Opportunity Summary:
The opportunity titled "Engaging Youth in Trail Restoration at Lassen Volcanic National Park in partnership with the California Conservation Corps" (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00326) is a National Park Service (NPS) notice stating its intent to make a single award through a cooperative agreement. This announcement is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not an open call and not a Request for Applications. Its purpose is to provide public notice that NPS plans to fund specific project activities without full and open competition, using an existing relationship structure rather than soliciting proposals from multiple applicants.
The planned work centers on natural resource and conservation activities, specifically trail restoration at Lassen Volcanic National Park, with a strong youth engagement component. The project is intended to be carried out in partnership with the California Conservation Corps, which is identified as the proposed cooperator. The funding is being issued under an umbrella cooperative agreement that already exists between NPS and the organization, and the trail restoration effort would be implemented through a task agreement under that broader cooperative framework. Additional justification for the single-source approach is referenced in an attached Notice of Intent and Single Source Justification document.
Financially, the total anticipated funding for this task agreement is not expected to exceed $200,000. The estimated total funding is listed as $200,000, with an award ceiling of $200,000 and an award floor of $0. Only one award is expected. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated for this effort, which indicates the project is planned to be supported entirely through the federal award amount rather than requiring the partner to contribute a required match.
From an eligibility and administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument type, which typically implies substantial involvement by the federal agency in the execution or oversight of the project compared to a standard grant. The funding activity category is Natural Resources. The CFDA number associated with the program is 15.931, labeled "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," aligning with the youth-focused conservation and restoration theme of the project. Although "Eligible Applicants" is listed as state governments, the posting makes clear that the intended recipient for this particular action is the California Conservation Corps under the established cooperative agreement mechanism.
Key dates show the announcement was posted and created on September 2, 2014, with an original and current closing date of September 4, 2014, and an archive date of September 12, 2014. Given that this is not a competitive solicitation, these dates function more as notice and recordkeeping milestones than as a standard application deadline window for interested applicants.
