Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior, Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Conversion and Maintenance of Electric Battery Hybrid Hydrogen Gas Fuel Cell Shuttle Buses." It is not a solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public disclosure that NPS planned to issue funding for specific project work through a non-competitive award under an existing cooperative agreement.
The funding vehicle is a Cooperative Agreement (Cooperative Agreement # P12AC30486) with the High Technology Development Corporation. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and is listed under the Natural Resources activity area, tied to CFDA 15.944 (Natural Resource Stewardship). The intent is to support project activities focused on converting and maintaining shuttle buses that use a hybrid propulsion approach involving electric battery systems and hydrogen gas fuel cells. While the announcement does not provide technical scope details beyond the title, the wording indicates two core deliverables: (1) conversion work to enable or improve hybrid hydrogen fuel cell and battery electric operation in shuttle bus platforms, and (2) ongoing maintenance support to keep those vehicles operational, safe, and reliable in service.
The award profile is for a single expected award, with a fixed amount listed as both the award ceiling and the award floor: $468,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated. Eligible applicants are identified as state governments, which aligns with the named partner organization and the cooperative agreement approach, but it is important to note that because this is a notice of intent to award and explicitly not open for competition, the eligibility field does not function like an open grant program; it mainly reflects standard cataloging information rather than an invitation for new applicants.
Key timeline information indicates the notice was posted and created on May 29, 2012, with an original and current closing date of May 30, 2012, and an archive date of June 29, 2012. The very short window between posting and closing is consistent with non-competitive intent-to-award announcements, where the purpose is public notice rather than collecting proposals.
For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact is Lilette Baltodano, Financial Agreements Officer, reachable by phone at 415-623-2251.
