Opportunity Summary:
The Parkwide Trails Rehabilitation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIGRSA1210526) is a National Park Service discretionary funding notice tied to natural resources work at Great Sand Dunes National Park. The project scope centers on on-the-ground field work, specifically maintenance and rehabilitation of park trails along with fence removal. The intent is to support resource protection and visitor access by improving existing trail conditions and removing unnecessary or obsolete fencing that may affect landscapes, wildlife movement, or visitor experience.
This announcement is not an open competitive solicitation. It is a notice of intent to make a single expected award (Expected Awards: 1) as a task agreement issued under an already-existing cooperative agreement with the Student Conservation Association. In practical terms, that means the agency is indicating its plan to fund this particular partner for this specific work package, rather than inviting new applicants to compete for the funds. The eligibility field reflects this by listing "Others" with clarification that the award is intended for the Student Conservation Association under the established agreement.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in the project compared to a standard grant. The total estimated funding amount listed is $49,275, with no stated award ceiling or floor (both shown as $0), suggesting the primary figure to rely on is the total estimated funding amount for this task agreement. A cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated as "Yes," meaning the project is expected to include some level of non-federal contribution or match consistent with the terms of the underlying cooperative agreement.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations, which aligns with youth and service-oriented conservation crews doing hands-on stewardship work. Key dates show the notice was posted and created on May 25, 2012, with an original and current closing date of May 26, 2012, and an archive date of May 27, 2012. This short window is typical of notices of intent, since the purpose is mainly public transparency about an impending award rather than running a full application period.
For access issues or questions tied to the announcement, the listed contact is Rhonda Martinez, Contract Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 505-988-6042.
