Opportunity Summary:
The Backcountry Trail Repairs grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIBAND101008) was issued by the National Park Service as a discretionary cooperative agreement focused on natural resource stewardship through trail maintenance work at Bandelier National Monument. The stated purpose of the task agreement is the continual development and maintenance of the monument's trail system, with an emphasis on backcountry trail repairs and related upkeep needed to keep routes functional, safe, and sustainable for visitors and resource protection.
This announcement was primarily informational in nature rather than a broad, open competition. It functioned as a Notice of Intent to award a task agreement to the Rocky Mountain Youth Corps under an existing cooperative agreement, and it was tied to CFDA 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations. In practical terms, that means the work was intended to be carried out by a youth service conservation corps partner already positioned to support National Park Service field operations, likely involving supervised crews performing hands-on trail work such as tread repair, drainage improvements, erosion control, brushing and clearing, minor structure or feature maintenance, and other routine trail system maintenance activities consistent with NPS standards.
The opportunity listed an estimated total funding amount of $50,000, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. It anticipated a single award, and no award ceiling or floor was specified in the notice. The posting date and creation date were both September 1, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 2, 2011, and an archive date of September 4, 2011, reflecting the short window typical of a notice of intent when an agency is documenting an intended award rather than soliciting proposals from a wide applicant pool.
Eligibility was labeled as "Others" with additional clarification stating that the notice was for informational purposes only and specifically referenced the intended recipient. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the contact provided was Rhonda Martinez, Contract Specialist, National Park Service, reachable by phone at 505-988-6042.
