Opportunity Summary:
The Continental Divide National Scenic Trail Planning and Improvements opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIELMA110012) is a National Park Service discretionary funding action focused on natural resources work associated with the National Trails System. Rather than an open call for broad competition, the announcement functions as a notice of intent to make a single award by issuing a Task Agreement under an existing Cooperative Agreement. The intended recipient is Southwest Conservation Corps, and the NPS notes that the selection and competition were handled through internal National Park Service procedures.
The opportunity is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates a project where the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during planning and implementation, as opposed to a standard grant with less day-to-day federal participation. The listing is associated with CFDA 15.935 (National Trails System Projects), tying the work directly to trail-related planning and improvement activities connected to the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail.
Financially, the announcement shows an estimated total funding amount of $65,000, with one expected award. The published award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which commonly appears in notices like this when the precise ceiling/floor fields are not used in the posting or when the funding amount is handled through the task agreement terms rather than a standard competitive range format. The opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or in-kind support) as part of the overall project cost structure, consistent with many cooperative agreements in trail and conservation programs.
The timeline indicates the notice was posted on June 1, 2011, with an original and current closing date of June 2, 2011, and an archive date of June 3, 2011. That very short window is consistent with a notice-of-intent posting that primarily serves transparency and public notice purposes rather than soliciting a broad pool of applicants. Eligibility is not presented as generally open; it is effectively limited by the intent to award to Southwest Conservation Corps under an existing agreement, with the posting indicating that additional eligibility clarification would be found in the related eligibility information text.
