Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, posted a formal Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Fire Protection Capability of Meadow Bridge Volunteer Fire Department and Fire Protection on the Lands of New River Gorge National River." The key point of the notice is that it is not a request for applications and not an open competition. Instead, it serves as public documentation that NPS planned to make a single cooperative agreement award to a specific partner, the Meadow Bridge Volunteer Fire Department, without conducting a full and open competitive process. In other words, the opportunity was published for transparency, not to solicit new proposals from other organizations.
The funding instrument identified is a cooperative agreement (Cooperative Agreement H4780100011), which generally indicates that NPS expected to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal participation. The purpose of the effort was tied to rural fire assistance and was aimed at strengthening fire protection capability for the Meadow Bridge Volunteer Fire Department while also improving fire protection services on lands associated with the New River Gorge National River. The activity category is listed broadly as "Other," clarified in the notice as Rural Fire Assistance, reinforcing that the project was about operational readiness and support for firefighting capacity in a rural setting linked to park-area needs.
Financially, the announcement indicated an estimated total funding amount of $25,000, with an award ceiling and floor both set at $25,000, meaning the intended award amount was fixed rather than a range. The notice also stated that cost sharing or matching was required, so the recipient was expected to contribute some portion of the project cost through cash or allowable in-kind support, depending on the terms of the agreement. The listing anticipated only one award, consistent with the non-competitive intent to fund a single identified cooperator.
Timing details show the notice was posted and created on September 23, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 28, 2010, and it was archived on September 29, 2010. Although the format resembles a typical grant posting, these dates primarily reflect the administrative window for the public notice rather than an application period, since the announcement explicitly states that it was not accepting applications.
Eligibility in the source data is shown as "City or township governments," but the narrative content makes clear the planned cooperator was the Meadow Bridge Volunteer Fire Department under an existing, identified cooperative agreement number. Anyone seeking the full specifics of the intended project activities was directed to the attachment linked under the full announcement on Grants.gov, and the notice provided a point of contact for access issues: Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
