Opportunity Summary:

The Hopewell Furnace NHS Mill Race Retaining Walls opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 10 NERO 0061) is a National Park Service notice stating its intent to make a single, specific award connected to preservation work at Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site. It is issued by the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and it is explicitly labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award," meaning it is not a competitive solicitation and not a request for applications. In practical terms, the NPS is using this posting to publicly document that it plans to fund a defined set of activities through an existing relationship, rather than opening the project up for new proposals.

The planned award is structured as a cooperative agreement in the discretionary funding category, with the activity described under a preservation purpose. The project focus is historic preservation: restoring approximately 300 feet of dry stone wall associated with the mill race retaining walls at Hopewell Furnace NHS. Because this is an established historic site, the work is framed as preserving an historic structure, which typically involves specialized craftsmanship and attention to historic methods and materials, consistent with the mention of dry stone wall restoration.

The notice indicates the NPS intends to fund the work without full and open competition by issuing Task Agreement J4430L00015 under an already-existing Cooperative Agreement (H4870060023) with the identified cooperator, Dry Stone Conservancy, Inc. This signals that the agency has already selected its partner through prior agreements and is now authorizing a specific task under that umbrella agreement. The posting also lists eligible applicants generally as 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding institutions of higher education), but the noncompetitive nature of the announcement and the named cooperator make clear that the purpose is transparency about an intended award rather than inviting new applicants.

Financially, the opportunity is straightforward and fully bounded: the estimated total funding is $131,629, and both the award ceiling and award floor are the same amount ($131,629). That combination strongly suggests a single, fixed expected award amount rather than a range. The announcement anticipates one award in total and states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.

In terms of timing, the notice was posted on September 20, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 24, 2010, and an archive date of September 25, 2010. Those short timelines are consistent with an intent-to-award posting, where the objective is to provide public notice within a set window rather than allow time for proposal development.

For anyone needing access to the full announcement materials or experiencing difficulty retrieving the attachment referenced under the "Full Announcement" link, the contact listed is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
