Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0017
The 2017 Preservation, Restoration, and Rehabilitation of Historic Landscape at Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 17 NERO 0017) is a National Park Service notice explaining its intent to provide funding through a continuation cooperative agreement, not to open a competitive application process. In other words, it is public notification that the NPS planned to fund specific landscape preservation activities without competition because the work is being carried out as a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement already in place.
The project focuses on preserving, restoring, and rehabilitating the federally owned historic landscapes within the park's "historic zone," as that area is defined in the park's enabling legislation. The practical on-the-ground scope centers on routine and seasonal landscape care that is essential to maintaining a historic cultural landscape in appropriate condition. The listed activities include lawn mowing, maintenance of pathways, spring and fall cleanups, and arboriculture work such as tree and shrub care. These tasks support both the appearance and long-term health of the designed landscape and help protect historic character while keeping visitor areas safe and functional.
A key part of the arrangement is the role of the partner foundation. Under the terms described, the foundation agrees to assist with the preservation and maintenance work and to manage the procurement side of implementation by soliciting, selecting, and issuing sub-awards for work performed under the agreement, with NPS concurrence. The foundation also commits to bringing non-federal resources to the table by providing funds from a Woodstock Foundation-managed Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller (MBR) Fund to cover specialized or enhanced work on the historic landscape. In addition, the foundation is responsible for reviewing and approving the project proposal submitted by the NPS for work that will be funded through the MBR Fund, adding an extra layer of oversight and alignment with the fund's purpose.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this opportunity is categorized as a continuation award using a cooperative agreement, with the activity category listed as "Other" and tied to CFDA number 15.954. The notice indicates an expected single award, with an award ceiling of $44,500, and an original closing date of February 2, 2017. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," but the text makes clear that this is not an open solicitation; it is a non-competitive action under an existing agreement. The funds are to be used according to the submitted budget and workplan, and the assistance is intended to accomplish the defined preservation, restoration, and rehabilitation purposes for the park's historic landscape.Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0017
