Opportunity Summary:
The Habitat Protection at Fort Baker opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOI J8151100128) was a National Park Service discretionary funding announcement focused on natural resources work at historic Fort Baker. The project was set up as a cooperative agreement, meaning the National Park Service planned to work closely with the selected partner rather than simply issuing a standard grant with minimal federal involvement. The core goal was to protect habitat and park resources by improving trail conditions and reducing impacts from erosion, informal trail use, and related disturbance in sensitive areas.
The main work described centered on trail realignment and ongoing trail maintenance at Fort Baker. Realignment typically involves rerouting sections of trail to more sustainable locations, closing or restoring problem segments, and improving drainage and tread design so that trails hold up better during wet weather and heavy use. Maintenance activities commonly include clearing vegetation where appropriate, repairing trail surfaces, improving water diversion features, and addressing erosion or safety issues. Taken together, these actions are generally intended to keep visitors on durable routes, limit trampling and off-trail travel, and reduce sediment or runoff impacts on surrounding habitat.
Beyond trail work, the announcement emphasized accompanying resource protection tasks, specifically resource compliance, revegetation, and site protection. Resource compliance refers to completing the environmental and cultural reviews and documentation needed to ensure the work meets applicable requirements (for example, reviewing potential effects on natural resources, sensitive species, wetlands, or cultural/historic features associated with Fort Baker). Revegetation typically means replanting native species and stabilizing soils in areas disturbed by construction or by the closure of unofficial trails, with the aim of restoring natural habitat and preventing invasive species from taking hold. Site protection can include measures such as installing barriers or signs to discourage use of closed areas, protecting newly restored ground while plants establish, and implementing practical steps that prevent recurring damage.
The opportunity anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $255,000, with an award ceiling of $255,000 and no required cost share or match. Although the eligible applicant category listed certain nonprofits, the eligibility note made clear this was intended as a single-source award to Conservation Corps North Bay, reflecting the collaborative nature of the project and the Corps role in field-based conservation and trail crews. The posting and creation date was June 17, 2010, with a closing date of June 21, 2010, and an archive date of July 21, 2010, indicating a short open period consistent with a notice of intent to make a directed award.
The administering agency was the National Park Service, and the contact listed for access issues or questions about the full announcement was Carol Axley, Contracting Officer, reachable at 415-561-4793 or carolaxley@nps.gov.
