Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "NATIONAL PARK SERVICE RECOVERY ACT Inventory and Perform Mine Closures at Multiple Parks" is a National Park Service (NPS) effort funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to address abandoned mine safety hazards across multiple National Park System units in California. The central purpose of the project is public safety: identifying high-risk abandoned mineral land features and carrying out mine closure and hazard mitigation work to reduce or eliminate physical dangers these legacy sites pose to visitors, staff, and surrounding areas. In practical terms, the work implied by the title and description includes inventorying hazardous abandoned mine features and implementing closures or other mitigation actions at multiple park locations throughout the state, consistent with abandoned mine hazard mitigation objectives.
This opportunity is structured as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS anticipated substantial involvement or collaboration with the recipient during project execution rather than issuing a more hands-off grant. The agency explicitly stated it was a Notice of Intent to make a single-source award under Department of the Interior policy (Departmental Manual 505 DM 2). A single-source approach indicates NPS planned to fund one specific applicant without a typical competitive selection process, which often happens when an agency determines there is a unique qualified partner or a particular governmental entity is best positioned to carry out the work.
The program is associated with CFDA number 15.934, Abandoned Mine Hazard Mitigation. The opportunity anticipated one award in total, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,083,670. The award ceiling and floor were both listed as $2,083,670, which effectively means the agency expected to make one award for that exact amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility was limited to state governments. The funding opportunity number is NPS ARRAPWRO100025. Key dates show that the posting date was November 17, 2009, with an original closing date of November 27, 2009, and a current closing date listed as May 7, 2010. The archive date was June 6, 2010, indicating the opportunity is no longer active. For additional details, the notice referenced an information link to grants.gov. The listed point of contact for assistance accessing the full announcement was Tekla Vines, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 707-951-4872 or by email at teklavines@nps.gov.
