Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity, titled "Erie Canalway Preservation Plan Implementation, Marketing and Special Events" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 10 NERO 0058), is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award rather than an open grant competition. The notice serves mainly as a public disclosure that the U.S. Department of the Interior, through the NPS, plans to fund specific project activities without full and open competition. In other words, it is not inviting new applications; it is announcing the agency's intent to make an award under an existing cooperative agreement framework.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared with a standard grant. The work is associated with implementing elements of an Erie Canalway preservation plan and supporting related marketing and special events. The notice indicates the funding will be issued through Task Agreement J1761100003 under an already-existing Cooperative Agreement H1761100001, with the identified cooperator Parks and Trails New York. The program area is categorized under "Environment," reflecting the preservation and stewardship focus tied to the Erie Canalway, while also acknowledging the public engagement components implied by marketing and event activities.
Funding details are very specific and fixed in this notice. The total estimated funding is $499,318, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also listed as $499,318, signaling that the NPS anticipated a single, set-dollar award rather than a range of possible award amounts. The notice lists an expected number of awards as 1, consistent with an intent-to-award announcement to a named partner rather than a competitive solicitation. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated.
Although the eligible applicant category is described as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the practical implication of this specific posting is limited because it is not a request for applications. The relevant dates reinforce that point: it was posted on September 19, 2010, had an original and current closing date of September 23, 2010, and was archived on September 24, 2010. Those dates align with a short public-notice window typical of noncompetitive intent-to-award postings rather than an application period.
For anyone seeking more detailed information about the scope of work, deliverables, or the basis for the noncompetitive selection, the notice directs readers to the attachment available through the "Full Announcement" link. The listing also provides a point of contact for access issues: Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
