Opportunity Summary:

The Palisade Lakes Trail Reconstruction opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00013) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary grant to support on-the-ground trail maintenance and natural resource restoration in Kings Canyon National Park. The project focuses on work in both the frontcountry (more accessible, developed areas) and designated wilderness areas, indicating that crews will be addressing high-use recreation corridors as well as more remote backcountry segments where environmental impacts, erosion, or trail degradation can be harder to manage and more sensitive to fix. The overall purpose is practical, field-based conservation: rehabilitating trail infrastructure and restoring affected natural resources so visitor access can continue in a way that protects park landscapes.

The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means NPS expects to be actively involved in project planning, coordination, oversight, and possibly technical guidance while the partner carries out much of the implementation. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA listing is 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations, aligning the work with conservation crew-based field projects that build stewardship capacity while delivering measurable park improvements.

A single award is anticipated, with total estimated funding of $80,000. The award ceiling and floor are both listed at $80,000, which signals a fixed award amount rather than a competitive range. The opportunity also includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash, in-kind labor, equipment, or other allowable contributions) consistent with the cooperative agreement terms.

Eligibility is limited to state governments, and in practice the notice makes clear this is not an open competition. Applications will not be accepted from any cooperator except the California Conservation Corps (CCC); it is explicitly described as a notice of intent to award to CCC. In other words, the NPS is publishing the opportunity to document its intention to fund a specific partner for this specific project rather than soliciting proposals broadly from multiple applicants.

The opportunity was posted and created on March 14, 2013, and archived on March 29, 2013, reflecting its status as a time-bound notice tied to an intended, partner-specific award. For access issues or administrative questions, the listed contact is Erika Cordeiro, Contract Specialist, reachable at 415-561-7048 or ericacordeiro@nps.gov.
