Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity, titled "Second Phase - Continue to Pilot an Alternative Fueled Transportation Program" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 11 NERO 0108), is a National Park Service (NPS) notice announcing the agency's intent to make a continuation award under a cooperative agreement. It is explicitly labeled as a NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD and not a request for applications, meaning the NPS is not seeking proposals from the public and there is no open competition for this funding.
The award is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates an arrangement where the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out, rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The activity category is Transportation, and the project focus is continuing a pilot program related to alternative-fueled transportation. The announcement describes this as a "second phase," suggesting the work builds on a prior phase already underway, likely to continue testing, operating, expanding, or evaluating an alternative fuel transportation approach connected to NPS-related transportation needs or park-area mobility.
The NPS states it intends to fund specific project activities without full and open competition, naming the recipient in advance: the Town of Woodstock, Vermont, under Cooperative Agreement P11AC40810. The funding is therefore essentially earmarked for this named municipal partner as a continuation action, rather than being available to a broad pool of eligible entities. Even though the "Eligible Applicants" field lists "City or township governments," the text makes clear that this particular notice is issued to inform the public of the NPS's planned noncompetitive continuation award to a specific local government partner.
Financially, the opportunity indicates an estimated total funding amount of $220,000, with an award ceiling and floor both set at $220,000, signaling that the NPS anticipated a single award at that exact amount. The number of expected awards is listed as 1. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the federal support.
In terms of timing and status, the notice was posted and created on September 7, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 12, 2011, and it was archived on September 13, 2011. Those dates function more as an administrative window for public posting and recordkeeping than as an application deadline, since the announcement is not soliciting applications.
For anyone needing additional documentation, the notice references an attachment under the "Full Announcement" section for complete details. The contact listed for help accessing the full announcement is Peggy Wall, Administrative Officer, reachable by phone at 410-260-2473, and the recipient entity referenced is the Town of Woodstock.
