Opportunity Summary:
The Farmington Wild and Scenic River Assistance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 10 NERO 0048) is a National Park Service notice stating its intent to make a single cooperative agreement award tied to work on the Farmington Wild and Scenic River. It is explicitly labeled as a NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD and, importantly, it is not a request for applications. In practical terms, this means the National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, is using the announcement to publicly document that it plans to fund a specific set of project activities without running an open competitive solicitation.
The planned award is structured as a Cooperative Agreement under the Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance program (CFDA 15.921), and it falls under the Environment funding activity category. The announcement indicates the action is a non-competitive modification (modification 0003) to an existing cooperative agreement, identified as H4507070013, with the Farmington River Watershed Association as the cooperator. Because it is a modification to an existing agreement rather than a new competition, the “eligible applicants” field listing 501(c)(3) nonprofits is largely informational here; the intent is to continue or adjust funding with the named partner rather than invite new organizations to apply.
The funding amount is fixed, with an estimated total funding of $69,900 and both the award ceiling and award floor set at $69,900. This signals the NPS anticipated exactly one award at exactly that dollar amount (Expected Awards: 1). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide non-federal match as a condition of receiving the funds, at least as reflected in the summary fields of the posting.
In terms of timing and status, the opportunity was posted on September 14, 2010, had an original and current closing date of September 19, 2010, and was archived on September 20, 2010. Those dates align with the purpose of the notice: it functions more like a brief public posting window for transparency around a planned, non-competitive award action rather than a typical open application period.
For anyone trying to understand the scope of the supported work, the announcement points readers to an attachment available through the “Full Announcement” link for complete details. The posted description itself does not enumerate the specific tasks, deliverables, or performance period; it mainly communicates the government’s intention to fund identified project activities through the existing cooperative agreement relationship. Administrative questions about accessing the full announcement were directed to Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist, at 215-597-6476.
