Opportunity Summary:
The Recovery Act National Park Service Maintain Trails and Trail Structures, Golden Gate National Recreation Area grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS ARRAGOGA100808) was a National Park Service (NPS) American Recovery and Reinvestment Act project focused on trail and trail-structure maintenance at Golden Gate National Recreation Area in San Francisco, California. The announcement was issued as a Notice of Intent for a non-competitive award, meaning the NPS signaled in advance that it intended to make a single award without running a broad competitive process. The work described centers on maintaining trails and associated trail structures, which typically includes tasks that keep visitor routes safe, functional, and resilient, such as repairing tread surfaces, drainage features, steps, retaining structures, and related infrastructure.
This opportunity fell under the Discretionary category and used a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. A cooperative agreement generally indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project, such as coordination on technical standards, work planning, or oversight, rather than a hands-off grant arrangement. The funding activity category was explicitly tied to the Recovery Act, reflecting the stimulus-era emphasis on getting priority maintenance and conservation work completed while supporting job and project activity.
The total expected funding was $75,000, with an award ceiling of $75,000 and an award floor of $75,000, indicating a single fixed-size award rather than a range of possible award amounts. The notice projected one award in total. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not have been required to contribute non-federal funds to meet a match.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The listing was associated with CFDA number 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations, which signals that the funded work aligns with conservation and stewardship activities often carried out with youth or service-oriented conservation crews, even though the specific announcement emphasizes trail and trail-structure maintenance at Golden Gate.
Key dates in the posting show it was posted on February 17, 2010, with an original and current closing date of February 27, 2010, and it was later archived on March 29, 2010. The creation date is listed as March 9, 2010.
