Opportunity Summary:
The Public Access Project for Cat Point Creek (STSP) is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior funding notice that serves as a "Notice of Intent to Award," meaning it is not an open call for applications and is not requesting proposals from the public. Instead, the announcement is mainly about transparency: NPS is publicly stating its plan to enter into a specific cooperative agreement action without full and open competition. The work is tied to Task Agreement P14AC01567 under an existing Cooperative Agreement (P12AC30745) with the Menokin Foundation, Inc., which indicates the agency already has an established partnership mechanism in place and intends to use it to carry out the described project activities.
This opportunity is listed as continuation funding and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. Cooperative agreements typically imply substantial involvement by the federal agency in the project, such as coordination, technical support, or collaboration during implementation, rather than a simple pass-through grant. The activity category is aligned with education, environment, and natural resources, and it is associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 15.935, National Trails System Projects. The title and categorization suggest the effort is meant to support public access improvements connected to Cat Point Creek, likely within the context of a trail, heritage, or public use initiative that fits the National Trails System mission, although the specific scope details are referenced as being in an attachment in the full announcement.
Financially, the award is set at a total of $99,000, with the award ceiling and floor both listed as $99,000. That structure usually signals a single, fixed expected award amount rather than a range. Only one award is anticipated. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, so the recipient is not expected to provide a required non-federal match as a condition of the award. While the eligibility field in the posting notes that eligible applicants are 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding institutions of higher education), in practice this particular notice is not competitively available because NPS is specifically announcing its intention to award to the Menokin Foundation, Inc. under the referenced existing cooperative agreement and task agreement.
In terms of timing and status, the notice was posted on August 28, 2014, with an original and current closing date of September 2, 2014, and an archive date of September 3, 2014. For notices like this, the "closing date" functions more like the end of a public notice period rather than an application deadline, since the agency is not soliciting applications. Anyone needing the complete details was directed to consult the attachment under the full announcement, and the contact listed for access issues is Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-0056.
