Opportunity Summary:
The LOWE Canalway grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 13 NERO 0053) is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior notice stating the agency's intent to make a single, specific cooperative agreement award related to cultural resources management in the City of Lowell. It is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent to Award and not a request for applications, meaning it is not open for competitive submissions and is mainly meant to inform the public that NPS plans to proceed with an agreement without full and open competition.
The proposed award is structured as a continuation cooperative agreement, with the anticipated recipient identified as the City of Lowell through Task Cooperative Agreement P13AC00665. The project purpose is described as the continued development of the Canalway and Riverwalk in Lowell, which places the work in the Cultural Resources Management program area (CFDA 15.946). In practice, that indicates the funding supports preservation, interpretation, and related improvements tied to historically or culturally significant resources, rather than serving as a broad infrastructure or general recreation grant open to multiple applicants.
Funding details are fixed and narrow: NPS expected to make one award with an estimated total funding amount of $181,669, and both the award ceiling and floor are listed at $181,669, indicating a single, predetermined funding level rather than a range. The opportunity also includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash or allowable in-kind support) consistent with the terms of the cooperative agreement.
Eligibility, as listed in the public notice, is limited to city or township governments, aligning with the identified partner (the City of Lowell). The posting date and creation date are June 22, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 27, 2013, and an archive date of June 28, 2013, reflecting a short public notice window typical of intent-to-award postings rather than a standard competitive grant cycle. For anyone needing help accessing the full announcement attachment referenced in the listing, the contact provided is Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, at 215-597-0056.
