Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00581
The Cooperative Sewer System Management with Sausalito-Marin City Sanitary District opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00581) is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement intended to strengthen how the NPS manages and operates its sewer collection system in southern Marin County, California. The basic idea is to formalize and fund a working partnership with the Sausalito-Marin City Sanitary District (SMCSD), the local public agency that already provides sanitary sewage treatment to the NPS and NPS tenants in the area. Through this agreement, SMCSD would supply skilled technical assistance and an emergency mutual-aid-style response capability, giving the NPS access to experienced wastewater professionals and rapid support when operational issues or failures occur.
The project is closely tied to the unique geography and infrastructure history of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. SMCSDs wastewater treatment plant sits on federal land that was once managed by the U.S. Army and is now administered by the NPS as part of the recreation area. In practical terms, this means the NPS has ongoing wastewater collection needs on its lands, while the treatment capacity and day-to-day expertise largely reside with the local district that is legally authorized to provide those services. The notice emphasizes that SMCSD is the sole utility provider authorized by the State of California to provide sanitary sewer treatment services to customers in the City of Sausalito and parts of unincorporated Marin County, including NPS lands. That exclusive authorization is a key reason the NPS is positioning the effort as a cooperative arrangement with a specific local partner rather than a broadly competed solicitation.
Administratively, this listing is categorized as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement instrument, under the funding activity category of natural resources, and tied to CFDA number 15.954. The only eligible applicant type shown is city or township governments, which aligns with SMCSD being a local government agency. The announcement also makes clear that it is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as public notice of the NPS intention to award financial assistance for the described project activity, meaning the NPS is signaling an intended award rather than inviting new proposals from multiple applicants.
In terms of scale and timing, the opportunity shows an award ceiling of $400,000 with an expectation of one award. The posting was created on September 12, 2018, with an original closing date of September 25, 2018, reflecting the limited notice window typical of an intended sole-partner cooperative agreement announcement. Overall, the effort is framed around improving reliability, readiness, and operational oversight of the NPS sewer collection system by leveraging SMCSDs specialized capability, established service role, and ability to provide emergency response support in the same service area where NPS facilities and tenants generate wastewater.Apply for P18AS00581
