Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) grant opportunity titled "Completion of the Trestle Stabilization Program at Golden Spike National Historic Site" is a discretionary funding action intended to support natural resource work within the National Park System, specifically focused on completing a stabilization program for a trestle at Golden Spike National Historic Site. The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, and the action is being carried out under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), meaning it is structured as a task agreement within an established cooperative research and technical assistance framework rather than a typical open competition.
This notice is explicitly not a request for applications. It is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award, citing Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for awarding without competition. The announcement states that the intended recipient is the University of New Mexico, and eligible applicants are therefore not broadly solicited; the listing indicates "Others" only because the system requires an eligibility category, but the accompanying eligibility note clarifies that the award is single-source.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. NPS anticipated making one award with an estimated total funding amount of $60,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement identified. The listing does not specify an award ceiling or floor (both are shown as zero), which typically indicates the funding amount is defined by the internal task agreement rather than through a competitive range.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on September 13, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 17, 2011, and an archive date of October 17, 2011. Because it is not an open solicitation, the "closing date" functions more as an administrative timeline for public notice rather than a deadline for submitting proposals from the general public.
For additional details or assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
