Opportunity Summary:
This grant notice is a public-facing announcement from the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), stating its intent to make a specific award related to Hurricane Sandy cleanup work at the National Parks of New York Harbor. It is explicitly labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award" and not a request for applications, meaning the NPS is not seeking proposals from the public and there is no open competition associated with this posting. The purpose of the posting is mainly transparency: it alerts the public that NPS plans to fund a defined set of project activities through an existing agreement structure rather than running a new competitive process.
The opportunity is identified on Grants.gov under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0080, with the title "Notice of Intent to Award Hurricane Sandy The National Parks of New York Harbor Sandy Cleanup." The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates that NPS expects to be substantially involved in the project as it is carried out, rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The notice states that the work will be executed under Task Agreement P15AC00718, issued against a previously competed national Cooperative Agreement P15AC00034. In other words, the competitive step happened earlier at the national level, and this action is a task-level award under that broader, already-competed agreement.
The announcement also clarifies that this is a single-source award to Groundwork USA, described as a nonprofit entity. Because it is single-source and not open for applications, the "Eligible Applicants" field is essentially informational rather than an invitation to apply; the eligibility language reiterates that the award is intended for Groundwork USA without full and open competition. The posting lists one expected award, reinforcing that this is a single, predefined funding action rather than a program round with multiple recipients.
Financially, the estimated total funding is $77,144, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also set at $77,144. That indicates the award amount is fixed rather than a range. The notice includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute matching resources (cash or in-kind, depending on the full terms in the attached announcement and agreement). The CFDA number associated with the notice is 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which signals the broader program classification under which this work is being supported, even though the specific project focus here is Hurricane Sandy-related cleanup activities in the New York Harbor national parks.
In terms of timing and status, the notice was posted July 1, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 10, 2015, and an archive date of July 11, 2015. For a notice of intent like this, the "closing date" functions more like the end of the public notice period rather than an application deadline, since applications are not being solicited. The listing also directs readers to consult the "Related Documents" section for the full announcement details, implying that the precise scope of work, deliverables, and the nature of the Sandy cleanup activities are spelled out in the attached documents rather than in the short summary text.
For questions, the notice provides a point of contact: Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476, and notes that assistance with accessing the full announcement electronically can be requested. It also references Grants.gov navigation help via the "Contact Us" link for general grant-related site support, though again, the key takeaway is that this particular posting is informational and tied to an intended, non-competitive award rather than a standard, open grant competition.
