Opportunity Summary:
The "Restoration and Natural Resources Support at Fort Baker" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00191) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action focused on strengthening on-the-ground natural resource stewardship at Fort Baker, a site within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The work is designed to advance the natural and cultural resource objectives laid out for Fort Baker in the site Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS). In practical terms, the project centers on collaboration between the NPS and the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy (GGNPC) to keep restoration work moving forward while also building a stronger monitoring and project-support backbone for ongoing management needs.
The core activities described in the notice include native plant restoration and related implementation work, such as propagating native plants and installing them in priority areas to improve habitat quality and support the long-term health of the cultural landscape. Alongside planting, the partnership will conduct invasive plant removal to reduce competition and help restored native communities establish and persist. The effort also includes wildlife monitoring and broader biological monitoring, with an emphasis on biomonitoring tied to specific projects and events. That monitoring component is meant to provide feedback on how the landscape and wildlife are responding to management actions and use pressures, so the park can make informed adjustments over time. In addition to field work, the agreement anticipates general natural resources project support, which typically covers planning help, coordination, data collection and documentation, and other forms of technical or operational assistance that allow restoration and stewardship projects to be implemented effectively.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this is a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.944 (Natural Resource Stewardship) with an estimated total funding amount of $52,000. The stated award ceiling is $52,000 and the award floor is $32,000, and the notice indicates the NPS expected to make one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed. While the eligibility field mentions nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the most important practical detail is that this posting is not a request for applications. It is explicitly labeled as a "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD," meaning it was issued to provide public notice that the NPS intended to fund this project under an existing cooperative agreement with the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, rather than open it up for competitive applications.
The posting timeline reflects that intent-to-award purpose. It was posted and created on July 6, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 17, 2015, and an archive date of July 27, 2015. The expected outcome is continuity and progress: sustaining and expanding ongoing restoration and enhancement efforts at Fort Baker in a way that supports both the site cultural landscape and its natural resources, consistent with the goals identified in the FEIS. For access issues or questions about the announcement, the contact listed is Kristina Bliss, Agreements Officer, at 805-370-2321 or KristinaBliss@nps.gov.
