Opportunity Summary:
The opportunity titled "Tribal Cultural Monitoring in Support of the El Portal Sewer Rehabilitation Project" is a discretionary funding action announced by the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS). It is published as a Notice of Intent to Award, which means it is not a competitive grant solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, the purpose of the posting is to give the public formal notice that NPS plans to provide funding for a specific set of project activities through a predetermined recipient, without full and open competition.
This funding will be issued as a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance, such as coordinating work, providing oversight, or collaborating on scheduling and deliverables. The work is connected to the El Portal Sewer Rehabilitation Project, and the specific scope named in the notice is "tribal cultural monitoring." In practical terms, that generally refers to having qualified tribal representatives monitor ground-disturbing or construction-related activities to help protect cultural resources, identify potential cultural materials or sensitive areas, and support compliance with applicable cultural resource protection requirements during infrastructure work.
The notice identifies a single intended partner: the American Indian Council of Mariposa County, Inc. The award will be made under an existing master Cooperative Agreement (H8812043088), using a specific task agreement (P16AC01403). This structure signals that the relationship and overall framework were already established, and NPS is issuing a task-level funding action for this particular project rather than opening a new competition. The opportunity lists eligible applicants as Native American tribal organizations other than federally recognized tribal governments, aligning with the stated recipient type.
Key administrative details include the Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00452 and CFDA number 15.946, which is the assistance listing used to track the federal program category for reporting and transparency purposes. The posting date (creation date) is August 4, 2016. Because this is not an open solicitation, the "closing date" is effectively non-applicable and is explicitly stated as "THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR APPLICATIONS."
In terms of funding size and scale, the anticipated award ceiling is $47,706, and NPS expects to make one award. Taken together, the notice describes a small, targeted, single-recipient cooperative agreement action intended to support tribal cultural monitoring services specifically tied to the El Portal Sewer Rehabilitation Project, with NPS publicly documenting its intent to proceed with this non-competitive award.
