Opportunity Summary:
This funding notice, titled "Recovery Act - Remove Exotic Plants, GWMP 154799, TASA 14 1035" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS ARRAGWMP33001000128), is a National Park Service (NPS) announcement describing its intent to make a single award for work at the George Washington Memorial Parkway in the Great Falls, Virginia area. The core purpose of the project is invasive or exotic plant removal, a landscaping-related conservation activity that aligns with NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services). The announcement is explicitly labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award," meaning it is not a competitive solicitation and not a request for applications; it is being posted to publicly document that NPS plans to fund a specific project activity.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply issuing funds (for example, coordination on methods, priorities, reporting, scheduling, and compliance). The funding is provided under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), commonly referred to as the Recovery Act. Because it uses ARRA funding, the project is subject to the enhanced reporting and transparency requirements associated with Recovery Act spending, such as tracking how funds are used and documenting project outcomes.
Only one award is expected, and the funding amount is fixed: both the award ceiling and award floor are listed as $97,365, indicating NPS anticipated an award at that exact level rather than a range of possible amounts. Cost sharing or matching is required, which means the recipient is expected to contribute some portion of the project resources (cash and/or in-kind contributions), consistent with the specific terms of the cooperative agreement.
Eligibility for this notice is limited and specific. While the general eligibility field is listed as "Others," the eligibility information clarifies that the intended recipient is the Student Conservation Association. The associated CFDA number is 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which signals that the project is positioned not only as land management work but also as a youth conservation engagement activity consistent with that federal assistance program.
Key timeline details show the notice was posted and created on April 22, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 2, 2010, and an archive date of June 1, 2010. In practical terms, since this is not a request for applications, those dates function more as a public posting window rather than a period in which applicants could compete for funding.
For administrative questions or help accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Rita Oliver, Contract Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 301-432-7890 or by email at ritaoliver@nps.gov.
