Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Fire Protection Capability of Nuttall Fire Dept and Fire Protection on the Lands of New River Gorge National River" is a National Park Service (NPS) funding notice issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is specifically labeled as a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not an open call for new applications and not a request for proposals. Instead, the purpose of the posting is to publicly document that the NPS intends to make a single, specific award without full and open competition.
The planned funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, identified as Cooperative Agreement H4780100001, to be made with the Nuttall Volunteer Fire Department. Cooperative agreements are typically used when the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project, which often means coordination on planning, implementation, or operational activities rather than a hands-off pass-through grant. The project focus, as reflected in the title, is to strengthen fire protection capability for the Nuttall area while also supporting fire protection services on lands associated with the New River Gorge National River. The activity category is listed as "Other," with a clarification that the program aligns with Rural Fire Assistance under the National Fire Plan framework.
Financially, the announcement indicates one expected award with total estimated funding of $26,580. The award floor and ceiling are both set at $26,580, which signals that the funding amount is fixed for this action rather than a range. A cost sharing or matching requirement is also listed, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute some portion of the project cost through cash, in-kind services, or other allowable match consistent with the agreement terms. The CFDA number provided is 15.242, identified as National Fire Plan Rural Fire Assistance, tying the project to federal efforts intended to support rural fire departments and improve wildfire and fire response readiness.
Eligibility is noted as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), which fits the typical organizational structure of many volunteer fire departments or their supporting entities. However, because this is a notice of intent to award to a named cooperator rather than a competitive opportunity, the eligibility statement is more a formal classification than an invitation for other organizations to apply.
Key dates show the notice was posted on September 9, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 14, 2010, and an archive date of September 15, 2010. These short windows are common for intent-to-award postings because they function primarily as public notice rather than a solicitation. For additional details, the announcement directs readers to the attachment in the full posting, and it provides a contact for access issues: Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist, at 215-597-6476.
