Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, listed as Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC00855, is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to fund a specific project focused on repairing boundary fencing at Dinosaur National Monument. The work is targeted in two areas of the monument: the Red Wash area on the west side and the Bear Valley Springs area on the south side. The overall purpose is straightforward: restore and improve boundary fences that help define and protect park lands, reduce unauthorized access or trespass, and support responsible land and resource management in and around the monument.
The opportunity is categorized as a discretionary award and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, meaning the NPS anticipates an active role in overseeing or collaborating on the project rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The funding activity category is listed as Education, which aligns with the program context described in the announcement: the work is to be carried out under the 21st Century Conservation Service Corps Program, specifically within its Youth Engagement and Development component. In practice, that framing typically reflects projects where young people gain job skills, conservation experience, and workforce development benefits while completing tangible stewardship and maintenance work on public lands.
Importantly, this announcement is not an open solicitation and is not a request for applications. It is explicitly described as a noncompetitive, single-source action under Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). The eligibility section clarifies that the intended recipient is the Rocky Mountain Youth Corps, and the listing of "EligibleApplicants: Others" is essentially superseded by the statement that the announcement is a single source award. In other words, outside organizations are not expected to apply because the agency has already identified the partner organization and is publishing the notice to document the intent to award noncompetitively.
The financial details are narrowly defined. The estimated total funding is $26,400, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $26,400, indicating a fixed anticipated award amount rather than a range. The opportunity also indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, which means the recipient is expected to contribute some portion of project costs through cash, in-kind contributions, or other allowable matching resources, consistent with the terms of the cooperative agreement and program rules.
The timeline reflects the administrative nature of the posting rather than a competitive application window. The opportunity was posted and created on June 3, 2015, with an original and current closing date of June 10, 2015, and an archive date of July 10, 2015. Because it is a notice of intent for a noncompetitive award, these dates function more as public notice milestones than as deadlines for prospective applicants.
For additional documentation, the announcement references an attached notice for more information, and it provides a point of contact for access issues: Katie Gaertner, Grants Management Specialist (phone number not fully provided in the text shown). The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.931, titled "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which reinforces that the central goal is conservation-related work performed through a youth service framework rather than a traditional infrastructure contract.
