Cooperative Agreement for Essential Facilities for Park Administration and Visitor Use

The National Park Service (NPS) intends to award a cooperative agreement to Yosemite Management Group, LLC, for the project titled "Cooperative Agreement for Essential Facilities for Park Administration and Visitor Use". The project aims to provide office space in Mariposa, California, for park administration and visitor use outside of Yosemite National Park. The agreement will allow for the relocation of certain functions and positions from within the park, reducing the need for administrative office space within Yosemite National Park and helping to reduce traffic congestion. The recipient will provide the necessary facilities and cooperate with NPS to facilitate the use of the space. The project will benefit the public by allowing for continuity in park administration and visitor use. Key responsibilities of the recipient include carrying out the statement of work, providing space, assigning a key point of contact, paying property taxes, and maintaining the building and surrounding landscape. Some key points of this opportunity include: • The cooperative agreement will be for a period of 5 years, from February 1, 2020, to January 31, 2025. • The estimated funding for the project is between $105,968 and $794,760. • The recipient will be responsible for providing space and logistical support, while NPS will provide financial assistance and monitor the project's performance. • The project is intended to support the NPS's goals and objectives, including providing continuity in park administration and visitor use, and reducing traffic congestion within Yosemite National Park.
