NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement: P11AT90326 Project Title: Ocean Acidification in Glacier Bay National Park & Preserve Recipient: University of Alaska Fairbanks Principle Investigator: Brendan Moynahan Total Anticipated Award Amount: $350,000 Cost Share: N/A New Award Or Continuation: New Anticipated Length of Agreement: 5 Year Anticipated Period of Performance: July 1, 2011 � June 30, 2016 Award Instrument: CESU Statutory Authority: Agreements Concerning Cooperative Research and Training on NPS Resources (16 � 1a-2(j)): The Secretary may enter into agreements with public or private educational institutions, States and their political subdivisions, for the purpose of developing research and training programs concerning the resources of the National Park System, and pursuant to such agreements, to accept from and make available to the cooperator such technical and support staff, financial assistance for mutually agreed upon research projects, supplies and administrative services relating to cooperative research units as the Secretary deems appropriate. CFDA Number: 15.945 JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION (or SINGLE SOURCE) FOR DISCRETIONARY COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS Ocean Acidification in Glacier Bay, Alaska BACKGROUND: This new project would initiate a study of ocean acidification in Glacier Bay, to be conducted in conjunction with the NPS oceanographic sampling. The project term will be 5 years. Year 1 of funding is made available with this modification; funding for years 2 and 3. Each year, the PI will deliver a detailed report and data to NPS, both of which will be made broadly available via web‐based distribution. This annual report will outline the major findings of all field work in the previous year and compare new results to historical datasets to better understand the local and regional trends in ocean acidification. Data collected from Glacier Bay will be evaluated in the contexts of both the local dynamics of this unique glacial fjord system, and its connection to larger waters and processes observed in other areas of the North Pacific. In addition to the technical annual project reports and final report, 2 key NPS‐centric deliverables would be produced. The first would be a brief (~2 page) issue and project summary suitable for distribution to nonscientists and the general public. The second would be a more detailed project summary article submitted to Alaska Park Science upon project completion. Though this scope of work is new, it is closely related to and cooperatively conducted with the on-going oceanographic sampling conducted by NPS in Glacier Bay. UAF, under another PI but within the same department, has been the technical lead on the establishment of that parent program. 1) 505 DM 2 Single Source - Only one responsible source will satisfy agency requirements. � Source: Ocean Acidification Research Center (OARC), School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences, University of Alaska � Fairbanks. � NPS requires expertise on the assessment of ocean acidification and related processes and sampling methods in general, and in particular, with an emphasis on the high-latitude systems of the north Pacific and Alaska. The OARC is the only such organization with the infrastructure to conduct this work. The expertise required is highly specialized, exceptionally technical, and is in no way suitable to go out to bid to any lab that has the lab equipment required to process samples. Results must be analyzed in the context of not only Glacier Bay, but also of the broader Gulf of Alaska system. Dr. Mathis, the PI on this study, is the Director of the OARC, has on-going related work across Alaska marine systems, and will personally oversee the execution of the project.
