Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity, titled "Ditch De silting, vegetation removal, erosion control and earthwork preperations" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOISAAN10023), was issued by the National Park Service as a discretionary funding action using a Cooperative Agreement. The work falls under the Environment activity category and is connected to on-the-ground conservation and site readiness tasks within San Antonio Missions National Historical Park. In practical terms, the project is focused on maintaining and repairing park water and landscape infrastructure, particularly acequia-related features (historic irrigation ditches), by removing accumulated sediment, clearing vegetation that interferes with function and access, addressing erosion issues, and completing general earthwork and site preparation needed to stabilize and preserve the area.
The notice makes clear that it is "for informational purposes only" and functions as a Notice of Intent rather than an open competitive solicitation. The National Park Service indicated its intent to make an award to Southwest Conservation Corps/American YouthWorks by issuing a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement already in place. Although the announcement states the award was competed in accordance with internal NPS procedures, the public posting itself was not structured as an open call inviting broad submissions. The eligibility field reflects this by listing "Others (see text field...)" and then clarifying that the intended recipient is the named youth conservation organization partner.
From a funding standpoint, the estimated total funding amount was listed as $100,000, with cost sharing or matching required. The award ceiling and floor were both shown as $0, which commonly indicates that the specific dollar limits were not being set through this posting because the action was tied to an existing agreement mechanism and task-level scope rather than a new, openly competed grant with set minimums and maximums. The opportunity anticipated a single award.
Key dates show how limited the public response window was, reinforcing that this was essentially an informational posting tied to an internal award process. The opportunity was posted on November 21, 2011, created the same day, and had an original and current closing date of November 22, 2011. It was archived on November 23, 2011. The associated CFDA number is 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which aligns with the stated intent to partner with a youth-focused conservation corps to carry out hands-on resource management and restoration-type work in a national park setting.
For anyone needing access assistance or additional details as referenced in the announcement, the listed point of contact was Rhonda Martinez, Contract Specialist, National Park Service, phone 505-988-6042.
