Opportunity Summary:
The Notice of Intent to Award titled "Johnstown Flood Museum - Restoration, Interpretation, Operation, and Maintenance" is a National Park Service (NPS) announcement issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior to publicly disclose the agency's plan to provide additional funding for an existing project without opening the opportunity to competition. This is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning outside organizations are not being invited to apply and no competitive selection process will occur. Instead, the NPS is announcing its intention to modify an existing cooperative agreement to add funds for continued work connected to the Johnstown Flood Museum.
This opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0032 and is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the supported activities (for example, coordination, technical input, or shared program implementation), rather than simply providing a pass-through grant with minimal federal engagement. The funding is associated with CFDA number 15.954, "National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education," and the activity category is broadly labeled "Other," reflecting that the supported work spans multiple functions tied to preserving and operating a historic and interpretive site.
The announcement indicates there is one expected award and it is a single-source action to the Johnstown Area Heritage Association, identified as a nonprofit entity. The justification provided is that this award will be made without full and open competition, and it will be issued as a modification to an already-existing cooperative agreement, specifically Cooperative Agreement P13AC00484. In practical terms, this means the recipient organization already has an established relationship and agreement framework with the NPS for this museum-related work, and the federal agency intends to continue or expand that work by adding funds rather than initiating a new competition.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $44,000, with both the award ceiling and award floor also set at $44,000. That structure signals a fixed anticipated amount rather than a range. The announcement also states that cost sharing or a matching requirement applies, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute some portion of the project cost through non-federal funds or in-kind support, consistent with the terms of the cooperative agreement (the exact match ratio or requirements would typically be detailed in the full announcement or the agreement modification).
In terms of timing, the notice was posted and created on April 15, 2015, with an original and current closing date of April 24, 2015, and an archive date of April 25, 2015. In a notice-of-intent context, these dates function more as a public posting window rather than a deadline for applications, since applications are not being solicited. The purpose is transparency: it alerts the public that the NPS plans to add funds to a specific partner organization for defined museum-related activities.
For anyone needing additional details, the notice directs readers to the full announcement via the "Related Documents" section on Grants.gov. The contact listed for access issues or assistance with the full announcement is Jennifer Fleming, NPS Northeast Region Agreements Officer, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
