Opportunity Summary:

The Tribal Cultural Monitoring in Support of Wawona Operations Center Projects opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00113) is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior notice of intent to award funding through a cooperative agreement. It is not an open solicitation and is not requesting applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that NPS intends to make an award without full and open competition for a specific set of project activities tied to work at the Wawona Operations Center.

The planned award is structured as Task Agreement P13AC00715 under an existing Cooperative Agreement (H8826100508) with the North Fork Rancheria, a federally recognized tribal government. The purpose is tribal cultural monitoring in connection with NPS projects at Wawona, which generally means having qualified tribal representatives involved in observing and advising during ground-disturbing or construction-related activities to help protect cultural resources, identify potential archaeological materials or culturally sensitive areas, and ensure that work proceeds in a manner consistent with cultural resources stewardship responsibilities.

From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, reflecting that NPS expects substantial involvement or collaboration in carrying out the work rather than simply issuing a standard grant with minimal federal participation. The funding activity category is listed under Information and Statistics and Natural Resources, and the associated CFDA number is 15.946 (Cultural Resources Management), which aligns with projects focused on protecting and managing cultural and historic resources.

The notice indicates that NPS anticipates making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $29,555. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Because this is a notice of intent rather than a competitive posting, the usual application deadlines do not apply; both the original and current closing dates state that it is not a request for applications. The notice was posted and created on July 2, 2013, and archived on July 5, 2013. Award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which commonly appears in records like this when a fixed amount is provided separately as the estimated total funding rather than being presented as a competitive range.

Eligibility is limited to Native American tribal governments that are federally recognized, but in practice the document makes clear the intended recipient is the North Fork Rancheria under the referenced cooperative agreement and task agreement. Anyone needing help obtaining the full announcement is directed to contact Lilette Baltodano at the National Park Service (phone 415-623-2251, email lilettebaltodano@nps.gov). The notice also references Grants.gov for additional information via the provided link.
