Opportunity Summary:
This grant posting is a National Park Service (NPS) "Notice of Intent to Award" for a project focused on rehabilitating portions of the Appalachian Trail in Maine, specifically within the Bigelow and Baldpate districts. The key point is that it is not an open solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, NPS is using the announcement to publicly document its plan to fund certain project activities without full and open competition, meaning no competitive application process is being conducted through Grants.gov for this award.
The opportunity is being issued by the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and it is structured as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations." The posting describes the action as a single-source award intended for the Maine Conservation Corps (MCC), which is identified as a state government entity. In practical terms, that means eligibility is effectively limited to MCC for this specific funding action, and other organizations are not being invited to apply.
Financially, the total anticipated award amount is $56,000, and the notice lists the award floor and ceiling as the same amount, indicating NPS expects one award at exactly that funding level. The announcement also notes that cost sharing or a matching requirement applies, so the project is expected to include some form of non-federal contribution or shared costs, although the brief listing does not spell out the match percentage or the acceptable forms of match (those details would typically appear in the full announcement attachments).
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and falls under an "Other" activity category, clarified by the text as being a notice rather than a competitive grant round. The timeline in the posting reflects its notice function: it was posted on July 4, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 13, 2015, and an archive date of July 14, 2015. Those dates are best understood as the publication window for the public notice rather than a period for submitting applications, since NPS explicitly states this is not a request for applications.
For anyone trying to locate additional specifics (such as the exact trail rehabilitation tasks, deliverables, reporting requirements, and the details of the cost share), the listing directs readers to the "Related Documents" section in Grants.gov and to open the "Full Announcement." The contact listed for access issues or questions about the announcement is Jennifer Fleming, NPS Northeast Region Agreements Officer, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
