Opportunity Summary:
The Notice of Intent to Award titled "Preservation of the Abiel Smith School - Mitigation of Storm Water Infiltration, Boston African American National Historic Site" is a National Park Service (NPS) funding announcement issued by the United States Department of the Interior. Its main purpose is to publicly disclose that the NPS plans to fund a specific preservation project related to the Abiel Smith School, a historic resource connected to the Boston African American National Historic Site. The focus of the project, as reflected in the title, is addressing storm water infiltration issues in order to protect the building and support long-term preservation of the site.
This announcement is explicitly not a request for applications. In practical terms, that means it is not an open competition and it is not inviting other organizations to apply through Grants.gov. Instead, it serves as a transparency notice that the NPS intends to make an award without full and open competition, using a single-source approach. The intended recipient is the Museum of African American History (MAAH), identified as a nonprofit entity, and the award is structured as a cooperative agreement. A cooperative agreement generally indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, which commonly includes coordination, oversight, technical input, or shared project management responsibilities.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0145 and is connected to CFDA number 15.938, which corresponds to activities associated with the Boston African American National Historic Site. The announcement indicates there will be one expected award. The total estimated funding amount is set at 225,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also 225,000, signaling that the NPS anticipated a single, fixed award amount rather than a range of possible grant sizes. The listing also notes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the project is expected to include non-federal contributions consistent with the terms of the cooperative agreement, although the specific match structure would be detailed in the full announcement documents.
In terms of timing, the notice was posted and created on August 30, 2015, with an original and current closing date of September 8, 2015, and an archive date of September 9, 2015. Because this is not an application-based opportunity, the closing date functions more like an administrative window for the public notice period rather than a deadline for submitting proposals from outside entities.
For anyone needing the complete details, the announcement directs readers to the "Related Documents" section on Grants.gov to access the full announcement materials. It also provides a point of contact for access issues or questions about the posting: Jennifer Fleming, NPS Northeast Region Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476.
