Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity, titled "Assabet River Wild and Scenic River Conservation Plan Implementation" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 10 NERO 0077), is a National Park Service notice stating the agency's intent to make a funding award under an existing cooperative agreement rather than running an open competition. It is explicitly labeled as a NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD and not a request for applications, meaning outside organizations are not being invited to submit proposals. The notice mainly serves as public documentation that the NPS plans to proceed with a specific funding action tied to a previously established partnership.
The award is being issued by the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service, using a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. The work falls under the Environment activity category and is focused on implementing the Assabet River Wild and Scenic River Conservation Plan. The notice indicates the action is a modification (identified as modification 0001) to an existing cooperative agreement, numbered H4506090130, with the cooperator Organization for the Assabet River. In practical terms, this suggests the NPS is continuing or expanding an already-approved project scope with a known partner, instead of soliciting new applicants.
Funding details in the listing show an estimated total amount of $36,748, with a single expected award. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $25,355, which typically implies the federal share for the specific award action is fixed at that amount, while the larger estimated total funding figure may reflect combined project costs or related funding components. A cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated as yes, so the project is expected to include non-federal contributions (cash or in-kind support) consistent with the terms of the cooperative agreement.
Although the listing includes "eligible applicants" as 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), the key takeaway is that eligibility is not relevant for competitive submission here because the NPS is not seeking applications. The posting and creation dates are September 27, 2010, with an original and current closing date of October 1, 2010, and an archive date of October 2, 2010. Those dates function more like an administrative window for posting the notice rather than a true application period.
Anyone trying to review the formal details is directed to the attachment under the Full Announcement link (as referenced in the original posting). For access issues or administrative questions, the listed contact is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable at 215-597-6476.
