Opportunity Summary:
The Washington Conservation Corps NOCA/MORA/OLYM Work opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) funding action under the U.S. Department of the Interior that is being issued as a single-source, noncompetitive cooperative agreement. The intent is to fund conservation and maintenance work primarily related to campground rehabilitation and trail projects in several Washington national parks, with North Cascades National Park initially serving as the lead park for the agreement. This announcement functions as public notice of NPS intent to make an award without full and open competition, rather than a call for proposals.
The award is directed specifically to the State of Washington, Department of Ecology, Washington Conservation Corps (WCC), based in Olympia, Washington. NPS cites Department of the Interior policy (505 DM 2) as the basis for the noncompetitive approach, emphasizing WCCs unique qualifications. Those qualifications include their proximity to the project locations, capacity to organize and support volunteer or crew-based field work, ability to share costs (at least for some of the work), technical expertise in conservation and trail operations, and other factors described in the underlying justification materials.
Structurally, NPS planned a nine-month cooperative agreement, with individual Task Agreements issued under it to cover specific units of work such as campground rehabilitation and trail-related maintenance. The initial effort referenced an estimated value of about $50,000, with all work scheduled to occur during calendar year 2010 and with WCC indicating matching funds would be available for those projects. The notice was later modified to add additional work at Olympic National Park (Port Angeles, WA) and Mount Rainier National Park (Ashford, WA). For these added components, Olympic and Mount Rainier anticipated combined requirements totaling roughly $250,000 for general trail rehabilitation and maintenance, and NPS noted that matching funds were not expected for the additional work.
In grants.gov terms, this is categorized as a discretionary opportunity using a Cooperative Agreement instrument, within the Natural Resources activity category. It anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) and is tied to CFDA 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations. Eligibility is limited to state governments, consistent with the intended recipient being a Washington state entity. Funding details in the posting include an estimated total funding figure of $50,000, while also listing an award ceiling up to $300,000 (reflecting the possibility of additional tasking under the agreement) and an award floor of $1.
Several key administrative dates appear in the listing: it was posted March 18, 2010, had an original closing date of April 2, 2010, a revised closing date of April 19, 2010, and an archive date of May 2, 2010. Importantly, the closing dates do not indicate a competitive application window in the normal sense, because the announcement explicitly states it is not a request for applications and that the action remains a single-source award to a known recipient.
For access issues with the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Barry Fetzer, Contract Specialist/Contracting Officer at North Cascades National Park, reachable by phone at 360-854-7219, and the public listing points to grants.gov for the official posting and related documents.
