Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) "Notice of Intent to Award" for a project titled "Conduct Archeological Research at SVBF Thoburn Property in preparation for Parking Lot Installation." The key point is that it is not a competitive grant solicitation. In other words, the NPS is not asking organizations to apply for funding through an open application process. Instead, the agency is issuing a public notification that it plans to fund specific project activities through an award that will be made without full and open competition. The notice directs anyone seeking the full rationale and detailed scope to the supporting materials posted in the "Related Documents" section on Grants.gov.
The planned award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the federal agency expects to be substantially involved during the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The funding opportunity is listed as discretionary and falls under an "Other" activity category (with the implication that the specifics are clarified in the full text of the notice). The associated CFDA number is 15.954, reflecting the assistance listing the NPS is using to make the award.
In terms of scale and timing, the notice indicates an anticipated single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an award ceiling of $52,500. The posting shows a creation date of September 15, 2016, and an original closing date of September 24, 2016. Because this is a notice of intent to award rather than a request for applications, the closing date functions more like an administrative window for the public posting period rather than an application deadline for prospective applicants.
Eligibility is labeled broadly as "Others," with the expectation that additional eligibility details are provided in the notice attachments or supplemental text. Practically, however, notices like this typically correspond to a partner, institution, or entity the NPS has already identified as the intended recipient for the work. The project itself centers on archeological research at the SVBF Thoburn Property in advance of parking lot installation, which suggests the work is intended to identify, evaluate, and appropriately manage any cultural or archeological resources that could be affected by the planned ground-disturbing construction.
Finally, the notice provides basic navigation guidance: for detailed information, readers are instructed to use the "Related Documents" link for the complete notice content, and to consult the Grants.gov "Support" resources for general help with the platform. Overall, the announcement serves transparency purposes by disclosing that the NPS intends to make a non-competitive cooperative agreement award for archeological work tied to a specific site preparation need.
