Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in Colorado offered a discretionary funding opportunity titled "BLM CO Development, Maintenance, and Monitoring of Mountain Bike Trails" (Funding Opportunity Number L16AS00064). The award was issued as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the BLM expected to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as coordination, technical input, or shared responsibilities during implementation. The opportunity falls under CFDA 15.225 and was posted on March 17, 2016, with an application deadline of May 17, 2016.
The purpose of the grant was to support on-the-ground work and related outreach that improves mountain bike trail systems on public lands in Colorado. The core activities emphasized were developing new trails or trail features where appropriate, maintaining existing trails, and monitoring trail conditions and use. Alongside the physical trail work, the opportunity highlighted visitor safety and protection of public lands as central outcomes. In practical terms, that points to efforts like addressing trail hazards, reducing user conflicts, preventing or repairing resource damage, and ensuring trails are built and maintained in ways that minimize erosion and impacts to vegetation, wildlife habitat, and cultural resources.
A major component of the scope also involved public education and responsible recreation. The description specifically calls for education on responsible recreational use and assistance in providing educational and informational materials. That can include producing and distributing signage, maps, brochures, trailhead information, and other communications that help riders and other visitors understand trail etiquette, seasonal closures, resource protections, and best practices such as staying on designated routes, yielding appropriately, and avoiding sensitive areas. The mention of "public involvement opportunities" indicates the BLM was also looking for support in engaging communities and recreationists, which often takes the form of volunteer trail days, partnerships with local clubs, stakeholder meetings, or other outreach that builds long-term stewardship and compliance.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to a wide range of applicant types, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications in the full notice. The funding had an award ceiling of $500,000, and the BLM anticipated making a single award. In short, this was a one-award, Colorado-focused cooperative agreement aimed at improving mountain bike trail conditions and sustainability, strengthening visitor safety, protecting public lands, and expanding education and public engagement around responsible recreation.
