Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service posted a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Trail Work and Invasive Weed Treatment at Colorado National Monument" (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOICOLM120011) focused on natural resource work at Colorado National Monument near Fruita and Grand Junction, Colorado. The project scope centers on completing on-the-ground trail work along with invasive weed treatment, supporting overall conservation and site stewardship within the monument.
This announcement is not a broad, open competition. It is a Notice of Intent (NOI) indicating the agency plans to make a single award to a specific organization, Mesa Youth Services, through a task agreement under an already-existing cooperative agreement. In other words, the National Park Service is signaling that it intends to fund this particular partner for this particular set of tasks, rather than soliciting applications from the general public. The listing shows one expected award.
The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically implies a level of ongoing collaboration between the agency and the recipient during project implementation, as opposed to a standard grant with less agency involvement. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the program is associated with CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," reflecting an emphasis on engaging youth service groups in hands-on conservation work.
The estimated total funding amount for the effort is listed as $70,000. The announcement also indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute toward project costs in some form (such as cash, in-kind services, labor, or other allowable contributions), consistent with the terms of the underlying cooperative agreement. The notice does not specify an award ceiling or floor (both are shown as 0), which commonly occurs in brief notices that function mainly as an intent-to-award statement rather than a full competitive solicitation with detailed thresholds.
Key dates show how limited and time-bound this notice was: it was posted and created on May 29, 2012, with an original and current closing date of May 30, 2012, and it was archived on May 31, 2012. This quick turnaround aligns with the nature of a Notice of Intent, which often serves as a public transparency step prior to finalizing an award to a pre-identified partner.
For assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Trish Fresquez Hernandez, Contract Specialist with the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 505-988-6122.
