Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Trails maintenance and fence removal" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIGRSA100422), was published by the National Park Service as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement. The work falls under an "Other" funding activity category, further explained as rehabilitation, maintenance, and fence removal. In practical terms, the project focuses on hands-on field work across Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, with the core purpose specifically stated as removing fence within the park and preserve. The notice also frames the effort as part of broader park-wide trails maintenance activities, indicating that the fence removal is either a primary task or a key element bundled with general maintenance and rehabilitation needs.
The announcement is explicitly labeled as being "for informational purposes only" and functions as a Notice of Intent rather than an open call for new applicants. The National Park Service indicates it intends to make an award to the Student Conservation Association through a task agreement issued under an existing cooperative agreement. In other words, the agency is not seeking competing applications from the general public for this specific posting; instead, it is documenting its intent to fund a particular partner organization under an already-established agreement vehicle. The notice states the award was competed in accordance with internal NPS procedures, which typically means the competitive process occurred within the agency's own approved framework rather than through a standard public competition tied to this posting.
The opportunity lists an expected number of awards as one, with an estimated total funding amount of $29,000. No cost sharing or matching requirement is expected, meaning the recipient is not required to provide a financial match as a condition of receiving the funds. The posting includes CFDA number 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which aligns with conservation corps-style or youth-service conservation programs and supports the idea that the project work is intended to be carried out by a service organization with field crews capable of completing maintenance and restoration tasks.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on May 11, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 17, 2010, and an archive date of May 18, 2010. This short window is consistent with notices that are administrative in nature and not designed to solicit broad application packages. Award ceiling and floor are both listed as zero, which commonly appears in older federal opportunity records when a fixed ceiling/floor is not provided in the posting fields, even though an estimated total funding amount is stated elsewhere.
For questions or issues accessing the announcement, the listed point of contact is Rhonda Martinez, Contract Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 505-988-6042.
