Opportunity Summary:
The "Notice of Intent to Award: Lowell Multi modal Transportation Improvements" is a National Park Service (NPS) funding notice issued by the United States Department of the Interior to publicly announce that NPS plans to make a single, non-competitive award for a specific project. The notice is explicit that it is not a request for applications, meaning no broader applicant pool is being solicited and there is no open competition associated with this opportunity. Instead, it serves as a transparency step letting the public know that NPS intends to fund identified activities through a targeted award.
This opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0087 and will be issued as a cooperative agreement, which generally implies that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds (for example, coordination, technical input, or oversight consistent with the terms of the agreement). The activity is categorized as "Other," with the explanatory text clarifying that the key purpose of the posting is the notice of intent itself rather than an open grant competition. The associated CFDA number is 15.946, Cultural Resources Management, indicating the project is tied to stewardship, preservation, or management of cultural resources, even though the project title emphasizes multimodal transportation improvements.
The intended recipient is the City of Lowell, identified as a city government, and the announcement states this will be a single-source award made without full and open competition. As a result, the eligibility field is essentially informational: while Grants.gov may display an "Eligible Applicants" category, the notice clarifies that the only planned awardee is the City of Lowell. The posting lists an expected number of awards of one, reinforcing that no additional awards are anticipated under this notice.
Financially, the total estimated funding is $330,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also set at $330,000. That structure signals the NPS anticipates a single award at a fixed amount rather than a range of potential funding levels. The notice also indicates a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or in-kind support) as part of the overall project financing, subject to the specific terms described in the full announcement.
In terms of timing and administrative details, the notice was posted on July 6, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 15, 2015, and an archive date of July 16, 2015. These dates function more as a documentation window on Grants.gov than an application deadline, since the announcement is not soliciting proposals. Anyone looking for the complete description of the project activities, the rationale for the single-source approach, the expected scope of work, and the details of the matching requirement would need to review the "Full Announcement" under the "Related Documents" section referenced in the notice.
For access or administrative questions, the contact listed is Jennifer Fleming, NPS Northeast Region (NER) Agreements Officer, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476. The notice also points users to general Grants.gov support resources for help navigating the site, but again, the practical takeaway is that this posting is intended to inform the public of a planned award rather than invite applications from other entities.
