Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Old Spanish NHT" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS IMR P12AC30315) was a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action issued under the Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance program (CFDA 15.921). It was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS anticipated having substantial involvement in the supported work rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The activity area was categorized under natural resources, and the purpose was straightforward: to provide financial assistance to Grand County, Utah, through the NPS Connect Trails to Parks Program for fiscal year 2012. In practical terms, the funding was intended to support trail and park connection efforts tied to the Old Spanish National Historic Trail (NHT) context, implemented locally through Grand County with NPS partnership.
This announcement was not an open competition. It was explicitly issued as a Notice of Intent to Award to a single source, identifying Grand County, Utah as the recipient. Because of that, the typical process of submitting applications, competing against other applicants, and receiving merit review did not apply here. The "Eligible Applicants" field broadly lists "Others," but the eligibility narrative clarifies that this was not a request for applications and that the award was intended for one specific entity. The opportunity anticipated one award in total.
Financially, the opportunity listed an estimated total funding amount of $135,333. The notice did not specify an award ceiling or floor (both were listed as 0), which commonly indicates that the agency is not using those fields to define the minimum or maximum for this particular posting, especially in single-source notices where the intended funding level is already known. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so Grand County was not required to contribute a specified non-federal share as a condition of receiving the funds.
The timeline for the posting was short and largely administrative given the single-source nature. The opportunity was posted on April 16, 2012, with an original and current closing date of April 20, 2012, and it was archived on May 20, 2012. The contact listed for access issues or assistance was Kristin ONeil, Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer, reachable by phone at 970-586-1236.
