Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) government grant announcement titled "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD - Mississippi River Skyway Bridge - Mississippi National River and Recreation Area (MISS)" under funding opportunity number P14AP00202. It was posted on September 19, 2014, with a closing date of September 26, 2014, and later archived on October 26, 2014. The listing is tied to CFDA (now commonly referenced through Assistance Listings) number 15.941, which covers Mississippi National River and Recreation Area State and Local Assistance. The opportunity category is labeled "Other," the funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is Natural Resources. The announcement repeatedly emphasizes that it is a "Notice of Intent to Award" and explicitly states that it is not a request for proposals, meaning the agency was signaling its intention to make a specific award rather than running an open, competitive solicitation.
The purpose of the planned agreement is to develop and construct the Mississippi Skyway (also called the Skyway), a bridge or elevated crossing that would span Highway 10 within the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area. The core objective is transportation connectivity and safety for non-motorized users: it is designed to allow bicyclists and pedestrians to travel between Metro Transit's Northstar Commuter Rail and bus station in Ramsey and the Mississippi River Trail (MRT) located in Mississippi West Regional Park. In practical terms, the project supports multimodal access by linking transit riders directly to a major regional trail system, reducing barriers created by a highway crossing and improving recreational and commuter route options in and around the recreation area.
Financially, the announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $490,000, with an award ceiling of $490,000 and an award floor of $0. Only one award was expected. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated, suggesting the federal share could potentially cover the full award amount for the intended recipient, subject to the terms of the final agreement and any applicable NPS requirements. Eligible applicants are limited to government entities at the city or township, county, and state levels, which aligns with the program's state and local assistance focus and the nature of infrastructure projects that typically involve local or state transportation and parks partners.
For assistance accessing the full announcement, the point of contact listed is Julie Hendricks, Lead Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 402-661-1662, with contact also available via email (the email address is not shown in the excerpt provided).
