Opportunity Summary:
The Valley Forge Alternative Transportation Pilot Shuttle Project Year 3 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 11 NERO 0032) is a National Park Service notice stating the agency's intent to make a continuation award under a cooperative agreement, rather than a competitive grant. In plain terms, it is a public announcement that the National Park Service plans to fund a specific set of project activities tied to an existing partnership and agreement, and it is not inviting new applications. The notice is labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award" and explicitly says it is not a request for applications, meaning outside organizations generally cannot apply for this particular funding action.
This award is being issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, within the environment activity category, and it is structured as a cooperative agreement. The funding is intended to support Year 3 of an alternative transportation pilot shuttle effort associated with Valley Forge, with the work being carried out through Task Agreement P11AT00096 under Cooperative Agreement H4860080008. The identified cooperator is the Greater Valley Forge Transportation Management Association, and the notice indicates the Park Service intends to fund this cooperator without full and open competition, which typically reflects a continuation of previously funded work, an established partner relationship, or a specific rationale documented by the agency.
The total anticipated funding amount is $237,000, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $237,000, signaling a single, fixed expected award amount rather than a range. The announcement anticipates one award and does not require cost sharing or a matching contribution. The opportunity is categorized as continuation funding, reinforcing that it is part of an ongoing project rather than a new competitive program round. While the listing includes an eligibility category (nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education), the practical effect of the notice is that the funding is intended for the named cooperator under the referenced existing cooperative agreement, not for general distribution among eligible applicants.
Key dates reflect the administrative posting window rather than an application period: it was posted and created on April 13, 2011, with an original and current closing date of April 19, 2011, and it was archived on April 20, 2011. Anyone needing the full announcement details is directed to the attachment referenced on the funding page, and for access issues the contact person listed is Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, at 215-597-0056.
