Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service announced a cooperative agreement task arrangement to support the next phase of exhibit and interpretive retail planning for the William Penn Mott Presidio Visitor Center, a new visitor facility planned for historic Building 201 (the former Provost Office) on the north side of the parade ground in the Main Post of the Presidio of San Francisco. The visitor center was scheduled to open in summer 2016 to align with the National Park Service Centennial, and it is framed as a joint effort among three partners: the National Park Service (NPS), the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy (GGNPC), and the Presidio Trust.
The core purpose of the project is to build a visitor center that works as a primary gateway to the Presidio. In practical terms, the facility is intended to welcome and orient visitors, help people plan trips and choose activities, serve as a starting point for tours and visitor programs, and provide a community gathering space for both tourists and local residents. The planned exhibits and integrated interpretive retail components are designed to communicate the Presidio's significance and wide-ranging stories, while also directing visitors to other places and partner sites where related themes can be explored in more detail. A secondary role of the center is to welcome people to the broader Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) and help connect the Presidio experience to the larger set of NPS resources in the region.
This funding notice focuses on a very specific slice of the overall project timeline. According to the announcement, the conceptual and schematic exhibit design work was already nearing completion. The task agreement covered by this opportunity is meant to fund the next steps: Design Development and Construction Document packages for the exhibits and retail fixtures. These deliverables are the detailed plans and specifications needed so that NPS can later procure and contract separately for fabrication and installation. In other words, this award supports finalizing the designs and producing build-ready documentation, but it does not include the actual fabrication work, which would be handled through a separate contracting action.
Administratively, this opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00007) was issued as a discretionary funding announcement by NPS, using a Cooperative Agreement instrument. It was posted on November 24, 2014, with a closing date of December 8, 2014, and it carried a clear "Notice of Intent to Award" message. That wording matters because it indicates the announcement was not soliciting open competition or new applications; it was published to provide public notice that NPS planned to fund the described work under an existing cooperative agreement with the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy. The listing anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $250,000 and an award ceiling of $250,000 (effectively meaning up to the full amount could be awarded), and it specified that no cost sharing or matching was required.
Eligibility, as listed, applied to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), which aligns with the Conservancy's nonprofit role as a long-standing park partner. The program was associated with CFDA number 15.954, labeled as National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education, and categorized under an "Other" funding activity description tied to an exhibit design partnership involving GGNPC, Golden Gate National Recreation Area stakeholders, and the Presidio Trust.
For those seeking official documentation or record details, the announcement referenced Grants.gov as the source and provided an NPS contact for access issues: Kristina Bliss, Agreements, at 805-370-2321 and kristinabliss@nps.gov.
