Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "RECOVERY ACT National Park Service Repair Storm Damaged Section of 49 Palms Trail, Joshua Tree National Monument" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS ARRANOIJOTR100003) was a National Park Service discretionary funding program offered under the Recovery Act and structured as a cooperative agreement. The project focused on repairing and improving a storm-damaged portion of the 49 Palms Trail in Joshua Tree National Monument, targeting roughly a 1.5-mile section that contained unsafe or substandard trail features. The core purpose was to remove unstable and poorly constructed trail structures and other obstacles, then rebuild and rehabilitate the route so it meets National Park Service trail standards.
The scope of work emphasized practical trail restoration and long-term durability. In addition to clearing out problematic structures, the project called for building stone trail structures designed to reduce erosion and protect the integrity of the trail tread over time. This indicates the work was not just cosmetic or short-term cleanup, but aimed at addressing underlying drainage and erosion issues that commonly worsen after storms, especially in desert environments where intense runoff can quickly undermine trail surfaces. The opportunity also included limited vegetation trimming along the trail corridor, likely to restore safe passage and maintain the intended width and visibility of the trail without expanding impacts beyond the established corridor.
Funding was fixed and relatively small but fully defined: the estimated total funding was $40,000, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $40,000, suggesting the agency intended to make a single award for the entire project rather than multiple smaller awards. One expected award was listed. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was limited to state governments. The listing also carried CFDA number 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which signals that the work aligned with conservation and trail stewardship goals often associated with youth or service corps-style field projects, even though the formal eligibility category for applicants in this listing was state governments. Applicants interested in details beyond the summary were directed to Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access issues or questions was Tekla Vines, Contract Specialist, reachable at 707-951-4872 or teklavines@nps.gov.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on February 2, 2010, with an original and final closing date of February 12, 2010, indicating a short application window of about 10 days. It was later archived on March 14, 2010. Overall, this was a focused, one-time Recovery Act-funded trail repair effort intended to restore safety, reduce erosion impacts, and bring a specific storm-damaged trail segment back into compliance with NPS standards through removal of unstable features, installation of durable stone structures, and minor corridor maintenance.
