Opportunity Summary:
The "Restoration of Historic Vessel Juanita" opportunity (Funding Announcement Number P12AC11016) is a National Park Service notice of intent to award, meaning it is not open for competitive applications and is published only to inform the public that NPS plans to fund a specific partner without full and open competition. The agency intends to issue a new cooperative agreement for a total of $30,000, with no cost share required, for an anticipated performance period running from 8/8/2012 through 12/30/2013 (about one year). The funding is tied to CFDA 15.944 (Natural Resource Stewardship) and is issued under statutory authority 16 U.S.C. 1g, which allows NPS to transfer appropriated funds through cooperative agreements to support public-purpose NPS programs.
The intended recipient is the San Francisco Maritime National Park Association (SFMNPA), working in partnership with San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park (SAFR). The justification for a single-source award is based on an existing, long-standing cooperative relationship (referenced cooperative agreement number H8520080016) and SFMNPA's specialized qualifications. NPS cites SFMNPA's decades-long history (over 60 years) in preserving historic ships and maritime collections, producing exhibits, maintaining archives, and delivering educational programming. In NPS's view, that combination of preservation expertise, museum-collection experience, and ability to support hands-on historic vessel work makes SFMNPA uniquely suited to assist park staff with restoring the Juanita, also known as EVA B, which is part of the park's museum collection.
The project itself focuses on restoring the historic small craft Juanita to seaworthy condition using traditional boatbuilding practices, while also making the work visible and meaningful to visitors. Juanita was built in 1937 as a Monterey-type recreational vessel for the Batchelder Family. During restoration, the vessel is located in the Boat Shop on Hyde Street Pier, where the ongoing work is intentionally on display for public viewing. Once restoration is complete, the plan is for Juanita to join other historic small craft exhibited on the water at the Small Craft docks, supporting the park's broader mission to preserve and interpret the maritime heritage of seafaring Americans, particularly on the Pacific Coast, and to teach traditional maritime trades.
The cooperative agreement structure emphasizes joint participation rather than a simple vendor-style contract. SFMNPA is expected to provide one qualified small craft museum technician or historic boat builder (with expertise comparable to a GS-11 Museum Technician, Small Craft) to perform hands-on restoration work in coordination with the park. SFMNPA must coordinate schedules with SAFR, collaborate with park staff and volunteers either as a team or on individual assignments, and follow NPS safety and hazardous materials handling requirements (specifically mentioning oil-based primer, linseed oil, and borate wood preservative). Administrative expectations include adhering to a work schedule established in the first week and submitting a monthly status report on the 30th that summarizes work performed, remaining fund balance, and estimated labor hours still available.
On the NPS/SAFR side, the park commits to integrating the SFMNPA employee into the Juanita restoration team under the direction of the SAFR Small Craft Curator, who serves as project lead. SAFR will set priorities, assign tasks, and review completed work for quality and completeness, while also providing technical oversight and any needed training (including safety, hazardous materials procedures, and interpretive guidance). SAFR will supply access to the vessel and the small boat workshop, as well as tools, equipment, materials, and personal protective equipment. The park also plans to include the SFMNPA participant in related Small Boat Shop activities during the agreement term, such as small craft sails, interpretive programs, and workshops, reinforcing the public-facing educational component of the restoration.
Key administrative details in the announcement include an expected single award of exactly $30,000 (award floor and ceiling both listed as $30,000), a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, and eligibility restricted solely to SFMNPA because it is a notice of intent to award rather than an open solicitation. The announcement lists Bill Doll as the NPS point of contact for the project and provides an additional contact for access issues: Erica Cordeiro, Contract Specialist (415-561-7048).
