Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) intent to make a single, specific award for work connected to the Boston Harbor Islands. It is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent to Award and not a request for applications, meaning the government is not soliciting proposals from the public and there is no competitive application process attached to this posting. Instead, the purpose is to formally notify the public that NPS plans to fund identified project activities through an existing partnership mechanism.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 11 NERO 0114 with the title "Manage/provide water access to and provide public information about Boston Harbor Islands including a science symposium." The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, categorized as continuation funding, and it falls under the activity category of Transportation. In practical terms, the title and category signal that the work is tied to access and visitor mobility to the islands (for example, water-based transportation access) alongside public-facing information services, and it also includes organizing or supporting a science symposium related to the Boston Harbor Islands.
NPS indicates it intends to issue Task Agreement P11AC41067 under Cooperative Agreement H1727100008 with the Boston Harbor Island Alliance as the cooperating partner. The posting states this will be done without full and open competition, which typically means NPS has determined that awarding directly to this partner is appropriate due to the existing cooperative agreement, prior work, continuity of operations, or other justification documented in the full announcement attachment.
Financially, the announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $55,200, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $55,200, and an expected number of awards of one. That structure makes clear this is essentially a pre-defined, single award amount for a single recipient rather than a range of potential award sizes. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed.
Although the eligibility field notes nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the practical reality for this notice is that the intended recipient is already identified: the Boston Harbor Island Alliance. The key dates reinforce that this is an administrative public notice rather than a period for proposal development: it was posted on September 14, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 19, 2011, and it was archived on September 20, 2011.
For anyone needing the complete details, NPS directs readers to the attachment referenced in the full announcement. The contact provided for access issues is Peggy Wall, Administrative Officer, reachable by phone at 410-260-2473, associated with Boston Harbor Islands.
