Opportunity Summary:
The BLM CA Paradise Royale Mountain Bike Trail System Phase III grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00126) was a Bureau of Land Management discretionary funding announcement focused on recreation resource management within the natural resources category. Its purpose was to finish the third phase of the Paradise Royale Mountain Bike Trail System in California and to build out related support infrastructure needed to fully function as a managed, sustainable recreation site. This Phase III effort was positioned as the next step in a long-running partnership between the BLM and the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA), which had been advancing the project through a series of cooperative assistance agreements dating back to 2005.
The project built on two earlier construction and development milestones. Phase I created a 14-mile loop that was completed in 2008, establishing the core trail experience and baseline access for riders. Phase II added a mountain bike specific terrain park in 2010 and connected it into the Phase I loop, expanding the site beyond a single loop into a more diverse riding area with purpose-built features. Phase III was intended to complete the overall trail system concept by adding the remaining planned trails and the supporting infrastructure that typically accompanies a mature trail network (for example, improvements that help with visitor flow, safety, maintenance capability, and overall site usability).
The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the BLM expected substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as coordination on planning, compliance, implementation standards, monitoring, or other shared responsibilities during delivery. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $450,000. The award ceiling was $450,000 and the award floor was listed as $500. Cost sharing or matching was not required, meaning applicants were not obligated to provide matching funds as a condition of eligibility or award.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The CFDA listing associated with the opportunity was 15.225, Recreation Resource Management, reflecting its emphasis on public-land recreation planning and management outcomes rather than research or education programming.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted on July 10, 2013, with an application closing date of July 29, 2013. The listing was later archived on October 1, 2018. Additional details and the full announcement were made available via Grants.gov at the link provided in the notice. For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Leona B. Parker, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 530-252-5338 and lparker@blm.gov.
