Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to award a single cooperative agreement to support shuttle transportation for visitors traveling between White Rock, New Mexico (in Los Alamos County) and Bandelier National Monument (also in Los Alamos County). The purpose is straightforward: provide a managed shuttle option that helps visitors reach Bandelier, improving access while potentially reducing private vehicle traffic and congestion associated with visitation.
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary funding action under the transportation activity category, and it is tied to CFDA 15.916 (Outdoor Recreation - Acquisition, Development and Planning). The NPS indicates an expected award count of one, and the specific intended recipient is the Incorporated County of Los Alamos. In other words, this is not a broadly competed solicitation; it is a targeted intent-to-award notice naming the local county government as the partner for delivering the shuttle service.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out, rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The total estimated funding amount shown is $150,000. No award ceiling or floor is specified in the listing (both are shown as $0), which usually means the public posting is not using those fields to define the range, not that the award has no value. A cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated as "Yes," meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal share in some form, though the notice itself does not provide the percentage or detailed match rules.
Eligibility is effectively limited by design. While the general eligibility field is labeled "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the accompanying eligibility language makes it clear that the action is intended for the Incorporated County of Los Alamos to operate or support the shuttle connection from White Rock to Bandelier National Monument. This suggests a local-government partnership where the county is positioned as the logical operator or coordinator for transit services serving residents and visitors in the immediate area.
Timing-wise, this notice moved very quickly. It was posted and created on May 31, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 1, 2012, and it was archived on June 2, 2012. That short window is consistent with a notice of intent to award rather than an open competitive opportunity, since the purpose is mainly to provide public notice of the agency's plan to make an award to a specified entity.
