Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), an agency within the U.S. Department of the Interior, posted a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Remove Exotic Plants and Restore Coastal Sage Scrub Habitat" (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00110). This notice is strictly a public transparency announcement and not a call for proposals, meaning the NPS was not seeking applications, bids, or competing submissions from other organizations. Instead, the purpose of the posting was to document the NPS intent to fund a specific set of project activities through a non-competitive award mechanism.
The planned funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, categorized under discretionary funding with an activity focus in natural resources. The effort is associated with CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which aligns with field-based conservation work often carried out with youth or service corps crews. The NPS indicated it expected to make a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $37,960. No cost sharing or matching was required, and the award ceiling and floor were both listed as $0, which commonly appears in postings where the agency is not inviting applications and is simply publishing a notice rather than setting competitive funding limits.
The work was to be carried out under Task Agreement P14AC00491, issued under a broader Master Cooperative Agreement (P13AC00165) with the California Conservation Corps. In practical terms, that means the NPS intended to rely on an existing partnership vehicle and issue a task-level agreement for this specific project rather than run a full and open competition. The core project purpose, as stated in the title and description, is removal of exotic (non-native) plant species and restoration of coastal sage scrub habitat, a sensitive native plant community in coastal California that often requires active management to reduce invasive species pressure and support native vegetation recovery.
Eligibility was listed as state governments, which is consistent with the fact that the California Conservation Corps is a state entity and the intended recipient under the existing cooperative agreement framework. Key dates included a posted date and creation date of May 22, 2014, and an archive date of May 29, 2014. Both the original and current closing dates were explicitly marked "THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR APPLICATIONS," reinforcing that there was no application window because the award was intended to be made directly under the established agreement.
For anyone needing the full announcement details or having trouble accessing the notice online, the posting provided a contact point: William Nash, Contract Specialist, at 415-623-2262 or WilliamNash@nps.gov. The additional information link referenced Grants.gov, where the notice was publicly accessible at the time of posting.
