Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity is a National Park Service notice of intent to make a single-source award for trail maintenance work at the Phleger Estate, which is part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA). The project is set up as a task agreement (Task Agreement J8147100070) to be issued under an existing cooperative agreement (H2495090023), and it is specifically aimed at getting on-the-ground trail repairs completed on roughly seven miles of trails. The focus is practical field work: providing the labor, supervision, and transportation needed to maintain and repair trails in this section of the park, with the option to do additional maintenance on other GGNRA trails if time allows.
The work described centers on improving trail sustainability and reducing erosion and user-created damage. The scope includes installing erosion control structures such as check steps and waterbars, repairing or improving the trail tread surface, adding or repairing fencing where needed, closing and rehabilitating old social trails (informal user-created paths), and carrying out general maintenance runs. In plain terms, the project is intended to stabilize trails, route water properly, keep visitors on designated routes, and reduce the long-term maintenance burden by fixing common problem areas before they get worse.
Administratively, this is categorized as a discretionary opportunity using a cooperative agreement funding instrument, and it falls under the Natural Resources activity category. The CFDA listing provided is 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations, which aligns with the intention to partner with a youth service/conservation organization. The notice states that the National Park Service intends to enter into this agreement with the Student Conservation Association, which is why it is presented as a single-source action rather than a broadly competed grant. The single expected award reflects that structure.
Funding is fixed at an estimated total of $25,000, with the award floor and ceiling both listed as $25,000, meaning the planned award amount is essentially set rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated. Eligible applicants are described as nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (other than institutions of higher education), though the notice makes clear that the agency is pursuing a specific partner for this task agreement rather than soliciting multiple competing proposals. The award is noted as being consistent with Department of Interior policy (505 DM 2), which is cited as the policy basis for this type of single-source cooperative agreement action.
Timing information in the posting shows it was posted on April 15, 2010, with an original and current closing date of April 22, 2010, and an archive date of May 22, 2010, indicating it was a short, time-limited notice primarily intended to inform the public of the agency’s planned single-source award rather than to run a long open competition. For questions or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Colleen Broussard Perry, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 916-561-4792 or by email at colleenbroussard perry@nps.gov.
