Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "RECOVERY - Rehabilitate Latigo Section of the Backbone Trail, Santa Monica Mountains NRA, SAMO 129310, TAS 14 1035" was a National Park Service (NPS) funding notice connected to trail rehabilitation work in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area in California. It was issued under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), meaning the award would come with the stricter transparency and reporting requirements tied to Recovery Act spending. The listing also notes that the announcement was primarily informational in nature, which commonly signals that the agency may have been publicizing an intended award or a narrowly competed action rather than running a broad, open-ended competition.
This opportunity was posted on April 20, 2010, and it had a short application window, closing on April 27, 2010. The grant was later archived on May 27, 2010. Only one award was expected, and the total estimated funding was set at 114,000 dollars. The funding structure was fixed: the award floor and award ceiling were both 114,000 dollars, indicating the NPS anticipated making a single cooperative agreement at that exact amount rather than a range of possible awards. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, so an applicant would not have been expected to contribute additional non-federal resources as a condition of receiving the award.
The funding instrument type was a cooperative agreement, which generally differs from a standard grant in that the federal agency anticipates having substantial involvement in carrying out the project. In practical terms, that typically means NPS staff would likely coordinate closely with the recipient on work planning, compliance requirements, reporting, scheduling, or implementation details tied to the trail rehabilitation. The opportunity was categorized under a Recovery Act funding activity category, aligning it with ARRA goals such as economic stimulus, job support, and accelerating needed public works and conservation projects.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status, excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity was also associated with CFDA number 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which suggests the work may have been intended to involve conservation corps style crews or youth-focused service organizations, even though the project itself is framed as trail rehabilitation. The notice references NAICS code 238990, "All Other Specialty Trade Contractors," which points to the nature of the work as hands-on field construction or rehabilitation work that does not fall neatly into other specialized trade categories. In a trail context, that can include tread repair, drainage improvements, erosion control, retaining features, or related trail infrastructure work, depending on site needs.
In short, this was a time-limited, single-award NPS cooperative agreement funded by ARRA to rehabilitate a specific segment of the Backbone Trail (the Latigo section) in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. It offered a fixed 114,000 dollars with no match requirement, was aimed at qualifying 501(c)(3) nonprofits, and carried Recovery Act reporting obligations. For full announcement access at the time, the notice pointed applicants to Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact was Tekla Vines, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 707-951-4872 or by email at teklavines@nps.gov.
