Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Trail Management Plan Development and Implementation" (Funding Opportunity Number R11SS60004) is a Bureau of Reclamation, Great Plains Region funding notice categorized under Natural Resources and tied to CFDA 15.524, Recreation Resources Management. It is listed as a discretionary grant with an expected single award and an estimated total funding amount of $73,783, which is also the stated award ceiling (the award floor is listed as $0). The posting and creation dates are both February 28, 2011, with an original and current closing date of March 14, 2011, and the opportunity was archived on March 15, 2011.
A key point in the announcement is that it is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public "Notice of Intent to Award," meaning the Bureau of Reclamation is announcing its plan to fund specific project activities without full and open competition. In practical terms, that indicates the agency had already identified a recipient or a limited set of recipients and was providing the public notice required for that type of non-competitive action rather than soliciting proposals broadly.
The listing shows eligibility as "unrestricted," meaning any type of entity could be eligible in principle, subject to any additional eligibility language that would normally appear in the full announcement text. The notice also specifies that cost sharing or matching is required, so the recipient would be expected to contribute non-federal funds or in-kind support as part of the overall project budget. While the short excerpt does not spell out the specific trail tasks, the title and program area indicate the supported work would involve developing and carrying out a trail management plan, which typically includes activities such as assessing trail conditions, planning maintenance and improvements, addressing visitor use and safety, managing environmental impacts, coordinating signage and access, and establishing ongoing operations and maintenance strategies.
For questions or assistance accessing the full announcement, the contact provided is Lindsey Nafts, Grants Officer, reachable by phone at 406-247-7684.
