Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "The Town of Provincetown Race Point/MacMillan Pier Bicycle Connection" is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement notice stating that the Town of Provincetown has already entered into an agreement with NPS to plan, design, permit, and coordinate construction work that improves a key bicycle connection in Provincetown, Massachusetts. It is explicitly not a competitive solicitation and not a request for applications; instead, it is a public announcement that the cooperative agreement is in place and that the town will carry out a defined scope of work to strengthen bicycle safety, connectivity, and wayfinding along the route.
At a high level, the project combines planning and engineering with on-the-ground safety upgrades. Early tasks focus on developing project concepts and design alternatives, supported by surveying and other field data collection. The town will analyze traffic conditions and the available public right-of-way to shape a practical design, then produce design drawings and technical materials such as maps and illustrations for both internal review and public feedback. The agreement also puts heavy emphasis on public involvement: the town is responsible for organizing outreach, providing meeting space, creating and distributing public meeting materials (notices, posters, handouts, slide decks), and delivering presentations to local bodies including the Provincetown Board of Selectmen and the Provincetown Bicycle Committee. After incorporating feedback, the town will finalize the project design, develop a detailed spending plan for NPS approval, and manage required permitting, including coordination with Massachusetts Department of Transportation. The scope then extends into coordinating construction elements to implement the improvements.
The construction and roadway enhancement components are specific and safety-oriented, especially along Conwell Street and the connection points near Cemetery Road and Route 6. Key deliverables include widening Conwell Street where needed, clearing or removing vegetation that encroaches into the roadway space, and adding pavement markings to support bicyclists, including sharrows and bike lane striping from Cemetery Road to the start of the westbound Route 6 turn lane area. The project also calls for multiple signage improvements that go beyond basic standards in certain locations: signage at the Route 6 intersection to clearly communicate where bike lanes transition to a bike route, enhanced safety signage near the Cemetery Road/Conwell Street intersection and the curve just north of it to improve crosswalk safety, and directional signage for southbound riders on Conwell Street to guide them onto Cemetery Road. Additional safety and comfort upgrades include replacing manhole covers and catch basin grates with bicycle-friendly versions, repairing and filling gaps in shoulder paving at intersections so bike lanes remain continuous and smooth, and relocating existing signs or structures where necessary to maintain clear, usable bike lane space.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0099 and CFDA 15.954 (National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education). It shows one expected award with total funding of $119,600, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $119,600, and it notes no cost sharing or matching requirement. The eligible applicant category is city or township governments, consistent with the fact that this announcement is tied to the Town of Provincetown as the partner under the cooperative agreement. The posting date is July 28, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 1, 2014, and an archive date of August 2, 2014, reflecting that this was a time-bound public notice rather than an open call for proposals.
