Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Restoration monitoring at Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site, 2014-2016" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS-14-NERO-0128) is a National Park Service (NPS) funding notice issued as a Notice of Intent to Award. In practical terms, this is not an open call for proposals and not something organizations can apply to through a competitive application process. Instead, the NPS published it to meet public transparency requirements by announcing its plan to fund specific project activities without full and open competition, using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument.
The project falls under the NPS discretionary funding category and is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. The focus, as stated in the title, is restoration monitoring at Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site during the 2014 to 2016 period. While the announcement text does not provide technical details about the monitoring methods or exact tasks, the purpose implied by the title is to support ongoing oversight and evaluation of restoration work at the site, which typically involves documenting restoration conditions over time, tracking performance of treated areas or materials, and informing future preservation decisions.
Financially, the announcement indicates there is expected to be one award, with total estimated funding of $74,000. The award ceiling and award floor are both listed as $74,000, which strongly suggests a single, fixed award amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," but the accompanying eligibility information repeats the key point that this is not a request for applications. That typically signals that the intended recipient has already been identified through a justification process (for example, based on unique qualifications, an existing relationship, or continuity of work), and the public notice is being issued to document that the agency is proceeding without open competition.
The opportunity was posted and created on August 26, 2014. The original and current closing date are both August 31, 2014, and it was archived on September 1, 2014. Those dates are consistent with a notice-type posting, where the main goal is public notification within a limited window rather than accepting submissions. For administrative questions or help accessing the full announcement, the notice lists a contact: Patrick Reidy, Grants Management Specialist, at (215) 597-5949, with an NPS email referenced in the announcement.
