Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00069
This funding notice from the Department of the Interior, National Park Service describes support for an ongoing Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping program at Joshua Tree National Park. The central purpose is to keep building on a mapping effort that already produces practical, day-to-day working maps used by the park to plan projects, manage resources, and respond to operational needs. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources activity category (CFDA 15.931), and the eligible applicant type listed is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (not an institution of higher education). The notice is dated May 22, 2019, with an award ceiling of $294,981. It is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award and not a request for applications, meaning it serves as public notification that the National Park Service plans to fund the work under an existing cooperative agreement (referenced as being with GBI), rather than soliciting competitive proposals. As a result, it lists expected awards as zero because it is not open for new applicants.
The project’s objectives focus on using GIS to support compliance, planning, and impact analysis for park projects that could affect sensitive natural and cultural resources. A major deliverable is creating clear project documentation that defines and communicates Areas of Potential Effect, disturbance limits, and construction footprints, which are key elements for cultural resource protection and endangered species compliance. The work also involves integrating engineering drawings and other project documents with spatial resource data so the park can see where planned work overlaps with protected habitats, archaeological sites, historic features, or other important resources, and then document the likely effects.
Beyond basic mapping overlays, the opportunity emphasizes GIS-based modeling and scenario development to help park staff compare options and alternatives for proposed work. That includes analyzing how different project designs or locations might reduce or increase potential degradation of natural and cultural resources. In practical terms, this can mean generating maps and spatial analyses that highlight risk areas, predict where impacts could occur, and support decision-making before ground disturbance happens.
A significant portion of the work is also ongoing GIS program maintenance and operational support. The project includes keeping the park’s GIS database current by managing software and datasets (including shapefiles), ensuring required licenses, certifications, and system readiness are maintained, and producing cartographic products used for routine and urgent needs. Examples named in the notice include map products supporting Special Use Permits and research permits, as well as maps used during search and rescue incidents, where accurate and up-to-date spatial information can be time critical.
The notice further calls for developing new GIS databases and layers to fill specific park needs. One example is creating a directional sign GIS layer that includes photographs, which can help with asset management, visitor wayfinding, and maintenance planning. Additional tasks include assisting with long-term facility enhancement planning at the Cottonwood area, supporting definition or refinement of Wilderness boundaries, and contributing mapping support for fencing projects. All of these activities are intended to be coordinated with relevant park divisions, reflecting that the GIS program functions as a cross-cutting service that supports multiple operational teams. Finally, the project includes assistance with the layout and production of publications that involve maps, indicating that part of the role is not only analysis but also clear presentation and communication of geographic information to staff and potentially the public.Apply for P19AS00069
