Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to make a single discretionary award to support preservation and public education work tied to the El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail (NHT). The stated purpose is to protect the historic integrity of the trail, highlight and strengthen its role in tourism and economic development along the trail corridor, and educate the public about the trail's resources and opportunities. In practical terms, the funding is aimed at activities that help safeguard the trail's historic character and improve how communities and visitors understand, experience, and benefit from it.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the work rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant with limited federal engagement. The notice indicates the award will be made as a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement, and it is specifically intended for the El Camino Real de los Tejas NHT Association. Because it is framed as a notice of intent to award, it is not structured as an open competition in which multiple applicants are expected to submit proposals; instead, it signals the agency's plan to fund that particular partner organization for the described scope of work.
The opportunity falls under the Natural Resources activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.935, National Trails System Projects, which generally supports projects that conserve, develop, and interpret nationally designated trails and their associated resources. The estimated total funding amount listed is $86,705. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which typically reflects that the listing is informational and that the agency is not using this posting to solicit bids with a standard range; the actual anticipated amount is captured in the estimated total funding figure. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated, so the recipient is not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.
Timing in the posting suggests an expedited administrative action rather than a lengthy application window. It was posted June 27, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 28, 2012, and it was archived June 29, 2012. The expected number of awards is one, consistent with the intent-to-award language and the identification of the El Camino Real de los Tejas NHT Association as the intended recipient.
For questions or access issues related to the full announcement, the listing provides a point of contact: Trish Fresquez Hernandez, Contract Specialist, at 505-988-6122. The issuing agency is the National Park Service.
