Cooperative Agreement instrument type) and focuses first on assessing existing conditions and the stability of affected archeological locations, then identifying and applying practical protection measures that are both low-cost and low-impact. For archeological sites that are considered viable for physical intervention, the project also includes constructing a "soft armor" living shoreline, a nature-based stabilization approach that typically relies on vegetation, natural materials, and shoreline habitat features rather than hard infrastructure like seawalls. The goal is to reduce wave energy and shoreline loss while maintaining ecological function and minimizing disturbance to sensitive cultural resources.
This opportunity falls under the Environment activity category and is associated with CFDA numbers 15.945 (Cooperative Research and Training Programs) and Resources of the National Park System. The NPS expected to make one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $45,000. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed. The award ceiling and floor were both shown as $0, which commonly indicates that the specific funding parameters are handled within the associated task agreement documentation rather than being expressed as a typical competitive grant range in the public notice.
Eligibility was not broadly open, and the announcement explicitly states it is not a request for applications. Instead, it was a single-source award to the University of Central Florida, meaning other organizations were not being invited to apply through this notice. The announcement was posted on September 8, 2014, with an original and current closing date of September 10, 2014, and it was archived on October 10, 2014. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact was Rose McClelland, Contracting Specialist, at 504-589-3882 or rosemcclelland@nps.gov.
