Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) announced a discretionary grant/cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Remove invasive species and replant with native vegetation" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOICOLM00126). The work is focused on on-the-ground natural resource restoration within Colorado National Monument, specifically removing invasive plant species and restoring affected areas by replanting with native vegetation. In practical terms, the project is aimed at improving habitat quality and ecological resilience in the park by reducing invasive pressure and reestablishing plant communities that are appropriate to the monument's environment.
This announcement was issued as a Notice of Intent rather than an open competitive solicitation. The notice states it is "for informational purposes only" and indicates the NPS planned to make an award to the Student Conservation Association through a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement, using internal NPS procedures. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA program listed is 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which aligns with projects that engage conservation crews in stewardship and restoration work.
The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $29,642. While award floor and ceiling amounts were listed as $0 (often used when an agency is not setting formal bounds in the posting), the estimated total provides the best indication of project scale. Cost sharing or matching was required, meaning the recipient would need to contribute a portion of the project cost through cash, in-kind services, or other allowable match sources consistent with the cooperative agreement terms.
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on April 20, 2011, with an original and current closing date of April 21, 2011, and an archive date of April 25, 2011, reflecting that this was a short administrative posting associated with an intended award rather than a long open application period. For access issues or questions tied to the announcement, the listed contact was Rhonda Martinez, Contract Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 505-988-6042.
