Opportunity Summary:
The "Alternative Transportation Pilot Shuttle Project - Year 4, Valley Forge National Historical Park" is a National Park Service (NPS) grant notice published by the U.S. Department of the Interior to publicly document its intent to make a single award for continued work on a visitor transportation shuttle pilot at Valley Forge National Historical Park. This posting is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award, not a request for applications, meaning the NPS is not soliciting proposals from the public and there is no competitive application process tied to this announcement.
The award is planned as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in project execution, coordination, or oversight rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The NPS states it will fund project activities through Task Agreement P12AC10166 under an existing cooperative agreement (H4860080008) with the Greater Valley Forge Transportation Management Association. In practical terms, this means the work is being continued or extended through an established partnership vehicle rather than being competed as a new standalone grant.
The purpose of the funded work is described as a pilot program to test a transportation shuttle for park visitors. While the notice itself provides only a short description, the funding activity category clarifies that the focus is on evaluating or operating an alternative transportation shuttle service within the park context. These kinds of projects are commonly aimed at improving visitor access, reducing congestion and parking pressure, enhancing safety, and potentially lowering vehicle emissions by encouraging shared transportation within high-visit areas.
Funding details are very specific: the estimated total funding is $185,013, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $185,013, signaling an intended fixed award amount for the single anticipated recipient. The announcement lists one expected award and states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), aligning with the named partner organization. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary, and the CFDA number is shown as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which in postings like this generally functions as a placeholder rather than linking to a standard, widely used program CFDA listing.
In terms of timing and status, the opportunity was posted on March 7, 2012, with an original and current closing date of March 13, 2012, and it was archived on March 14, 2012. Even though a closing date is shown, it does not imply a normal application window, since the notice is not open for competition; instead, the dates reflect the public posting period for transparency. Anyone needing the complete details is directed to the attachment under the full announcement link, and technical help is offered through a named NPS contact, Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist, at 215-597-6476, particularly for those who cannot access the announcement electronically.
