Opportunity Summary:
The Notice of Intent titled "Lake Meredith National Recreation Area Multi-use Trail System Project" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00106) is a discretionary National Park Service funding opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI-NPS). It is structured as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.931 (Natural Resources). The opportunity was posted and created on April 12, 2016, with an application closing date of April 22, 2016. The funding opportunity anticipates a single award, with an award ceiling of $102,314.
This announcement is tied directly to an existing cooperative agreement (P15AC00015) between the National Park Service and American Conservation Experience (ACE). The intent is to implement a task agreement under that existing umbrella agreement, meaning the previously established terms and conditions govern the work funded through this specific project. The core purpose of the underlying cooperative agreement is youth involvement in the care, stewardship, and enhancement of public lands and resources, using structured conservation service experiences to complete priority park projects.
The project itself focuses on developing and improving a multi-use trail system at Lake Meredith National Recreation Area. ACE youth crews are expected to assist with trail construction and repair work, particularly in undeveloped areas of the park. The scope includes general site preparation activities needed before trail building can proceed, hands-on trail construction, and vegetation management work to clear and maintain the trail corridor. It also includes removing other unwanted elements from the trail tread to create a safe, durable, and usable trail surface.
In terms of deliverables, the work targets approximately 8 miles of new trail construction along with rehabilitation or repair of existing trail segments as needed. A notable objective is to open up access to a portion of the park that relatively few visitors have previously experienced, suggesting the new trail alignment will expand recreational opportunities while distributing visitation more broadly across the recreation area. Eligible applicants are listed generally as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full posting, but the description makes clear that the project is designed around participation by American Conservation Experience under the established cooperative agreement framework.
