Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0180
The FY17 Facility Operational Maintenance notice (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 17 NERO 0180) is a National Park Service (Department of the Interior) public announcement stating the agency's intent to make an award, not to solicit applications. In other words, it is not an open competition or a call for proposals. Instead, NPS is signaling that it plans to issue a task agreement under an existing, previously justified single-source master cooperative agreement. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, the estimated award ceiling is $44,000, and the agency anticipates making one award. The notice was created on August 29, 2017, with an original closing date of September 7, 2017, which functions more as a public notice timeframe than an application deadline since proposals are not being requested.
The work described centers on keeping facility assets operational through routine, recurring, and unplanned maintenance support. The partner referenced in the notice is ATC, which is expected to provide staffing and on-the-ground coordination to help NPS maintain facilities, including work that may happen in offices and in remote field locations. A major focus is organizing the people and processes needed for day-to-day facility operations and maintenance, such as facility asset upkeep, water system operations, and hazard tree mitigation. The effort also emphasizes coordination with a network of stakeholders, including APPA and other federal, state, and local agencies, to identify needs, validate them, and prioritize what should be addressed first based on operational risk and urgency.
A key element of the scope is working directly with trail club volunteers. ATC is expected to collaborate with volunteer groups to surface maintenance needs, translate those needs into defined projects, and maintain comprehensive project lists that can be rolled into the NPS capital planning process. This indicates the work is not only about completing discrete maintenance tasks, but also about improving planning, documentation, and pipeline management so that facility needs are captured consistently and can be tracked within NPS systems.
The notice also lays out expectations for safety, environmental responsibility, and compliance. ATC must ensure that staff and volunteers receive safety skills training suited to the work being performed, and projects must be carried out using Leave-No-Trace principles. Before fieldwork begins, ATC must coordinate with the relevant land-management agency to ensure environmental and cultural resource compliance requirements are satisfied, and assist with gathering and documenting resource information where needed. This reflects the reality that maintenance work on public lands often triggers procedural requirements related to protected resources and site stewardship.
From a project management perspective, ATC is responsible for end-to-end oversight of the operational maintenance work as agreed upon by NPS. That includes planning and scheduling, field logistics, administrative support, supervision, recruitment, training, quality control, troubleshooting unexpected onsite issues, ensuring safety compliance, and reporting accomplishments. The notice requires an itemized work plan before work starts, in a mutually agreed format, including location details, dates, cost estimates, and the specific tasks to be performed. During execution, ATC must track spending and provide periodic financial reports, participate in facility management meetings with monthly updates, and provide additional updates as requested. ATC is also tasked with procuring materials, supplies, tools, and equipment needed for the work, while following NPS procurement policies.
Finally, the deliverables include an itemized completion report summarizing what was accomplished. That report must include site locations, work dates, quantitative outputs (for example, units of work completed), and associated costs. Across all activities, ATC must comply with applicable laws, regulations, and government policies, reinforcing that this maintenance support is carried out under federal standards for safety, procurement, resource protection, and accountability.Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0180
