Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), part of the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Document Carriage Road System for NPS Cultural Landscape." This notice is informational rather than competitive, meaning it is not a request for applications and is not inviting proposals from the public. Instead, it serves as public notice that NPS plans to enter into a specific cooperative agreement for defined project work without full and open competition, using a task agreement (P12AC10822) under an existing cooperative agreement vehicle (H4503090700).
The opportunity is categorized as a discretionary award and will be issued as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in the project activities (as opposed to a standard grant where the recipient carries out the work more independently). The activity categories listed are education and environment, and the funding is associated with CFDA number 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System. The project title and the contact reference ("CESU Carriage Road for Acadia") indicate the work is tied to documenting a carriage road system as part of an NPS cultural landscape effort, likely involving research, documentation, and related technical or educational outputs that support stewardship of historically significant landscape features.
NPS anticipated making a single award under this notice, with total funding set at $26,500. The funding amount is fixed, with the award ceiling and floor both listed as $26,500, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The eligible applicant category is public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and the intended cooperator identified in the notice is The Research Foundation for the State University of New York. In practical terms, that means the agency had already selected its partner institution under this cooperative framework and published the notice to document the intent and provide transparency about the non-competitive selection.
The posting date and creation date are July 2, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 7, 2012, and an archive date of July 8, 2012. Those dates reinforce that the announcement functioned mainly as a short-lived public notice rather than an application window. For parties seeking more detail, NPS directed readers to the attachment under the "Full Announcement" section and provided a point of contact for access issues: Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-0056.
