Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) grant opportunity titled "NATIONAL PARK SERVICE, TRAIL REHABILITATION PROJECT ALONG THE NATCHEZ TRACE NATIONAL SCENIC TRAIL" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOINATR100025) is a discretionary funding announcement focused on on-the-ground trail and drainage repairs at the Natchez Trace Parkway. The work is intended to improve trail safety, usability, and long-term sustainability by addressing erosion issues and rehabilitating trail infrastructure and tread surfaces along the Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail.
The project scope is centered on hands-on rehabilitation and maintenance activities. Planned work includes repairing trail-related structures such as boardwalks, bridges, and turnpikes, along with installing drainage features like culverts and waterbars to better manage stormwater. Crews are also expected to re-route segments of trail when necessary, which typically means adjusting alignments to avoid problematic wet areas, reduce grades, or prevent repeated erosion. In addition, the project calls for cleaning out existing culverts to restore proper water flow and reduce washouts. Trail surfaces and approach areas to bridges and boardwalks will be rebuilt or improved as needed, including the placement of #7 washed slag (or other suitable fill material) to stabilize the tread and reduce muddy or eroded conditions.
From a funding and award structure standpoint, this opportunity is offered as a Cooperative Agreement, with an estimated total funding amount of $57,260 and an award ceiling of $57,260 (the award floor is listed as $0). Only one award was expected. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the listing is associated with CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which aligns with conservation corps-style field work and youth or service-based conservation programming. The announcement indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient would need to contribute non-federal resources (cash or eligible in-kind contributions) consistent with the terms of the agreement.
Eligibility is effectively limited by the nature of the posting. Although the general eligible applicant field is broad ("Others" with clarification in the eligibility text), the opportunity is explicitly described as a Notice of Intent (NOI) to award to the Student Conservation Association (SCA). In practical terms, an NOI like this signals that NPS planned to issue a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement, and that the award was competed under internal NPS procedures rather than being open for broad external competition at the time of posting.
Key timeline details show the opportunity was posted and created on May 24, 2010, with an original and current closing date of June 2, 2010, and an archive date of July 2, 2010.
