Opportunity Summary:
The Notice of Intent to Award titled "Sudbury, Assabet and Concord Wild and Scenic River Assistance" is a National Park Service (NPS) announcement meant strictly as a public notice, not as an open funding competition. In other words, it is not a grant solicitation and it is not asking new applicants to apply. The purpose of posting it on Grants.gov is to document that the NPS intends to move forward with a specific award without full and open competition.
This opportunity is issued by the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service, under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0076. The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically signals that the federal agency expects to be substantially involved in the funded work (for example, coordinating activities, providing technical input, or partnering on deliverables) rather than simply issuing funds with minimal federal participation. The program is associated with CFDA 15.921, Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance, and the activity category is listed as "Other," with the explanation clarifying that it is a notice of intent to award rather than a normal competitive grant.
The NPS indicates it intends to make a single-source award to one specific nonprofit organization: OARS For the Sudbury, Assabet, and Concord Rivers. The announcement references a new cooperative agreement (P14AC01101) to support project activities related to assistance for the Sudbury, Assabet, and Concord Rivers, which are part of a Wild and Scenic River context. Because it is single-source, the posting effectively confirms that the agency has identified OARS as the recipient and does not plan to consider other applicants for this particular funding action.
Financially, the award is described with a very clear total amount: the estimated total funding is $31,600, and both the award floor and award ceiling are also $31,600. That means the NPS expected one award in exactly that amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. The announcement also states that cost sharing or matching is required, which means the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or allowable in-kind contributions) toward the project, consistent with the cooperative agreement terms.
The posting and timing details reinforce that this is a notice rather than a competition. It was posted on August 6, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 11, 2014, and it was archived on August 12, 2014. Those dates function more like an administrative window for public notice than a real application period, since the announcement repeatedly emphasizes that it is not a request for applications and that eligibility is limited to the named organization for this single-source action.
For anyone trying to find the full specifics of the intended project activities, the announcement directs readers to the attachment available through the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov. For access issues or administrative questions about the announcement itself, the listed contact is Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
