Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service grant opportunity titled "Lewis and Clark National Historical Trail Auto Tour Route Wayshowing Assessment and Plan, Phase Two" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ6490100335) is a discretionary funding action planned as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity category. The effort is connected to the Lewis and Clark National Historical Trail Auto Tour Route and focuses on "wayshowing," meaning the assessment and planning work used to guide travelers along the route through signage, directional information, and related navigation and interpretive aids. This announcement specifically refers to Phase Two of that work, indicating it builds on an earlier phase and is intended to continue or refine an existing assessment and plan.
This notice is not a typical open competition for grant applicants. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award through the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement cites DOI policy authority (505 DM 2.12C) as the basis for using a noncompetitive approach. In practical terms, that means the National Park Service is signaling it intends to issue a task agreement under the CESU framework rather than solicit proposals broadly.
The eligible applicant information makes the sole intended recipient explicit: this is a single-source award to Colorado State University. Although the general eligibility field is labeled "Others (see text field...)," the eligibility statement clarifies that the announcement is not a request for applications and therefore is not inviting other organizations to apply. The listing also shows no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $50,000. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which often occurs in postings where the agency is not using the standard competitive range fields because the action is tied to a predefined task agreement or internal contracting/grants mechanism. The posting indicates "Expected Awards: 0," which is consistent with a notice-of-intent style posting that is primarily informational and not designed to produce multiple awards through competition.
The timeline in the announcement reflects a short public posting window, with a posted date and creation date of July 21, 2010, and an original/current closing date of July 26, 2010. The archive date is August 25, 2010. This short timeframe also aligns with the fact that the agency is not seeking applications; the "closing date" functions more like the end of the public notice period rather than a deadline for proposal submissions.
For questions or access issues related to the full announcement, the contact listed is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
