Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award for a project called Rehabilitation of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail in Maine. It is not an open grant competition and it is not requesting applications from the public. Instead, it is a formal public notice that the NPS plans to make a single, non-competitive award under an existing cooperative framework, specifically through Task Agreement P13AC00560 with the Maine Department of Conservation, Maine Conservation Corps (MCC), under Cooperative Agreement P12AC30794. In practical terms, the announcement is mainly about transparency: it lets the public know the agency intends to fund a specific partner to carry out defined work, rather than soliciting proposals from multiple applicants.
The funding is issued as a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing money, such as coordinating, providing technical guidance, setting standards, or participating in oversight. The activity is categorized as "Other" with an explicit explanation that it is a notice rather than a call for proposals. The assistance listing tied to the award is CFDA 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations, which aligns with the involvement of the Maine Conservation Corps and suggests the project likely includes youth or service-crew-based conservation and trail work.
Financially, the award is set at a total of $82,500, and both the award ceiling and floor are listed as $82,500, indicating a single fixed award amount rather than a range. The announcement anticipates exactly one award. It also states that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or in-kind support) in accordance with the terms of the underlying cooperative agreement and task agreement, even though the notice itself does not spell out the exact match percentage or form.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, and the notice specifies this is a single-source award to a state entity, reinforcing that the intended recipient is already selected and the public cannot apply to compete for the funds. The timeline reflects how brief these notice postings can be: it was posted on June 11, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 17, 2013, and an archive date of June 18, 2013. Those dates do not represent an application window in the normal sense; they function more like an administrative posting period for the notice.
For anyone trying to find more detail about the exact work to be performed (for example, which trail sections in Maine, what kinds of rehabilitation activities are included, deliverables, crew composition, and performance measures), the notice points readers to an attachment available through the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov. If there are issues accessing the full materials, the listed contact is Jennifer Fleming, Agreements Officer for NPS Northeast Region, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
