Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Stabilize the Ore Bin, Retaining Wall, and Ball Mill Crusher at the Mastodon Mine Interpretive Site" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00141) is a National Park Service discretionary grant action that will be carried out through a cooperative agreement. The project sits within the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs tied to resources of the National Park System. The intent is to support work at the Mastodon Mine Interpretive Site focused specifically on stabilizing historic mining-related features, including an ore bin, a retaining wall, and a ball mill crusher. In practical terms, the effort is aimed at protecting and preserving these structures so they remain safe and interpretable as part of the site s historic and educational value.
This notice is not structured as an open competition. Instead, it is explicitly described as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single source award under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement cites the Department of the Interior 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C as the policy basis for proceeding noncompetitively. The expected number of awards is one, and the identified recipient is Cornerstones Community Partnerships. Because of that, the posting functions more as a transparency and public notice document than a call for proposals, and it states plainly that it is not a request for applications.
Financially, the announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of 34,000 dollars. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to provide a matching contribution as a condition of the award. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as zero, which commonly appears in notices of intent or noncompetitive postings where the agency is disclosing an action but not running a typical competitive range with minimum and maximum award sizes.
In terms of timing and status, the opportunity was posted on February 19, 2014, with the original and current closing date both shown as February 24, 2014, and it was archived on March 26, 2014. The short window aligns with the fact that this is a single source, noncompetitive notice rather than an open solicitation. Eligibility is categorized broadly as "Others," but the eligibility section clarifies that the action is intended for a specific organization and is not open for applications.
