Opportunity Summary:
The Silver State Trail System and Chief Mountain Area Plan Initiative (Funding Opportunity Number NV NOI080001) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding notice for a cooperative agreement focused on recreation and natural resource management in Lincoln County, Nevada. The project centers on the Silver State Trail, described as the first congressionally designated off-highway vehicle (OHV) trail in the United States, and it involves roughly 270 miles of newly designated trail. Alongside the trail work, the initiative also references planning activities tied to the Chief Mountain Area, with the broader aim of guiding vehicle use in adjacent areas in a more organized and sustainable way.
A key point of this announcement is that it is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that BLM intends to fund specific project activities without full and open competition. In practical terms, that means BLM is signaling its intent to make a single, non-competitive award to carry forward an existing OHV strategy effort that began in 2006 with the Great Basin Institute. The emphasis is on continuing and building on prior work rather than launching a new competitive grant cycle.
The planned approach is explicitly collaborative. The initiative is described as a cooperative effort to develop and strengthen partnerships that include the public as well as local and state entities. The long-term objective is to support a sustainable OHV system for the Silver State Trail and nearby vehicle use areas, which typically implies coordinated planning, stakeholder engagement, and on-the-ground trail system development and management strategies that can be maintained over time rather than short-term improvements that are difficult to sustain.
Financially, the opportunity lists one expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $587,000. The award floor and ceiling are both stated as $587,000, indicating BLM anticipated a single award at that exact amount. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement noted. The CFDA listing is 15.225, Recreation Resource Management, aligning the effort with federal recreation and public lands management goals.
Eligibility is shown as nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), although the non-competitive nature of the notice is the most important constraint here because it indicates BLM already intended a specific funding path rather than soliciting proposals broadly. The notice was posted and created on April 16, 2008, with an original and current closing date of April 30, 2008, and an archive date of May 1, 2008, reflecting that it is an older, closed announcement.
For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed agency contact is Susan Kaller, Grants and Agreements Specialist at BLM, reachable by phone at 775-861-6559 or by email at skaller@blm.gov.
