Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "BLM Colorado Cooperatively manage recreation sites on public lands within Eagle County" (Funding Opportunity Number L15AS00195) was offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), under the CFDA program number 15.225, Recreation Resource Management. It was released as a discretionary funding opportunity using a Cooperative Agreement, which generally means the BLM expected to have substantial involvement in the project activities alongside the recipient, rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The funding falls under the Natural Resources activity category and was intended to support on-the-ground recreation and land stewardship work in Eagle County, Colorado.
The core purpose of the opportunity was to partner with an outside entity to collaboratively develop, build, monitor, and maintain trail infrastructure and related recreation site features on BLM-managed public lands in Eagle County. The emphasis was not only on expanding or improving trail systems, but also on making recreation safer for visitors and reducing damage or degradation to public lands. In practical terms, the project scope points to work such as trail design and construction, ongoing maintenance to keep trails sustainable and usable, and monitoring efforts that help identify problems early (for example, erosion, trail braiding, user conflicts, or impacts to sensitive habitats). The overall objective ties these activities directly to public safety outcomes and resource protection outcomes, which are common priorities in federal recreation management.
Funding availability for this opportunity was estimated at $100,000 total, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and an award floor of $2,500, and the BLM anticipated making one award. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal match funds as a condition of eligibility, though applicants sometimes still propose leveraging partner contributions as a strength. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional clarifications that would have been included in the full announcement; in other words, a wide range of potential partners could apply, such as local governments, nonprofits, trail organizations, education groups, or even certain private entities, as long as they could meet federal award requirements and any specific conditions described in the full notice.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted on June 24, 2015. The original closing date was August 24, 2015, and it was later extended to a current closing date of August 28, 2015. The record indicates an archive date of September 21, 2015, meaning the opportunity is no longer open and is retained for historical reference. The announcement materials and application package were provided through the posting system via the "Related Documents" tab (for the full announcement) and the "Application Package" tab (for the application forms and submission instructions).
For applicants who needed help accessing the full announcement electronically, the contact listed was Ruth A. Raisanen at the BLM, reachable by phone at 303-239-3605 and by email at rraisane@blm.gov.
