Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Trail work at Bandelier National Monument" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIBAND11079), was issued by the National Park Service as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement. It falls under the Natural Resources activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which typically supports conservation and stewardship work carried out through youth corps or similar service organizations.
The stated purpose of the task agreement was straightforward: to support maintenance and trail work in both the backcountry and front country areas of Bandelier National Monument. In practical terms, that kind of scope generally refers to on-the-ground trail upkeep and related conservation tasks intended to keep routes safe, sustainable, and accessible while reducing resource impacts across high-use frontcountry areas and more remote backcountry trails.
The announcement indicates an estimated total funding amount of $36,000, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. It anticipated a single award. The award ceiling and floor were both listed as $0, which is sometimes seen in older postings or notices where the exact financial structure is handled through an existing agreement or task order rather than a typical competitive grant package.
Eligibility was not broadly open for competition. The posting explicitly states it was "for informational purposes only" and served as a Notice of Intent to award to Rocky Mountain Youth Corps through a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement. That means the agency was not soliciting applications from the general public; instead, it was publicly documenting its intent to fund a specific partner organization for this specific work.
Key dates show it was posted on August 1, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 2, 2012, and then archived on August 3, 2012. The short window further reinforces that this was not a standard open competition but rather a formal notice tied to a planned, partner-specific award action.
For administrative questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Rhonda Martinez, Contract Specialist at the National Park Service, phone 505-988-6042.
