Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) posted a discretionary grant/cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Trail Maintenance, invasive plant treatments" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOITONT110004) to support on-the-ground natural resource and visitor access work at Tonto National Monument. The core purpose of the task agreement is straightforward: provide maintenance of trails at Tonto National Monument, along with invasive plant treatments and other related miscellaneous maintenance needs. The work is structured as a task agreement issued under an existing cooperative agreement rather than a brand-new standalone award, which typically means the partner relationship and overarching agreement framework are already in place and this notice pertains to adding a specific scope of work under that framework.
This opportunity falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," indicating the work is tied to conservation projects carried out through youth or conservation corps-style organizations. The notice lists an expected number of awards of one, with an estimated total funding amount of $25,000. While the award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0 in the listing (often a placeholder in certain legacy postings), the stated estimated total funding provides the practical funding expectation for the single award.
Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute some form of match, which can sometimes include cash, in-kind contributions, or other allowable non-federal support depending on the terms of the underlying cooperative agreement and NPS requirements. The eligibility section clarifies that the announcement is "for informational purposes only" and functions as a Notice of Intent to award specifically to the Southwest Conservation Corps. In other words, it is not presented as an open competitive funding opportunity for general applicants; instead, it documents NPS intent to make a particular award under internal competition procedures already completed within the agency.
Key dates show how brief the posting window was: it was posted and created on March 24, 2011, with an original and current closing date of March 25, 2011, and it was archived on March 28, 2011. That timing aligns with the "notice of intent" nature of the posting, where the agency is often meeting transparency requirements rather than soliciting new proposals from the public.
For questions or help accessing the full announcement, the contact listed is Rhonda Martinez, Contract Specialist, National Park Service, phone 505-988-6042.
