Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), under the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Public Transit Visitor Outreach and Education for Visitor Enjoyment and Access through Tuolumne County." This notice functions as a public disclosure that NPS planned to fund a specific set of activities through a cooperative agreement, rather than as an open, competitive grant solicitation. In other words, it was not a request for applications and it was not inviting proposals from the general public; it was announcing NPS's intent to move forward with a particular recipient and project without full and open competition.
The award mechanism identified is a Cooperative Agreement, reflecting that NPS expected to have substantial involvement in the project as it was carried out, which is typical when a federal agency anticipates collaboration, coordination, or ongoing participation in the funded activities. The cooperative agreement referenced is P12AC30509, and the intended partner is the Tuolumne County Transit Council. The eligible applicant category listed is county governments, aligning with the named recipient and the local transit and visitor-access focus of the project.
The project is categorized under an education activity area and is linked to CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number 15.954, "National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education." Based on the title and program category, the work centers on educating and informing visitors about public transit options, improving visitor awareness and use of transit services, and supporting visitor enjoyment and access in and through Tuolumne County. The emphasis on outreach and education suggests deliverables such as informational materials, visitor-facing communications, coordination with visitor gateways, or other efforts designed to make transit easier to understand and more appealing for people traveling to recreation destinations in the region, including areas associated with NPS-managed sites.
The funding details are straightforward and fixed. NPS anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $30,000. Both the award ceiling and award floor are listed as $30,000, indicating the award amount was predetermined rather than a range. The opportunity states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient was not expected to provide a formal match as a condition of receiving the federal funds.
Key dates show that the notice was posted and created on June 22, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 23, 2012, and an archive date of July 23, 2012. The extremely short window between posting and closing is consistent with the fact that this was not a competitive application process; the "closing" functions more like an administrative marker for the notice period rather than a deadline for submitting proposals.
For assistance accessing the full announcement, the notice provides a point of contact: Lilette Baltodano, Financial Agreements Officer, reachable by phone at 415-623-2251. The funding opportunity number tied to the posting is NPS PWRNOIP12AC30509, and the agency listed is the National Park Service.
