Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Youth Project Rehabilitation of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail in Vermont, Chateauguay to Route 12," is a National Park Service (NPS) notice announcing an intended award rather than an open call for proposals. In other words, it is not inviting new applications from the public. Instead, the NPS is using the notice to formally inform the public that it plans to fund specific project work through a task agreement issued under an existing cooperative agreement.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds. The work is tied to Task Agreement P11AT40483 under Cooperative Agreement H2490060036, and the identified partner is the Vermont Youth Conservation Corps (VYCC). Because this is a notice of intent to award without full and open competition, it indicates the agency has already selected this organization for the work and is proceeding under an existing relationship rather than running a competitive process.
The project focus falls under "Conservation Activities by Youth Service," and the funding activity category is listed as "Other," clarified as conservation activities carried out by youth service organizations. The work location and scope are centered on rehabilitation of a segment of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail in Vermont, specifically the portion described as "Chateauguay to Route 12." While the notice text in the listing is brief, the title and category make clear that the intent is trail rehabilitation work carried out by a youth conservation crew, which typically includes tasks such as restoring tread, improving drainage, stabilizing eroded sections, clearing corridor, and addressing resource protection issues along heavily used trail segments.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $50,000, with the award ceiling and floor both set at $50,000, which signals a single fixed anticipated award amount rather than a range. The listing also indicates a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute eligible non-federal resources (cash, in-kind services, or other allowable contributions) toward the total project cost, consistent with the requirements of the CFDA program identified.
The assistance listing references CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which is the federal assistance program category used for youth corps style conservation projects. The posting shows that the agency expected to make one award (ExpectedAwards: 1), consistent with the direct, non-competitive intent to fund VYCC for this specific trail rehabilitation task.
Administrative details in the notice show it was posted on June 14, 2011, with an original and current closing date of June 19, 2011, and an archive date of June 20, 2011. In this context, the closing date does not function like a typical application deadline, since the announcement is explicitly not a request for applications; it is more of a public posting window tied to federal grants portal procedures. The eligible applicant category shown in the listing is "Nonprofits having a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education," which aligns with the type of organization VYCC is, but again, the notice is not soliciting competing applications.
For anyone trying to locate full details, the announcement directs readers to the attachment under the "Full Announcement" link (as it appeared on Grants.gov at the time) for the complete notice of intent to award. The listed point of contact for access issues is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, with the provided phone number (215-597-6476).
