Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior funding announcement titled "Notice of Intent to Award Rehabilitation of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail in Maine FY 14-15" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0085). It is not a competitive grant opportunity and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public transparency notice that NPS intends to fund a specific set of project activities through a single, non-competitive award.
The planned award will be made as a cooperative agreement, meaning NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the work rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant. The project will be executed through Task Agreement P14AC01120, issued under an existing cooperative agreement (P12AC30794). The intended recipient is the Maine Department of Conservation, Maine Conservation Corps, identified in the notice as a state government entity. Because the recipient and mechanism are already established, the posting is primarily informational and is meant to document the agency's decision to proceed without full and open competition.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," indicating the work aligns with conservation and stewardship activities often carried out with youth corps participation. While the notice does not spell out detailed scopes of work in the text provided, the title and program context indicate the funded activities relate to rehabilitation work on the Appalachian National Scenic Trail in Maine during FY 2014-2015, which can include trail tread repair, drainage improvements, site stabilization, and related corridor stewardship tasks typical of trail rehabilitation projects.
The announcement lists a single expected award, with total estimated funding of $82,421. Both the award ceiling and award floor are also $82,421, which signals the NPS had already determined the exact anticipated funding amount for this task agreement at the time of posting. A cost sharing or matching requirement is marked "Yes," meaning the project is expected to include some form of non-federal contribution (cash or in-kind), though the specific matching ratio or allowable match types would be defined in the underlying agreement documents or attachment referenced in the full announcement.
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on July 14, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 19, 2014, and an archive date of July 20, 2014. Since this is not an application-based competition, these dates function more as an administrative posting window on Grants.gov rather than an application deadline for prospective applicants.
For anyone needing the complete details, the notice directs readers to review the attachment under the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov. For access issues or questions related to the posted notice, the contact listed is Jennifer Fleming, NPS Northeast Region Agreements Officer, at (215) 597-6476.
