Opportunity Summary:
The Farmington Wild and Scenic River Assistance opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action under the U.S. Department of the Interior that was published as a "Notice of Intent to Award," meaning it was not a competitive grant solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, the NPS used the posting to publicly document its intent to enter into a single cooperative agreement, identified as P12AC31052, with the Farmington River Watershed Association, Inc. The announcement indicates the agreement would be made without full and open competition, which typically reflects a decision that a particular organization is uniquely positioned to carry out the specified project activities or that the work is otherwise appropriately handled through a non-competitive cooperative arrangement.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally implies that NPS expected to have substantial involvement in the project compared to a standard grant. The program is associated with CFDA 15.921, Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance, and the activity categories are listed as community development, environment, and natural resources. The total anticipated funding was $76,000, with both the award floor and award ceiling set at $76,000, signaling a single fixed award amount. One award was expected, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient was not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), though in practice the notice specifies the intended recipient: the Farmington River Watershed Association, Inc. The posting date and creation date were July 30, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 6, 2012, and an archive date of August 7, 2012, reflecting that the notice functioned primarily as a time-limited public disclosure rather than an open application window. For full project specifics, the announcement directs readers to an attachment under the "Full Announcement" section, and it provides a point of contact for access issues: Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, at 215-597-9153.
