Opportunity Summary:
The Department of the Interior, National Park Service issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Reduce Deferred Maintenance at Historic Sites within Cane River NHA" (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00058). The effort is structured as a cooperative agreement under the Community Development funding activity category (CFDA 15.939). Rather than being an open, competitive grant solicitation, the announcement is specifically meant to give public notice that the National Park Service intends to fund a particular federal financial assistance project without full and open competition, meaning applicants are not being asked to submit proposals in response to this notice.
The purpose of the project is to address deferred maintenance at selected historic resources located within the Cane River National Heritage Area (CRNHA). Even though both Cane River-related entities, the park and the heritage area, were established in 1994, the notice explains that several historic sites within the heritage area have not received regular maintenance over time. As a result, the project focuses on practical repairs and maintenance work intended to stabilize and improve conditions at three named locations: Bermuda Bridge, Fort Jessup, and Los Adaes. The funding is directed toward carrying out those on-the-ground repair and maintenance activities to reduce the backlog of unmet upkeep needs.
A central feature of the opportunity is the reliance on an existing partnership framework. The notice states that the National Park Service (referencing CARI) plans to work with its legislatively mandated partner, the Cane River National Heritage Area (CRNHA), to accomplish the project scope and tasks. In other words, the work is intended to be delivered through a formal partnership relationship that already exists by law, and the cooperative agreement mechanism reflects that collaborative approach, where the federal agency typically expects substantial involvement in coordinating, guiding, or overseeing the work compared with a standard grant.
The announcement lists an award ceiling of $115,500. It also lists "Expected Awards: 0," which aligns with the fact that this is not a request for applications; the agency is announcing its intent to make an award in a noncompetitive context rather than forecasting multiple competitive awards. The creation date of the notice is March 14, 2019, and the "closing date" field reiterates that there is no application deadline because the notice is informational and intended solely to satisfy public notice requirements for the planned award.
Eligibility information is included, but in practical terms it is less relevant for this particular notice because the agency is not seeking submissions. The eligible applicant category is described as "Nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education." That eligibility description is consistent with the intended partner arrangement described in the notice, where the National Park Service aims to carry out the maintenance work through coordination with its mandated heritage area partner to complete repairs at the specified historic sites.
