Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior, intent to award funding for work connected to the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor, which is a designated National Heritage Area. The key point is that it is a Notice of Intent to Award and explicitly not a request for applications. In other words, the NPS is not opening a competitive grant round; it is publicly documenting its plan to provide additional funds without full and open competition by issuing a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement (H1761100006) with Parks and Trails New York (PTNY). The announcement directs readers to the attached full notice for the specific project activities to be supported.
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, reflecting the kind of partnership-based federal assistance commonly used when the agency expects substantial involvement in the project. The activity category is tied to National Heritage Areas, and the CFDA (now commonly referred to under Assistance Listings) number provided is 15.939, National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance. The total estimated funding amount is $757,000, and because both the award ceiling and award floor are also listed as $757,000, the notice signals a single, fixed anticipated award amount rather than a range. The expected number of awards is one, aligning with the stated intent to add funds to the existing agreement with PTNY.
Although the listing includes an eligibility category (nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education), that information is largely informational in this context because the notice is not soliciting new applicants. It is essentially a transparency step required for noncompetitive federal financial assistance actions, making clear who is intended to receive the funds and under what existing agreement mechanism the money will flow. The posting date is January 6, 2011, with a very short window shown for the original and current closing date of January 11, 2011, and an archive date of January 12, 2011, which is typical for notices that are not meant to collect applications but instead serve as public documentation.
For anyone trying to locate the precise scope of work, deliverables, or justification for the noncompetitive approach, the notice indicates that those details are contained in the attachment accessible through the "Full Announcement" link. For access issues, the contact listed is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
