Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) grant action that is being issued strictly as a public announcement of intent to fund a specific project, not as an open call for proposals. Titled "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD - PLC FY15 Utilize High School Crew to Rehabilitate Park Trails," it states that NPS plans to support project activities related to rehabilitating park trails using a high school crew. Because it is a notice of intent rather than a competitive solicitation, it explicitly says it is not requesting applications and that the planned award will be made without full and open competition.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0070 and is categorized as a discretionary award. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance (for example, coordination, oversight, technical direction, or shared management responsibilities), rather than simply issuing funds with minimal federal involvement as is more common in a standard grant.
Only one award is expected, and the total funding amount is fixed at 27,000 dollars. The posting indicates an award ceiling of 27,000 dollars and an award floor of 27,000 dollars, meaning the intended award amount is essentially predetermined at 27,000 dollars rather than being a range. No cost sharing or matching funds are required, so the recipient is not expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
The program is associated with CFDA number 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which aligns with the stated approach of using a youth crew (in this case, high school participants) to carry out conservation and rehabilitation work on park trails. While the eligibility field is labeled broadly as "Others," the repeated language throughout the notice makes clear that eligibility is not the main point here because the announcement is meant to document NPS intent to fund particular project activities rather than to invite multiple eligible applicants to compete.
Key dates show it was posted and created on June 24, 2015, with a closing date of July 3, 2015, and archived on July 4, 2015. In this context, the closing date functions more like the end of the public notice period than an application deadline, since the announcement repeatedly emphasizes it is not a request for applications.
For additional information or if someone cannot access the full announcement electronically, the notice provides a contact: Patrick Reidy, Grants Management Specialist, by phone at 215-597-5949, with an NPS email referenced in the contact section.
