Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Colonial National Historic Park Provide Public Transportation" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 11 NERO 0025), is a National Park Service (NPS) notice stating the agency's intent to make a specific award rather than solicit applications from the public. It is explicitly labeled as a NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD and "NOT A REQUEST FOR APPLICATIONS," meaning there is no open competition and no opportunity for new applicants to apply for this funding through a standard grant application process.
The NPS indicates it will fund project activities related to public transportation at Colonial National Historic Park by issuing Task Agreement J429011C639 under an existing Cooperative Agreement (H4290090639) with the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. In practical terms, this means the work is being carried out within a pre-established partnership framework, and the announcement is primarily meant to provide public transparency that federal funds will be awarded without full and open competition.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically reflects substantial involvement by the federal agency in the funded work compared with a standard grant. The activity category is transportation, and the opportunity is listed under discretionary funding. The eligible applicant category shown is nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), which aligns with the named partner organization. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Financially, the listing shows an estimated total funding amount of $97,870, and both the award ceiling and floor are also $97,870, signaling a single, fixed award amount. The announcement anticipates one award in total. Key dates indicate the opportunity was posted on February 1, 2011, with an original and current closing date of February 6, 2011, and an archive date of February 7, 2011, reflecting its function as a time-bound public notice rather than an open application window.
For anyone trying to locate full details, the announcement directs readers to the attachment under the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov. For access issues or questions about the notice itself, the listed point of contact is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
