Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0124
The opportunity titled "Repair/Restore Historic Sidewalks & Crosswalks within Park" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 18 NERO 0124) is a National Park Service notice explaining its intent to make an award, rather than an open call for new applications. In other words, the National Park Service (within the Department of the Interior) is using this posting as a public notice that it plans to issue a task agreement under an existing master cooperative agreement that has already been competed previously, or that has been justified as a single-source arrangement. Because of that structure, the announcement is not inviting the public to submit proposals in response to this listing.
This is categorized as a discretionary opportunity and the funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement. Cooperative agreements typically indicate that the agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project in collaboration with the recipient, which fits many park preservation and restoration efforts where work must align closely with historic preservation standards, park operations, and federal requirements. The activity category is listed as "Employment, Labor and Training," which can signal that the work may involve a partner organization that provides a trained workforce, work-based learning, or conservation corps style labor as part of completing the repair and restoration tasks.
The funding is associated with CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number 15.940, and the posting indicates an expected single award (Expected Awards: 1). The award ceiling is listed as $28,122, meaning the maximum anticipated federal amount for this task agreement is about twenty-eight thousand dollars. The creation date for the notice is August 8, 2018, with an original closing date of August 17, 2018, which in this context functions more as an administrative timeline for the notice rather than a standard application deadline for competing submissions.
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with a note to see an additional eligibility field for clarification, but the key practical takeaway is that this is not a competitive opportunity open to new applicants through this announcement. It is essentially a transparency and compliance posting that the National Park Service intends to proceed with a specific task agreement under an already-established cooperative framework to complete preservation-related work focused on repairing or restoring historic sidewalks and crosswalks within a park.Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0124
