Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Repair Flood Damaged Historic Lime Kiln" (Funding Opportunity Number P15AC00239) is a National Park Service discretionary grant action intended to support repair work on a historic lime kiln that has been damaged by flooding. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out, rather than simply issuing funds and receiving a final report. The activity falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, indicating it is part of the broader NPS assistance framework for projects tied to stewardship, preservation, research, and related training efforts within units of the National Park System.
This notice is not an open call for proposals and is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under the Department of the Interior's policy authority cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. The announcement states the award will be executed as a task agreement under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a cooperative network often used by federal agencies to partner with qualified organizations for research, technical assistance, and project implementation. In practical terms, that means the National Park Service is indicating up front that it intends to fund a specific partner through the CESU mechanism for this specific scope of work.
The anticipated award profile is straightforward: the agency expects to make one award with an estimated total funding amount of $40,040. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The posting date and creation date are both February 24, 2015, with an original and current closing date of February 28, 2015, and an archive date of March 30, 2015. The short posting window is consistent with notices of intent for noncompetitive awards, where the purpose is typically to provide public transparency rather than to solicit competing applications.
Eligibility is effectively limited because the opportunity is designated as a single-source award. While the general eligibility line shows "Others" (with direction to see additional eligibility information), the detailed eligibility statement clarifies that the intended recipient is Cornerstones Community Partnerships. As a result, other organizations would not be able to apply for or compete for this funding under the notice as published. The announcement also references an attached document for more detailed information, and for access issues, it provides a point of contact: Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2303.
