Opportunity Summary:
The Notice of Intent to Award titled "Construct Sullivans Trail in Valley Forge National Historical Park" is a National Park Service (NPS) funding announcement published by the United States Department of the Interior to formally inform the public that the agency plans to issue a specific award. It is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning there is no competitive application process and outside organizations are not being invited to apply. Instead, the purpose is transparency: the NPS is announcing its intention to move forward with a planned cooperative agreement to support a defined project in Valley Forge National Historical Park.
This opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0017 and falls under the "Discretionary" opportunity category. The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as coordination, oversight, technical input, or shared responsibilities during implementation. The associated CFDA program number is 15.954, National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education, signaling that the project aligns with NPS objectives related to conserving and improving park resources and visitor experiences.
The announcement describes a single-source, non-competitive award to one recipient: the Upper Merion Transportation Authority, identified as a township government entity. Eligibility is therefore limited to that single entity for this action, and the notice states that the NPS intends to fund the work without "full and open competition." Only one award is expected. The planned agreement referenced in the notice is Cooperative Agreement P14AC00287. No cost sharing or matching funds are required from the recipient, which means the federal funding is intended to cover the total project cost as structured in this award.
The total anticipated federal funding amount is listed as $249,973. Notably, the award floor and award ceiling are both $249,973, which effectively fixes the intended award amount rather than providing a range. The notice was posted and created on May 2, 2014, with an original and current closing date of May 7, 2014, and an archive date of May 8, 2014. In notices like this, the "closing date" functions more as the end of the public notice period rather than an application deadline, since applications are not being solicited.
For readers seeking the full justification or detailed scope, the announcement points to an attachment available through the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov. The notice also provides a point of contact for access issues: Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, National Park Service Northeast Region, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
