Opportunity Summary:
The PIRO Trail Maintenance NOI (Funding Opportunity Number P13AC00943) is a National Park Service notice of intent related to trail maintenance work at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. It is explicitly not a request for proposals, meaning it is not a typical open competitive solicitation where multiple applicants are being invited to submit full proposals for comparison. Instead, it serves as a formal notice tied to a planned cooperative agreement action.
The project’s purpose is to complete specific, hands-on trail infrastructure improvements by hiring one SEEDS Youth Conservation Corps crew to work on-site. The core scope of work is the replacement of six trail bridges on the Munising Ski Trail system. In addition to bridge replacement, the crew will be responsible for transporting trail-building supplies and materials to the job site, which indicates the effort includes both construction and logistical support needed to carry out the repairs in remote or trail-access locations.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which usually indicates the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the project’s execution compared with a standard grant. The opportunity is listed under the discretionary category and is associated with the activity areas of education and environment. It is also tied to CFDA 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations, aligning the project with youth conservation corps-style workforce development and public lands stewardship.
Financially, the opportunity is structured as a single award with a total estimated funding amount of $31,500. The award floor and ceiling are both $31,500, which effectively fixes the award amount rather than presenting a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to contribute additional funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The announcement was posted and created on July 22, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 2, 2013, and an archive date of September 1, 2013.
For access issues or additional assistance, the listed grants management contact is Katie Schroeder, Grants Management Officer, reachable by phone at 402-661-1640. The announcement also references Grants.gov as the source for additional information.
