Opportunity Summary:
This grant notice is a National Park Service (NPS) "Notice of Intent to Award" for a project titled "Appalachian Trail Lehigh Gap Trail Restoration Design." It is not an open solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it is a public notification that the NPS plans to make a single, non-competitive award for specific project work through an existing cooperative agreement with the Appalachian Trail Conservancy. In other words, the agency is not seeking new proposals from the public; it is documenting its intention to fund a defined set of activities with a pre-identified partner under an already-established relationship.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 13 NERO 0091 and falls under the discretionary category, using a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. The associated CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number is 15.935, which corresponds to National Trails System Projects. The funding activity category is labeled as "Other," with the explanation clarifying that the posting is a Notice of Intent to Award rather than a competitive grant program.
The award is structured as a single-source action to a nonprofit organization, specifically the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, under Cooperative Agreement Number H0500000002/P11AC90861, implemented via a task agreement. Eligibility is therefore not broadly available: while the posting lists eligible applicants generally as 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), the notice makes clear that this is a single-source award to one nonprofit entity and will be issued without full and open competition. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for this action.
Financially, the notice indicates one expected award with total funding estimated at $57,750. The award floor and ceiling are both set at $57,750, signaling that the amount is fixed for this specific task. The posting timeline reflects a short public notice window: it was posted and created on July 17, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 23, 2013, and an archive date of July 24, 2013. These dates function more as an administrative posting period for public visibility than as an application period, since applications are not being accepted.
For anyone trying to understand the project scope beyond the title, the notice directs readers to the attachment available through the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov for complete details. Administrative contact information is provided for access issues: Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, phone 215-597-6476.
