Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) announcement titled "Notice of Intent to Award Alternative Transportation Initial Pilot Shuttle Program Planning for Delaware Water Gap" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 12 NERO 0031). It is not an open grant competition and it is not asking the public to submit applications. Instead, it serves as a formal public notice that NPS intends to issue funding to support specific project activities related to planning an initial pilot shuttle program connected to alternative transportation in the Delaware Water Gap area.
The funding will be provided through a cooperative agreement mechanism, specifically as a task agreement issued under an already-existing cooperative agreement (H4320100444) with the Monroe County Transportation Authority. Because the award will be made without full and open competition, this is effectively a single-source, noncompetitive action rather than a typical discretionary grant opportunity where multiple organizations apply and compete for selection. The eligibility language reflects that structure by indicating the recipient is a nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) status, and by identifying the Monroe County Transportation Authority as the intended partner under the existing agreement.
Financially, the notice indicates one expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $165,000. The award ceiling and award floor are both listed as $165,000, which signals that the intended award amount is fixed at that level rather than offered as a range. The announcement also states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide a specified percentage of non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
In terms of timing and status, the notice was posted on May 1, 2012, with an original and current closing date of May 7, 2012, and an archive date of May 8, 2012. Even though a "closing date" is shown in the standard Grants.gov fields, in this context it functions more as an administrative window for the public notice period rather than a deadline for submitting applications, since the notice explicitly says it is not a request for applications.
The funding activity category is listed as "Other," with the explanation clarifying again that the purpose is to provide public notice of NPS intent to fund project activities without full and open competition. The CFDA number is shown as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which generally indicates the opportunity does not map neatly to a single standard CFDA assistance listing in the way many competitive grant programs do.
For anyone who needs the complete details behind the notice, the announcement points readers to an attachment available under the Full Announcement link (as posted on Grants.gov). If access to the full announcement is difficult, the notice provides a point of contact: Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
