Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Local Road Projects via Cuyahoga Valley National Park" (Funding Opportunity Number E12AC4H2000), is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action issued as a public notice of intent to award. The purpose is to support road rehabilitation projects carried out by two local jurisdictions located within or directly affected by Cuyahoga Valley National Park: the Village of Peninsula and Boston Township. The underlying issue the program is addressing is that, when the park was created, the NPS purchased properties that were previously part of the local tax base. That reduction in taxable property value weakened the municipalities' normal revenue streams used to maintain and repair public roads, even as those same roads experienced sustained and heavy use from park visitors accessing park facilities and attractions.
The funding is structured as cooperative agreements rather than standard grants, which signals that the NPS expects to play an active role in the work rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The announcement states that the National Park Service will be "substantially involved" in meeting project tasks and objectives. The work is framed as part of the Road Rehabilitation Assistance Program, meaning the projects are expected to follow that program's guidelines and priorities, with the overall goal of maintaining safe, functional transportation infrastructure that serves both the communities and the park.
In terms of scope and scale, the opportunity anticipated two awards, aligning with the two named municipal recipients. The estimated total funding amount listed is $69,927, with an award ceiling of $37,977 and an award floor of $31,950, suggesting each award would fall within that range. There is no stated cost sharing or matching requirement, so recipients were not expected to provide a mandatory non-federal match. The activity category is Transportation, and the CFDA number provided is 15.946 (Cultural Resources Management), reflecting the federal assistance cataloging used at the time even though the described work is road rehabilitation connected to park impacts.
Eligibility is listed broadly enough to include city or township governments as well as 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding institutions of higher education), but the text makes clear this was a targeted, single-source type action intended specifically for the Village of Peninsula and Boston Township. The notice references a "single source determination" and cites internal policy language (505 DM 2.14 B(4), Unique Qualifications), which is commonly used to justify limiting competition when a specific entity is uniquely positioned or directly impacted in a way that makes them the logical recipient.
The posting date and creation date were August 7, 2012, with an original and current closing date of September 7, 2012, and an archive date of October 7, 2012. Anyone needing access to the full announcement at the time was directed to Grants.gov, with a contact listed for assistance: Katie Schroeder, Grants Management Specialist, Midwest Regional Office, phone 402-661-1640.
