Opportunity Summary:
The Quagga Mussel Wash Station Operations, Lake Mead National Recreation Area opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00349) is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to award funding through a cooperative agreement in the Natural Resources category. It was posted on September 10, 2014 and archived on September 17, 2014. The NPS indicates that it expects to make one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $179,994. No cost sharing or matching is required. Although the listing appears on Grants.gov, it is explicitly not a request for applications and does not have an application closing date because the agency is not seeking proposals from the public.
The purpose of the notice is to provide transparency that the NPS intends to fund a specific set of project activities without full and open competition. In other words, this is a sole-source style announcement meant to inform the public that the agency plans to proceed with a predetermined partner rather than run a competitive grant process. The identified instrument is a task agreement, specifically Task Agreement Number P14AC01675, to be carried out with the Nevada Department of Wildlife. The eligible applicant category shown is state governments, which aligns with the selected partner being a state wildlife agency.
The project itself, titled Quagga Mussel Wash Station Operations, focuses on operating wash stations at Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Wash station operations are commonly used as an invasive species prevention measure, especially for aquatic invasive mussels like quagga mussels, which can spread between water bodies by hitchhiking on boats and equipment. While the notice does not list detailed work elements, the title and context strongly indicate support for on-the-ground inspection and decontamination activities intended to reduce the risk of mussel introduction or spread within and beyond Lake Mead.
For access issues or questions about the announcement, the NPS provided a contact: Lilette Baltodano, Financial Agreements Officer, at 415-623-2251 or lilettebaltodano@nps.gov. The Grants.gov listing also references an additional information link directing readers to the public posting, reinforcing that the main function of the notice is public disclosure of the intended award rather than solicitation of new applications.
