Opportunity Summary:
The MUWO and GGNRA General Trail Maintenance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00305) is a National Park Service (NPS) notice announcing its intent to fund a specific trail maintenance project through a cooperative agreement. It is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent to Award to CCNB and is not a request for applications, meaning the announcement is meant to inform the public that the award will be made under an existing agreement rather than to solicit proposals from new applicants.
The purpose of the task agreement is to support implementation of the Golden Gate National Parks 2015 Trail Maintenance Plan by carrying out recurring, annual trail maintenance across Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) and Muir Woods National Monument (MUWO). The work window covered by the agreement runs from 09/30/2014 to 09/30/2016, reflecting a multi-year maintenance effort rather than a one-time project. The on-the-ground scope is practical and safety-focused, including clearing and brushing vegetation along trail corridors, cleaning drainage features, repairing waterbars and check steps, and removing downed trees and similar obstructions. In plain terms, the project centers on keeping trails passable, reducing erosion and water damage, and improving overall trail durability for heavy public use.
A key feature of the project is the collaborative staffing model. CCNB crews are expected to work alongside NPS trail maintenance staff as an integrated team to complete the required maintenance. Beyond producing well-maintained trails, the partnership is also designed as a workforce development and educational pipeline: it aims to give CCNB corps members hands-on, field-based experience in resource management practices while simultaneously delivering tangible public benefits, namely safer and better maintained trails that support recreation and educational use in the parks.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as a discretionary funding action using a cooperative agreement, and it falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category (CFDA 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship). The announcement anticipates a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $450,000. The published award range lists a floor of $230,000 and a ceiling of $450,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated. While the general eligibility field references 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), the notice makes clear that the intended recipient is CCNB under an existing cooperative agreement associated with CCNB and GOGA, reinforcing that this is not an open competition.
The notice was posted on Aug 29, 2014 (created Aug 27, 2014), with an original and current closing date of Sep 5, 2014, and an archive date of Sep 27, 2014. For access issues or administrative questions, the listed contact is Kristina Bliss, Agreements Specialist, at 805-370-2321 or kristinabliss@nps.gov, and the public listing references Grants.gov as the additional information link.
