Opportunity Summary:
The Vancouver National Historic Reserve Group Tour Program is a National Park Service notice of intent to make a single, noncompetitive cooperative agreement award under Department of the Interior policy (505 DM 2). The project focuses on the Vancouver National Historic Reserve in southwest Washington, a large, multi-site heritage destination that draws more than 1,000,000 visitors each year. Key locations within the Reserve include Fort Vancouver National Historic Site, Pearson Air Museum, Officers Row, and the Water Resources Education Center. Since 1996, the Reserve has been jointly supported by the City of Vancouver, the Historic Reserve Trust, and the National Park Service, with each partner owning and/or managing tourism-related venues and collaborating on planning, education programs, special events, and infrastructure improvements.
The central purpose of the award is to develop a structured Group Tour Plan to better meet and manage visitor demand for organized tours across the Reserve. The plan is intended to clearly define how the three partners will coordinate, including their respective roles and responsibilities in delivering group tour experiences. In practical terms, this type of plan would typically cover how tours are scheduled and routed across multiple sites, how visitor services and interpretation are coordinated, what staffing or volunteer roles each partner provides, how reservations and group communications are handled, and how consistent visitor experiences are maintained across venues that have different owners and operational needs.
This opportunity is categorized as a continuation and uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, meaning the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the work rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The activity category is listed as community development, reflecting that improved group tour operations can strengthen local tourism infrastructure and regional visitor economy, while supporting educational and cultural resource goals across the Reserve.
Funding for the project was relatively targeted and limited in scope, with an estimated total of $67,914. The anticipated award range ran from a floor of $60,000 to a ceiling of $75,000, and the program did not require cost sharing or matching funds. Only one award was expected. Eligibility is described as a single-source announcement, meaning the intended recipient was pre-identified and the award was not competed openly; the notice directs readers to the Notice of Intent for the specific eligibility details.
The funding opportunity number is NPS NOI FOVA FY11 J9430110001, and it was posted on December 2, 2010, with an application closing date of December 14, 2010 (the same date listed for both original and current closing). The archive date is January 13, 2011. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Sarah Welch, Contract Specialist, at 360-854-7220.
