Opportunity Summary:
The Notice of Intent to Award titled "Multidisciplinary Cultural Resource and Section 106 Project in Shenandoah National Park" is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior funding notice that serves strictly as a public announcement of an intended award. It is explicitly not a request for applications and is not an open competition opportunity. Instead, the purpose is to inform the public that NPS plans to fund a specific set of project activities through a single-source arrangement, meaning the agency is proceeding without full and open competitive solicitation.
This action is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates an award type where the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared to a standard grant. The planned work is tied to cultural resources management and, in particular, Section 106-related responsibilities. Section 106 refers to the National Historic Preservation Act review process that federal agencies must follow when their actions may affect historic properties. In practical terms, projects under this umbrella often include activities like identifying and documenting cultural resources, evaluating potential effects to historic properties, supporting compliance documentation, and coordinating with relevant stakeholders involved in the consultation and review process. The title signals a multidisciplinary approach, suggesting the work may involve more than one area of expertise (for example, archaeology, architectural history, cultural landscapes, ethnography, archival research, GIS mapping, or related cultural resource disciplines) in support of compliance and resource stewardship needs within Shenandoah National Park.
The notice specifies that the award will be made to James Madison University (JMU), described as a public/state-controlled institution of higher education. The funding is tied to Task Agreement P14AC01235 under an existing Cooperative Agreement (P14AC00657). In other words, the NPS is not seeking new applicants; it is issuing a task agreement under an established cooperative agreement framework with JMU to carry out the identified work.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $25,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also set at $25,000, indicating the amount is fixed for this action. The CFDA listing provided is 15.946, Cultural Resources Management, which aligns with the subject matter of cultural resources and preservation compliance. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated, so the recipient is not expected to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.
Administratively, the notice was posted on August 14, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 19, 2014, and an archive date of August 20, 2014. These dates function more as a public notice window rather than an application submission timeline, since the announcement is not soliciting proposals. The listing also notes that complete details are contained in an attachment accessible through the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov, implying that specifics such as the scope of work, deliverables, timelines, and NPS involvement would be found in that referenced document rather than in the summary record.
For assistance, the notice provides a point of contact for issues accessing the full announcement electronically: Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER (Northeast Region) Agreements Officer, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476. This contact is positioned as support for obtaining the official documentation, not for applicant inquiries, since eligibility is effectively restricted to the identified single-source recipient for this intent-to-award action.
