Opportunity Summary:
The Niagara Falls National Heritage Area Management Plan opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior notice stating the agency's intent to make a single award under a cooperative agreement to support work related to developing or advancing the management plan for the Niagara Falls National Heritage Area. The most important detail is that this is not a competitive solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it is a public notice that NPS plans to proceed with a specific task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement (P12AC31117) with a named partner, Niagara University, and that the agreement will be made without full and open competition.
Administratively, the listing is categorized as a mandatory opportunity using a cooperative agreement funding instrument, reflecting an arrangement where NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the supported activities, which is typical for planning, coordination, and partner-driven heritage area work. The activity areas tied to the funding are community development, environment, and natural resources, aligning with the type of collaborative planning and stewardship efforts associated with National Heritage Areas. The CFDA program identifier is 15.939, National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance.
In terms of funding and award structure, the announcement indicates an expected single award with total estimated funding of $47,700. The award floor and ceiling are both $47,700, meaning the anticipated agreement amount is fixed rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed for this award. The eligible applicant type shown is private institutions of higher education, which matches the intended recipient, Niagara University.
The posting date and creation date are both August 25, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 30, 2012, and an archive date of August 31, 2012. Because this is a notice of intent to award rather than an open competition, those dates function more as administrative timeline markers for public notice rather than an application window for new applicants.
For further information or if someone cannot access the full announcement materials, the notice provides a point of contact: Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-9153. The announcement also notes that complete details are available in an attachment under the "Full Announcement" section referenced in the original posting.
