About this opportunity

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: J9840100196 Project Title: Volume Change of Glaciers in Alaska’s National Parks Recipient: University of Alaska Fairbanks Principle Investigator: Andrew Seitz Total Anticipated Award Amount: $221,107 Cost Share: N/A New Award Or Continuation: New CESU Anticipated Length of Agreement: 2 ½ Years Anticipated Period of Performance: September 1, 2010 – May 31, 2013 Award Instrument: Cooperative Agreement/CESU Statutory Authority: 16 §1(g): The National Park Service may in fiscal year 1997 and thereafter enter into cooperative agreements that involve the transfer of National Park Service appropriated funds to State, local and tribal governments, other public entities, educational institutions, and private nonprofit organizations for the public purpose of carrying out National Park Service programs pursuant to section 6305 of title 31 to carry out public purposes of National Park Service programs. CFDA# and 0.00 Not Elsewhere Classified Single Source Justification Criteria Sited: BACKGROUND: This new project consists of analyzing LIDAR altimetry data to matriculate a best available digital elevation model for individual glaciers in NPS parks. From this model, the parameters of each glacier will be extracted. This glacier mapping effort will be completed for two timeframes 1950s and early 2000s. This glacier extent mapping effort across all Alaska NPS units is a new undertaking. 1) 505 DM 2 Single Source - Only one responsible source will satisfy agency requirements. • Identify the source and explain why specifically competition is not practical. Dr. Chris Larsen, Research Professor University of Alaska Fairbanks [email protected] 401 E, Geophysical Institute 903 Koyukuk Drive Phone: 907- 474-5333 PO Box 757320 Fax: 907-474-7290 Fairbanks AK 99775-7320 This project provides for the mapping of the glacier extent boundaries across all National Park Units in Alaska for two time periods – 1950s and 2000s. Upon completion of this glacier extent mapping effort, the best available digital elevation models will be utilized in combination with the glacier extent mapping shapefiles to extract individual glacier boundaries and a suite of terrain and topographic characteristics that define unique features of each individual glacier. Competition for this project is not practical because Dr. Larsen and his research associates will utilize recently invented modeling algorithms to determine glacial volume based on laser altimetry. In addition Dr. Larsen and his research associates have vast experience with glacier research world-wide and in particular, with Alaska glacier systems/environments that will enable this group to effectively address unique glacier challenges that will be encountered during this project. Dr. Larsen also has access to student work associates that will perform the extensive manual editing of the glacier extent shapefiles in areas of debris cover – this is a cost effective means of addressing this significant work component of this project. Additionally, being at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, Geophysical Institute, Dr. Larsen has immediate access to numerous types of remote sensing data that will enhance his and his research associates ability’s to complete this glacier mapping project on schedule and within the budget. 2) Nature and description of the deliverable required to meet the agency’s needs: • Description of the deliverables and the required delivery schedule.
