Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior, intent to make a single award related to implementing the River Management Plan for the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River for FY 2015. The key point is that it is not a solicitation and not an opportunity for the public to apply. Instead, it is a public-facing announcement explaining that NPS plans to add funding to an existing cooperative agreement, rather than run a full and open competitive process.
The planned action is a modification to an existing Cooperative Agreement (P11AC90818) with the Upper Delaware Council, Inc. (UDC). UDC is identified as a nonprofit entity and the sole intended recipient, meaning the award is being made as a single-source action. The purpose of posting the notice is primarily transparency: it documents NPSs intent to support specific project activities tied to the river management plan without competition, and it provides a brief window for the public record before the notice is archived.
Financially, the notice lists an estimated total funding amount of $300,000, with an award floor and ceiling also set at $300,000, indicating the award amount is fixed rather than a range. No cost sharing or matching funds are required from the recipient. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally signals that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the supported work (as opposed to a standard grant where federal involvement is typically more limited), although the exact roles and responsibilities would be defined in the underlying agreement and any attached documentation.
Administratively, the opportunity is labeled as discretionary and associated with CFDA number 15.921, Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance. It was posted on October 24, 2014, with an original and current closing date of October 29, 2014, and an archive date of October 30, 2014. Because this is not an application-based opportunity, these dates function more like the posting and public notice period rather than deadlines for submitting proposals.
For anyone seeking further specifics, the notice directs readers to the attachment available through the "Full Announcement" link in the original listing. It also provides a point of contact for access issues: Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476.
