Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Maintain and rehab trails and natural landscapes," is a discretionary funding notice from the National Park Service (NPS) focused on natural resource stewardship work at Chiricahua National Monument. The core purpose of the task agreement is to carry out critical trail maintenance and rehabilitation after the monsoon rains have passed, which typically means addressing storm-related damage such as erosion, washouts, blocked drainage features, downed debris, and tread or structure failures that affect visitor access and resource protection. The work is framed as essential, time-sensitive post-monsoon trail and landscape repair intended to stabilize conditions, restore safe and sustainable trail function, and protect surrounding natural areas from ongoing impacts.
The opportunity is issued as a cooperative agreement, indicating an assistance relationship where NPS and the partner organization would collaborate to accomplish the project goals rather than a standard procurement contract. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the associated CFDA listing is 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which signals that the project aligns with conservation fieldwork often performed through organized service crews. The announcement lists an expected award count of one, suggesting NPS anticipated making a single award for the described scope of work rather than funding multiple competing projects.
In terms of funding, the estimated total amount available is $31,451. The notice lists an award ceiling and award floor of $0, which commonly appears in older postings when a specific ceiling/floor is not being used in the system fields or when the amount is otherwise governed by the task agreement structure. A cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated as "Yes," meaning the recipient would be expected to contribute some portion of project costs or in-kind support, consistent with many cooperative agreements and youth conservation partnership models.
Eligibility is not presented as open competition. The eligibility section explicitly states, "FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY," and describes the posting as a Notice of Intent to award a task agreement to the Student Conservation Association. That wording strongly indicates NPS had already identified the intended partner and was posting the notice primarily to meet transparency requirements rather than to solicit applications from the general public. The "Eligible Applicants" field is broadly labeled as "Others (see text field...)," but the accompanying eligibility narrative clarifies the intended recipient and the informational nature of the notice.
Timing details show the announcement was posted and created on Aug 26, 2011, with an original and current closing date of Aug 29, 2011, and an archive date of Aug 30, 2011. This very short open period is consistent with a notice of intent rather than a competitive funding opportunity. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Rhonda Martinez, Contract Specialist, National Park Service, phone 505-988-6042.
