Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award related to the El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail. It is not an open solicitation and it is not asking the public to submit applications. Instead, the NPS is issuing this notice to meet public transparency requirements (cited as 505 DM 2.12) and to announce its intent to make a non-competitive task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement. The intended recipient is the El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail Association.
The purpose of the planned award is to support work that protects and preserves the historic integrity of the El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail and advances public understanding of the trail and its resources. The notice emphasizes several outcomes: safeguarding the trail's historical character, promoting its role in tourism and economic development for communities along the route, and educating the public about the trail's resources and related opportunities. In practical terms, this kind of assistance typically supports coordinated preservation and stewardship activities, interpretive and educational efforts, and outreach that helps residents and visitors engage with the trail while maintaining the trail's cultural and historic values.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, the listing identifies the opportunity as discretionary funding using a cooperative agreement instrument, categorized under National Trails, with an expected number of awards listed as one. The associated CFDA program number is 15.935 (National Trails System Projects). The estimated total funding amount shown is $92,500. The listing indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement. Award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which commonly appears in notices like this when the agency is announcing intent rather than competing a defined range through an application process, even though an estimated total amount is provided.
Key dates in the posting show it was posted and created on July 23, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 2, 2015, and an archive date of September 1, 2015. Because this is not a request for applications, those dates function more as the public notice window rather than a deadline for proposal submissions. Eligibility is effectively limited to the named organization because the agency is proceeding with a non-competitive task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement, rather than opening eligibility to a broader applicant pool.
For questions or difficulty accessing the full announcement, the contact listed is Trish Fresquez Hernandez, Contract Specialist, at 505-988-6122 (NPS).
