Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), through its National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance program (CFDA 15.939), posted a notice titled "Task Agreement with Heritage Development Partnership, Inc." (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 13 NERO 0120). This notice is not a competitive funding opportunity and is not requesting applications from the public. Instead, it serves as an announcement that NPS is continuing an existing cooperative agreement with Heritage Development Partnership, Inc. (HDP) to carry out specific work supporting Heritage Development Partnerships, with a focus on National Heritage Areas (NHAs) in the NPS Northeast Region and potentially beyond.
Under the continued cooperative agreement, HDP is responsible for moving forward with a contract-based effort to develop Economic Impact Studies for NHAs. The work described includes establishing and continuing the contractual arrangement needed to produce these studies, taking the lead role in developing and drafting the contract for the required services, and providing ongoing guidance to the consultant teams performing the work. HDP is also expected to plan and participate in coordination calls that help steer the initiative, manage the practical logistics required to set the project up and ensure it is completed on time, and deliver progress updates along with final reporting of study findings to the National Heritage Areas in the Northeast Region.
The posting lists the funding instrument as a cooperative agreement and categorizes the opportunity as mandatory, reflecting that it is a continuation with an existing partner rather than an open solicitation. The total estimated funding is $40,200, and both the award floor and award ceiling are also set at $40,200, indicating a single expected award at that exact amount. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated. While the eligibility field references nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), the notice repeatedly clarifies that eligibility is effectively moot here because applications are not being accepted; the agreement is being continued with the named cooperator.
Key dates in the announcement include a posted and creation date of August 15, 2013, an original and current closing date of August 20, 2013, and an archive date of August 21, 2013. For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed contact is Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, at 215-597-9153.
