Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity, titled "Restoration and Education Projects on and Near Units of the National Park Service on the Clatsop Plains" (Funding Opportunity Number A9420090110), is a National Park Service (NPS) notice announcing its intent to make a single cooperative agreement award rather than a normal, open grant competition. The announcement is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that NPS plans to fund specific project activities on a noncompetitive basis under Department of the Interior policy (505 DM), using a "Notice of Intent to Award" justified by unique qualifications.
The work described centers on stewardship, restoration, and education efforts connected to Lewis and Clark National Historical Park and nearby partner lands located on the Clatsop Plains in Oregon. The legal basis cited is 16 U.S.C. 1j, which allows NPS to enter into cooperative agreements that benefit natural and cultural resources both inside and outside formal NPS boundaries. A key point in the justification is that, to create mutual benefit, the agreement should include lands adjacent to or near NPS-managed areas, not just lands within the park itself.
NPS identifies the North Coast Land Conservancy (NCLC) as the intended recipient because of its particular role on the Clatsop Plains. According to the notice, NCLC is the largest private conservation landowner in that landscape, and its conserved lands are the closest private conservation properties to the NPS units involved. The announcement also emphasizes that NCLC is uniquely positioned as the only organization in the area providing a broad range of conservation services, including planning and habitat enhancement, that can be applied across multiple neighboring jurisdictions. Those neighboring public lands include properties managed by Oregon State Parks and the Oregon Department of the Military, both of which directly border NPS lands on the Clatsop Plains. In practical terms, the NPS rationale is that restoration and education outcomes depend on coordinated work across boundaries, and NCLC is presented as the partner already operating at that scale.
Funding details in the source data indicate an expected single award, with NPS providing $35,000 in federal funding (the estimated total federal funding, as well as the award ceiling and floor, are all listed as $35,000). The overall project budget is described as $65,000 total, with cost sharing required. NCLC is expected to contribute about 46 percent of the total project cost, estimated at $30,000, made up of $25,000 in matching funds plus $5,000 in in-kind services. The activity category is environmental, and the CFDA listing included is 15.921 (Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance). The posting date is August 18, 2009, with an original and current closing date of August 28, 2009, and an archive date of September 27, 2009, reflecting that this was a time-bounded public notice rather than an open call for proposals.
Eligibility is effectively limited to NCLC as stated in the announcement, and the agency name listed is the National Park Service. For administrative questions or trouble accessing the full announcement, the contact provided is Rodney Roberson, Contract Specialist/Agreements Officer, at 360-565-3024.
