Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes the National Park Service (NPS) intent to make a single, non-competitive award to support work that promotes public awareness of, and appreciation for, the Oregon National Historic Trail and the California National Historic Trail. It is explicitly a "Notice of Intent to Award," meaning it is not an open call for applications and not a competitive grant competition. Instead, NPS is providing public notice that it plans to issue a task agreement under an already-existing cooperative agreement, consistent with Department of the Interior policy requirements (cited as 505 DM 2.12).
The planned recipient is the National Pony Express Association, identified in the notice as the organization that will carry out the project activities. The overall purpose is to identify, preserve, interpret, and improve accessibility to the historic trails and the features associated with them, such as route segments, landmarks, and other trail-related resources. The work is framed around protecting and preserving the trails and their associated landmarks while also improving how the public can understand, experience, and access them. In practical terms, this type of scope often includes documentation and identification of trail resources, preservation support for historic features, interpretive efforts that communicate trail history, and improvements that make trail resources easier or safer for the public to reach and engage with.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The activity falls under the National Trails category and is tied to the National Trails System Projects program (CFDA 15.935). The notice anticipates one award total, with an estimated total funding amount of $158,300. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated, and the listing shows no specified award floor or ceiling (both recorded as 0), which typically signals that the dollar amount is governed by the specific task agreement terms rather than a range offered to applicants in a competitive process.
Key dates in the public notice record include a posted date and creation date of July 28, 2015, an original and current closing date of August 6, 2015, and an archive date of September 5, 2015. Even though a closing date is listed, it should be read in the context of a notice publication period rather than an application deadline, since the announcement states multiple times that it is not requesting applications.
For questions or for help accessing the full announcement, the notice provides an NPS contact: Trish Fresquez Hernandez, Contract Specialist, phone 505-988-6122.
