Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity, titled "Assist with a variety of maintenance and trail projects at Bandelier National Monument," is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding announcement issued as a Notice of Intent (NOI). The NPS is signaling its plan to make a single cooperative agreement award to American Conservation Experience (ACE) under an already-established national youth program agreement. The work would support maintenance and trail-related projects at Bandelier National Monument in Los Alamos, New Mexico, and it falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category. The relevant CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) listing is 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which indicates the emphasis is on conservation work carried out through youth service or conservation corps-style organizations.
From a funding standpoint, the estimated total funding amount is $48,000, with one expected award. The posting date and creation date are both June 11, 2012, and the opportunity closed almost immediately, with an original and current closing date of June 12, 2012, and an archive date of June 13, 2012. That timing aligns with the fact that this is not a typical open competition announcement; instead, it is an NOI describing an intended award to a specific organization through an existing agreement vehicle. The listing shows no award ceiling or floor (both are recorded as 0), which generally means the specific funding level is handled within the task agreement details rather than being expressed as a range within the public synopsis.
The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which usually means the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply issuing funds. In practical terms, cooperative agreements often involve federal participation in planning, oversight, coordination, technical guidance, or project management as the work is carried out. The announcement also states there is a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute a portion of the project cost through cash and/or allowable in-kind contributions, consistent with the terms of the underlying youth program agreement and applicable federal grant rules.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," but the narrative eligibility information clarifies the intent: the task agreement is planned for American Conservation Experience specifically. The public contact for assistance with accessing the full announcement is Trish Fresquez Hernandez, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 505-988-6122. The opportunity number is NPSNOIBAND120255, and the issuing agency is the National Park Service.
