Opportunity Summary:
The Active Trails Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIFLFO1501344) is a National Park Service discretionary funding notice tied to natural resource work at Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument. The key point is that this is a "Notice of Intent to Award," meaning it is not an open competition and not a request for applications. Instead, the National Park Service is publicly announcing its plan to make a non-competitive task agreement award under an already existing cooperative agreement.
The intended recipient named in the notice is the Coalition for the Upper South Platte, which indicates the project work is expected to be carried out through that organization rather than selected through a new application process. The announcement is issued under the Department of the Interior policy referenced as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12, which is commonly used for public transparency when an agency plans to make a non-competitive award.
Funding is listed at an estimated total of $26,000, with one expected award. The assistance mechanism is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically implies substantial involvement by the federal agency in the project compared to a standard grant. Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the partner organization is expected to contribute resources (cash, in-kind services, or other allowable match) in addition to the federal amount. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations, suggesting the work may involve youth conservation crews or youth-focused service components supporting trail or stewardship activities.
Administrative dates show the notice was posted July 25, 2015, with a closing date of July 26, 2015, and an archive date of August 25, 2015. Those short timelines are consistent with a notice intended to inform the public of an already planned award rather than solicit new proposals. Award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which generally indicates the system fields were not used to define a competitive funding range because the amount and recipient were predetermined through the existing cooperative agreement structure.
Eligibility is effectively limited by the nature of the announcement. Although the listing displays "Others" under eligible applicants, the narrative makes clear that the planned award is non-competitive and directed to the Coalition for the Upper South Platte under an existing agreement, so other entities should not expect an opportunity to apply under this specific posting.
For questions or issues accessing the announcement, the listed contact is Trish Fresquez Hernandez, Contract Specialist, at 505-988-6122.
