Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award connected to the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area, focused on managing or providing water access to the islands and delivering public information about the Boston Harbor Islands. It is not a request for applications and it is not being competed openly. Instead, NPS is using the announcement to publicly document its plan to fund specific work under an existing cooperative relationship.
The funding vehicle is a Cooperative Agreement, and the planned award is structured as Task Agreement J1727100015 under an already-established Cooperative Agreement (H1727100008) with the Boston Harbor Island Alliance. In practical terms, that means NPS had an ongoing partnership mechanism in place and intended to issue a task under that mechanism to carry out the described activities, rather than soliciting proposals from multiple organizations through a standard competitive grant process.
The stated purpose of the project is twofold: (1) to support water access to the Boston Harbor Islands and (2) to support public information related to the islands. The listing classifies the activity category as "Other," clarified in the text as providing water access and public information. While the notice does not spell out detailed deliverables in the summary text provided, the core emphasis is on enabling the public to reach the islands (water transportation access and related coordination) and ensuring the public has accurate, accessible information about visiting and using the islands.
Financially, the announcement reports an estimated total funding amount of $44,000, with an award ceiling of $44,000 and an award floor of $44,000, indicating a single fixed planned amount. Only one award was expected. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, so the recipient would not be required to contribute matching funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), which aligns with the identified intended partner, the Boston Harbor Island Alliance. The opportunity was posted and created on September 17, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 22, 2010, and an archive date of September 23, 2010. Those dates reflect the public notice window for the intent-to-award announcement rather than an application period, since the notice explicitly states it is not soliciting applications.
For anyone needing access to the full announcement materials or having trouble retrieving the attachment referenced under the "Full Announcement" link, the contact listed is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476. The issuing agency is the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and the funding opportunity number is NPS 10 NERO 0054.
