Opportunity Summary:
The Twin Cities Clean Cities Initiative in the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area (MISS) Notice of Intent (NOI) is a National Park Service discretionary grant opportunity focused on expanding and encouraging electric vehicle use by visitors within the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area corridor. The core purpose is straightforward: fund the installation of 12 EV charging stations at multiple sites along the Mississippi River within the boundaries of MISS, making it easier for visitors to travel in and around the recreation area using electric vehicles. A key feature of the project is that the charging stations are intended to be supplied with 100 percent wind-sourced electricity, emphasizing a zero-emissions approach not only from the vehicles using the chargers, but also from the electricity generation supporting them.
This announcement is explicitly labeled as an NOI and “Not a Request for Proposals,” which signals that it is not a broad competitive solicitation inviting many applicants to submit full proposals in the typical open-grants format. Instead, it functions more like a notice describing an intended award approach or planned funding action. The opportunity anticipates a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1), and the funding amount is fixed: the estimated total funding is $128,000, with an award ceiling and award floor both set at $128,000. In practical terms, that means the agency was indicating an intent to make one grant in the exact amount listed rather than awarding a range of possible grant sizes.
The eligible applicant pool is limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is listed under Environment and Health, consistent with the project’s focus on reducing transportation-related emissions and improving air quality by supporting cleaner vehicle infrastructure. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.941, which corresponds to Mississippi National River and Recreation Area State and Local Assistance.
Timing details show the opportunity was posted on June 21, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 30, 2013, and it was archived on July 30, 2013. The funding opportunity number is P13AP00046. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Grants Officer Katie Schroeder, reachable by phone at 402-661-1640. Overall, the opportunity centers on a targeted, one-time investment in visitor-facing EV charging infrastructure within MISS, paired with renewable energy sourcing to ensure the stations support truly low- to zero-emissions travel throughout the recreation area.
