Opportunity Summary:

This federal grant notice, titled "Recovery Act - Rehabilitate Trails, GWMP 154799, TAS 14 1035, NAICS 561730 Landscaping Services," is a National Park Service (NPS) announcement about an intended award for a specific trail rehabilitation project at the George Washington Memorial Parkway in the Great Falls, Virginia area. The key point is that it is a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning NPS published it to formally disclose that it plans to fund a particular project activity, not to invite competitive proposals. In other words, it is not a request for applications and is posted for public transparency and informational purposes only.

The opportunity is identified under Funding Opportunity Number NPS ARRAGWMP3300100140 and is categorized as a discretionary funding action using a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. The posting connects the work to NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services), which aligns with on-the-ground trail work such as restoration, rehabilitation, and related natural-resource or visitor-use area improvements. The funding activity is broadly classified as "Other," with the clarification that it is a Recovery Act (ARRA) project.

The project is funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). Because ARRA funds are involved, the award is subject to Recovery Act reporting requirements, which typically include additional accountability and transparency measures such as documenting expenditures, progress metrics, and job or labor-related reporting elements associated with stimulus spending.

Only one award was expected, and the funding amount was fixed: both the award ceiling and award floor are listed as $54,629, indicating NPS anticipated making a single award at that exact amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. The notice also states that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient would need to contribute some portion of resources (cash, in-kind services, or other allowable contributions) consistent with the agreement terms.

Eligibility for this specific intended award was limited. The eligible applicant identified in the notice is the Student Conservation Association, and the eligibility field indicates "Others" only because the detailed eligibility clarification points specifically to that organization. The CFDA number associated with the posting is 15.931, titled "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which signals that the work likely involves conservation-oriented field activities carried out with youth or service corps participation consistent with that program area.

Timing details show the notice was posted and created on April 22, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 2, 2010, and an archive date of June 1, 2010. Since this was not an application solicitation, the closing date functions more like an administrative window for the public notice period rather than a true deadline for proposal submissions.

For administrative or access questions, the point of contact listed is Rita Oliver, Contract Specialist at NPS, reachable by phone at 301-432-7890 or by email at ritaoliver@nps.gov.
