Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity is part of the National Park Service effort under the RECOVERY (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, or ARRA) Restore Elwha River Ecosystems and Fisheries Program, focused specifically on building out a wastewater collection and transport system. The announcement (Funding Opportunity Number A2011101299) is tied to construction work commonly associated with NAICS 237110 (water and sewer line and related structures construction) and is connected to NPS project identifiers OLYM 005375 and TAS 14 1041. Because the funding comes through ARRA, the project is explicitly subject to Recovery Act reporting requirements, meaning the recipient would have to comply with the transparency and reporting expectations that applied to stimulus-funded projects.
The notice makes clear that it is informational rather than a competitive solicitation. The National Park Service planned to issue a task agreement under an already-existing cooperative agreement with the City of Port Angeles, Washington. In other words, there was no open competition and no general applicant pool; the work was intended to be awarded as a sole-source action to the City of Port Angeles. The opportunity listing reflects that reality by identifying eligibility as sole source to the City and showing an expected award count of one. It also indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
The core scope described is the design and construction of a new dedicated storm drainage facility within the City of Port Angeles. This piece is presented as one component of a larger wastewater collection and transport system construction effort, but it is separated out because it replaces a different, more expensive approach that had been contemplated earlier. Instead of the National Park Service constructing a separate wastewater storage facility for the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, the plan is to connect the Tribe's wastewater system to the City of Port Angeles wastewater system. To make that connection workable and to address the operational need that had driven the original storage requirement, the parties agreed to pursue the storm drainage facility alternative.
A specific engineering recommendation anchors the justification: a Brown and Caldwell report dated January 5, 2010 concluded that constructing a dedicated storm drainage facility on First Street, from Valley Street to Lincoln Street, was an acceptable and preferred alternative to the previously required wastewater storage. The National Park Service states it determined this alternative would deliver significant taxpayer savings by eliminating the need for the tribal wastewater storage facility that had been contemplated under the City-Tribe Wastewater Agreement, and substituting a less expensive measure (the storm drainage facility) instead. The announcement emphasizes that the City of Port Angeles, the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, and the National Park Service all supported this approach because it avoided a higher-cost facility while still meeting the underlying infrastructure and environmental management goals.
From an administrative standpoint, the listing reports an estimated total funding amount of $1,620,100 and categorizes the award as a cooperative agreement within a Recovery Act funding activity area. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.236 (Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management). Key dates in the public listing show it was posted May 4, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 5, 2010, and an archive date of June 4, 2010, which aligns with the fact that it was not designed as an open, long-running competition but rather as a public notice for a pre-identified award under an existing agreement. The contracting point of contact listed for access issues is Edward L. Tafoya, Contracting Officer (phone 303-969-2116).
