Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "NATIONAL PARK SERVICE RECOVERY ACT Install Fences to Protect Visitors and Preserve Resource Habitat at the Vulcan Mine and Others, Mojave National Preserve, California," is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding opportunity released under the Recovery Act. The project focus is straightforward: installing fencing at the Vulcan Mine and additional locations within Mojave National Preserve in California to improve visitor safety and protect sensitive natural and cultural resource areas. The overall intent is to reduce hazards to the public around mine features and other high-risk areas while also limiting damage to surrounding habitat and resources that can occur when visitors or vehicles access fragile or restricted zones.
The opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement during the project, such as coordinating on technical requirements, site-specific compliance considerations, and implementation oversight. The funding activity category is listed as "Recovery Act," aligning it with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act-era investments intended to support conservation, infrastructure, and public benefit projects. The CFDA program number connected to the posting is 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which signals that the work may be consistent with conservation-oriented field projects and could potentially be implemented using conservation crews or similar on-the-ground capacity, depending on how the recipient structures delivery.
The total estimated funding for the award is $247,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $247,000. In practical terms, that means the NPS anticipated making one award for a fixed amount rather than issuing a range of possible award sizes. The expected number of awards is one. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award, which can make participation simpler for eligible applicants.
Eligibility for this announcement is limited to state governments. The posting date and creation date are both November 12, 2009. The application window was short, with an original and current closing date of November 23, 2009. The archive date is December 23, 2009, indicating the opportunity is no longer active and has been moved into an archived status after the close of the competition period.
For access to the full announcement details, the listing references Grants.gov and provides an additional information link formatted as "www//grants.gov" (noting that the link appears in a simplified or incomplete form in the source data). The point of contact for applicant support is Tekla Vines, Contract Specialist, with phone number 707-951-4872 and email teklavines@nps.gov. The contact note specifically states that applicants having difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically should reach out to that contact, which suggests the agency expected electronic access but provided a direct support channel if technical issues arose.
In summary, this was a single-award, fixed-amount cooperative agreement opportunity from the National Park Service during the Recovery Act period, aimed at funding fencing installation projects in Mojave National Preserve to protect visitors from hazards (especially around mine-related features like the Vulcan Mine) and to preserve resource habitat by controlling access and reducing impacts to sensitive areas.
