Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Historic Property Survey for Historic Route 66 in California" (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOINTIR1501257) is a National Park Service (NPS) funding notice issued as a Notice of Intent to Award rather than an open call for proposals. In practical terms, it is not a request for applications and it does not invite competition. Instead, it serves as a public notification that the NPS plans to issue a non-competitive task agreement under an already-existing cooperative agreement. The intended recipient named in the notice is the California Preservation Foundation, which is being selected to continue work on a historic preservation survey focused on historic Route 66 within California.
The primary purpose of the project is cultural resource documentation and management: continuing the creation of a historic property survey tied to Route 66. A survey of this kind generally involves identifying, documenting, and evaluating historic resources associated with the corridor, which can include buildings, structures, sites, landscapes, and other features that contribute to the historic character of Route 66. The larger public value of this work is that it supports preservation planning and can help communities, agencies, and property owners better understand what resources exist, where they are located, what their historic significance may be, and what kinds of preservation priorities or protections might be appropriate over time.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, indicating that the NPS anticipates having substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The funding activity category is listed under "Cultural Resources" (with the broader activity label shown as "Other" and clarified in the category explanation). The associated CFDA number is 15.946, Cultural Resources Management. The notice indicates an expected single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $35,000. No cost sharing or matching requirement is listed, meaning the recipient is not required by this notice to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving the federal support.
Key dates included in the listing reflect the public notice timeline rather than an application window: the posting and creation dates are July 23, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 2, 2015, and an archive date of September 1, 2015. Because this is not a competitive funding opportunity, those dates function more as the period during which the notice is publicly available and formally recorded, not as a deadline by which outside applicants must submit materials.
Eligibility is effectively limited by design. While the listing uses a generic eligibility label ("Others"), the eligibility details make clear that the NPS intends to make a non-competitive award specifically to the California Preservation Foundation under an existing cooperative agreement. This structure is consistent with the stated basis for issuing the notice: compliance with 505 Departmental Manual 2.12, which governs circumstances in which an agency may proceed with non-competitive financial assistance and still provide public transparency about that intent.
For questions related to accessing the full announcement, the notice provides a federal contact: Trish Fresquez Hernandez, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 505-988-6122. Overall, the announcement is best understood as a transparency notice documenting NPS intent to continue a Route 66 cultural resources survey effort in California through a directed, non-competitive cooperative agreement action totaling an estimated $35,000.
