Opportunity Summary:
The "Sloop Yacht Kathleen Documentation Drawings" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00195) is a National Park Service (NPS) notice stating the agencys intent to make a single award without full and open competition. It is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that NPS plans to fund a specific set of project activities as a continuation task under an existing cooperative agreement with a named partner organization.
The planned recipient is the Council of American Maritime Museums (CAMM), with Paul Fontenoy listed as the principal investigator/program manager. The anticipated federal funding amount is $35,500, with no cost share or matching requirement. The award is structured as a Task Agreement (referenced as P13AC01139) under an overarching Cooperative Agreement (P13AC00081). The anticipated period of performance runs from the date of award through 09/30/2014. The assistance listing is tied to CFDA 15.946, described here as Cultural Resources Services/Cultural Resources Management, and the funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, meaning NPS expects to be substantially involved in the work rather than simply providing funds and stepping back.
The purpose of the project is to document the historic Sloop Yacht Kathleen, located in San Francisco, California, by producing documentation and "as-built" drawings. A key deliverable is documentation prepared to Historic American Engineering Record (HAER) standards, with NPS supporting CAMM in converting reports, drawings, and photographs into a formal documentation package intended for submission to the HABS/HAER/HALS collections at the Library of Congress. The project also includes a stewardship component: CAMM is expected to provide 2 to 4 individuals with historic small-craft expertise to participate in a workshop focused on determining the best path forward for stewardship of the Kathleen. Public and professional dissemination is part of the plan as well, including a presentation at the annual CAMM conference and additional outreach through CAMMs Facebook page.
The announcement lays out roles on both sides. CAMM is responsible for assembling and providing the documentation team, producing the drawings and documentation, bringing in subject-matter experts for the stewardship workshop, and coordinating closely with NPS to ensure the final products meet HAER standards. NPS, in turn, will define project goals, provide direction and collaboration throughout the work, arrange and fund travel needed to complete the on-site objectives, organize and participate in the stewardship workshop, ensure that the CAMM team follows applicable OSHA safety measures while on site, and review/edit the materials produced by CAMM.
Competition is not being pursued because NPS cites a single-source justification under the Department of the Interior single source policy (505 DM 2), specifically the "Continuation" criterion. In practical terms, the agency is treating this as a continuation of ongoing work already being conducted under the existing cooperative agreement with CAMM, and argues that competing it would adversely affect continuity or completion. Statutory authority is cited under 16 U.S.C. 1g and 16 U.S.C. 470 (National Historic Preservation Act provisions), emphasizing the federal role in accelerating historic preservation efforts and encouraging preservation partnerships through cooperative agreements.
Key administrative details included in the posting are: one expected award, an estimated total funding amount equal to the ceiling of $35,500 (award floor listed as $1), and eligible applicant type noted broadly as 501(c)(3) nonprofits (even though this specific notice is tied to an intended recipient and not open for competition). The posting date is August 12, 2013, with an original/current closing date of August 26, 2013, reflecting the public notice window rather than an application deadline. The NPS point of contact is June Zastrow (303-987-6718; JuneZastrow@nps.gov).
