Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a public announcement from the National Park Service (NPS) stating its intent to make a single cooperative agreement award for a project titled "Rehab Appalachian Trail at Bear Mountain." It is not an open grant competition and it is not asking organizations to submit applications. Instead, it serves as a formal transparency step to explain that NPS plans to fund specific project activities without full and open competition, meaning the agency expects to move forward with a predetermined recipient or a limited-competition approach allowed under federal assistance rules.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0067 and is categorized as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement. A cooperative agreement generally indicates that NPS anticipates substantial federal involvement during the project, such as collaboration on planning, oversight, or technical direction, rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The activity category is labeled "Other," with the clarification repeating that this is a notice of intent to award rather than a solicitation.
Funding details are straightforward and fixed. NPS expects to make one award with an estimated total funding amount of $26,000. The award ceiling and floor are both $26,000, which signals the planned award amount is set rather than a range. The opportunity also includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient will be expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or in-kind support) toward the project, consistent with the final negotiated agreement terms.
The program is associated with CFDA number 15.931, titled "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations." While the notice itself does not spell out work tasks in detail, the CFDA association indicates the project likely aligns with hands-on conservation or trail rehabilitation work potentially involving youth conservation crews or youth service organizations, consistent with the Appalachian Trail rehabilitation focus at Bear Mountain.
Key dates show this notice was posted and created on June 23, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 2, 2015, and an archive date of July 3, 2015. Because the announcement is not accepting applications, these dates function more as the public notice window rather than an application deadline for prospective applicants.
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," but the listing repeatedly emphasizes that it is not a request for applications. In practical terms, that means organizations should not expect to apply through a standard competitive process for this specific funding action. Anyone seeking more information or needing help accessing the full announcement is directed to the NPS contact listed: Patrick Reidy, Grants Management Specialist, phone 215-597-5949.
