Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Interpretive Services and Trail Planning at Sites Along the Columbia River" (Funding Opportunity Number J9420102007), is a discretionary National Park Service cooperative agreement focused on improving visitor interpretation and planning future trail connections at several historically significant sites along the Columbia River in Washington. The work is tied to an existing partnership framework under Cooperative Agreement H9420090098 and centers on jointly managed locations associated with Lewis and Clark history and regional coastal defense resources.
The main purpose of the project is to create a coordinated, practical schedule of interpretive programs and visitor services, including where those services should be offered across the participating sites. The sites specifically named are Station Camp, Dismal Nitch, Cape Disappointment, and Fort Columbia. These areas fall under a mix of federal and state jurisdictions: Station Camp and Dismal Nitch are within the congressionally authorized boundary of Lewis and Clark National Historical Park; Cape Disappointment is only partially within the national park boundary and includes lands owned by the National Park Service, the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission, and other federal agencies; and Fort Columbia is entirely within the boundary of a Washington state park administered by the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission. Because of this patchwork of ownership and management responsibility, a major theme of the opportunity is interagency coordination so that visitor-facing interpretation feels consistent and well planned regardless of which entity owns a particular parcel.
In addition to interpretive planning, the project includes trail planning components. The parties are expected to develop conceptual trail routes through a multi-agency team process, meaning proposed trail alignments are to be envisioned collaboratively rather than by a single land manager. Supporting that conceptual trail work, the agreement also calls for several types of surveys and baseline data collection efforts, including topographic surveys, utility surveys, real property surveys, and inventories or surveys of natural and cultural resources. In practice, these technical inputs help determine feasibility, constraints, and impacts for any future trail development by identifying terrain conditions, existing infrastructure, ownership boundaries or easements, and sensitive environmental or cultural/historic assets that must be protected or avoided.
Funding for the opportunity is fixed at an estimated total of $50,000, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $50,000, indicating the agency anticipated making a single award in that exact amount (Expected Awards: 1). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project, especially for planning work that requires coordination, review, and integration with federal standards and partner priorities.
Eligibility is narrowly defined. The listed eligible applicant is the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission, and the eligibility field notes that clarification is in the additional information on eligibility, but the provided record indicates this opportunity was essentially intended for that state agency partner rather than open competition among a broad range of applicants. The activity category is listed under Environment, and the CFDA number is shown as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which often appears in summarized records where a more specific CFDA program number is not used or not captured.
