Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "RECOVERY - Maintain Trails and Trail Structures, Sequoia National Park, SEKI 121063, TAS 14 1035," was issued by the National Park Service (NPS) as a discretionary funding announcement under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The work described focuses on maintaining trails and trail-related structures within Sequoia National Park, aligning with NAICS code 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors). Because the funding comes from ARRA, the recipient would be subject to the Act's additional reporting and transparency requirements, which typically means more detailed documentation and progress reporting than a standard federal award.
The funding instrument identified is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates that NPS expected to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with total estimated funding of $40,000. The award floor and ceiling were both set at $40,000, meaning the project budget was essentially fixed at that amount, not a range. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applied, so the selected organization would have needed to contribute some portion of the project cost through cash and/or allowable in-kind support, consistent with the terms set in the full announcement.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The listing references CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which suggests the project may have been framed to support conservation work carried out with youth crews or youth-focused service organizations, even though the technical scope involves trail and structure maintenance. The opportunity was posted and created on April 6, 2010, with an original and final closing date of April 16, 2010, and it was archived on May 16, 2010, reflecting a short application window typical of smaller, targeted ARRA-funded projects.
The notice explicitly states it is "for informational purposes only," which often signals that the announcement may have been used to satisfy public posting or transparency requirements (for example, when an award is intended for a specific partner or when the agency is documenting an intended cooperative agreement), though the precise meaning would be confirmed only by the full announcement text. For applicants needing access assistance, the point of contact listed was Tekla Vines, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 707-951-4872 or by email at teklavines@nps.gov. The announcement also pointed applicants to Grants.gov for the full source information and any associated application materials.
