Opportunity Summary:
The Notice of Intent to Award titled "Appalachian Trail Rehabilitation Projects" is a National Park Service (NPS) funding notice issued by the United States Department of the Interior. The main point of the announcement is procedural rather than competitive: it is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as public documentation that NPS intends to fund specific Appalachian Trail rehabilitation activities through a pre-identified recipient, without full and open competition. In other words, there is no open grant competition associated with this notice, and outside organizations are not being invited to apply.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means NPS anticipates substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds. The work will be carried out through Task Agreement P14AC01274, which is issued to the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC) under an existing Cooperative Agreement (P14AC00659). The ATC is identified as the sole recipient and is described as a nonprofit entity, making this a single-source action rather than a competitive grant opportunity.
Financially, the notice lists one expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $332,032. The award ceiling and award floor are both stated as $332,032, which effectively signals a fixed intended award amount for this particular action. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required by the notice to contribute matching funds as a condition of the award.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is labeled discretionary and tied to CFDA number 15.935, "National Trails System Projects," which aligns with rehabilitation and stewardship work associated with nationally significant trail resources. The posting date is July 24, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 29, 2014, and an archive date of July 30, 2014. Those dates function mainly as a publication window for the notice on Grants.gov, since this is not an application-based competition.
Eligibility is effectively restricted by design. While the system fields may show a broad category such as "Others," the eligibility language clarifies that this is a notice of intent for a single-source award to the Appalachian Trail Conservancy. Anyone seeking the complete project description, scope of work, or additional details is directed to the attachment available via the "Full Announcement" link referenced in the posting.
For access issues or questions specific to obtaining the full announcement materials, the notice provides a direct agency contact: Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476. The notice also points users to general Grants.gov help resources for navigation or generic grant-related questions, though in this case the announcement is informational and not meant to generate applications.
