Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Conducting Trail Maintenance" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOIFLFO11005) is a National Park Service discretionary funding notice connected to natural resource stewardship work at Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument. The activity is structured as a cooperative agreement and is focused on practical, on-the-ground trail maintenance intended to protect trail surfaces and surrounding resources. The core purpose of the task agreement is to carry out maintenance that specifically includes the installation, repair, or upkeep of drainage structures and other erosion control features, which are commonly used to manage water flow, reduce trail degradation, and minimize sediment movement that can impact both visitor access and sensitive natural or paleontological resources.
This notice is explicitly labeled "for informational purposes only" and functions as a Notice of Intent to award, rather than an open competitive solicitation. The National Park Service indicates it intends to issue a task agreement to the Colorado Youth Corps Association under an existing cooperative agreement, meaning the work is planned to be completed through that established partnership framework rather than through a new competition open to all applicants. While the listing includes an "Eligible Applicants" category of "Others," the eligibility clarification makes clear that the intended recipient is the Colorado Youth Corps Association for trail maintenance work within the monument boundaries.
In terms of funding details, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $63,300, with one expected award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which aligns with youth corps-style conservation and maintenance projects that often combine workforce development with resource management outcomes.
The timeline reflects that this was a short-window, time-limited notice: it was posted on July 19, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 20, 2012, and archived on July 21, 2012. This timing further supports that it was not intended as a broadly advertised, long-open competition, but rather as a formal public notice documenting an intended award decision already in motion.
For access issues or questions tied to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Rhonda Martinez, Contract Specialist with the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 505-988-6042.
