Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), part of the U.S. Department of the Interior, published a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "YCC Crew To Maintain Cultural Landscapes and Park Structures at Johnstown Flood National Memorial" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0066). This notice is strictly a public announcement of NPS plans to make an award and is not a request for applications. In other words, the opportunity was not open for competitive proposals, and members of the public or other organizations were not being invited to apply through Grants.gov.
The funding instrument for the action is a cooperative agreement, and the work is being issued as a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement (Cooperative Agreement # P15AC00031). The activity falls under CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which is typically associated with youth conservation and service crews carrying out hands-on stewardship work. The project focus, as indicated in the title, is practical maintenance supporting the preservation and upkeep of cultural landscapes and park structures at Johnstown Flood National Memorial, a site where ongoing grounds and historic-structure maintenance can be essential for resource protection and visitor experience.
NPS stated that this would be a single-source award made without full and open competition to the Student Conservation Association (SCA), identified as a nonprofit entity. Because it is single-source, the listing’s "Eligible Applicants" field is essentially procedural; the notice clarifies that the intent is to fund SCA specifically rather than solicit broader eligibility. The announcement also notes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the project was expected to involve some form of non-federal contribution (cash or in-kind), consistent with many cooperative agreement structures, although the brief summary provided does not detail the exact match percentage or allowable sources.
The anticipated award profile was for one award with a total estimated funding amount of $50,146, with both the award ceiling and award floor set at $50,146. That structure indicates a fixed, predefined project amount rather than a range. The notice was posted and created on June 22, 2015, had an original and current closing date of July 1, 2015, and was archived on July 2, 2015. Those dates function more as the public notice window than an application period, since the document explicitly states it is not soliciting applications.
For additional details beyond the brief synopsis, NPS directed readers to the Full Announcement under the Related Documents section on Grants.gov. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact was Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476. The notice also referenced the general Grants.gov "Contact Us" resources for navigation help, though again this would be more relevant for locating documents than submitting an application for this particular action.
