Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) "Notice of Intent to Award" for a 2016 youth project at Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park focused on repairing and rehabilitating historic carriage roads and trails on Mount Tom. The key point of the announcement is that it is not a request for applications and not a competitive funding opportunity. Instead, it serves as public notification that NPS plans to fund a specific set of project activities through an award that will be made without full and open competition, typically meaning the agency already has an intended recipient or partner identified and is documenting that intent publicly.
The opportunity is listed under the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant. A cooperative agreement generally indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project, such as providing technical guidance, coordinating work on park lands, setting preservation or resource-protection standards, and overseeing compliance requirements associated with working on historic infrastructure and within a national park unit. The activity category is labeled as "Other," which signals the work does not fit neatly into a single conventional grant category and is better understood by the project description itself: hands-on repair and rehabilitation work tied to historic transportation corridors and trail systems.
The funding opportunity number is NPS 16 NERO 0092, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.931 (a number used to classify federal assistance programs). The announcement was created on June 30, 2016, with an original closing date of July 9, 2016, which in this context functions more like an administrative posting window rather than an application deadline for the public. The expected number of awards is one, reinforcing that this is a single, targeted award rather than a broad solicitation. The award ceiling is $48,000, indicating the maximum federal amount anticipated for the cooperative agreement supporting the youth project work.
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with the details meant to be clarified in an additional eligibility field in the full notice. In practice, youth conservation and historic preservation projects at park sites are often carried out with partner organizations that specialize in youth crews, conservation corps programming, or related community-based stewardship efforts, but this notice itself does not invite new applicants to propose projects. Anyone seeking the full rationale, partner identification, scope specifics, or details about the noncompetitive justification would need to consult the attached "Related Documents" referenced in the posting, since the public-facing summary emphasizes that the purpose is notification rather than solicitation.
