Opportunity Information: Apply for NPSNOIROMO1700745
The National Park Service (NPS), within the Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Maintenance and resource protection on Section 1 of the South Tonahutu Trail, Rocky Mountain NP." The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIROMO1700745 and was created on June 5, 2017, with an original closing date of June 15, 2017. Even though it appears in the format of a funding opportunity announcement, the notice makes it clear that it is not a request for applications and is not soliciting proposals from the public.
The purpose of the notice is strictly informational: it serves to announce the NPS intent to make a non-competitive award. Specifically, the NPS plans to issue a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement, rather than creating a new open competition. The intended recipient is the Corps Network, operating through Rocky Mountain Youth Corps, which indicates the work is likely to be carried out by a conservation corps-style crew focused on hands-on field work. The announcement cites 505 DM 2.12 as the policy authority guiding this type of non-competitive action and the requirement to provide public notice.
The work described falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is centered on trail maintenance and resource protection along Section 1 of the South Tonahutu Trail in Rocky Mountain National Park. While the notice does not list specific work tasks, projects described this way in national parks commonly involve stabilizing trail tread, improving drainage, reducing erosion and sedimentation, protecting adjacent vegetation and sensitive habitats, and improving visitor safety and sustainability of the route. The "resource protection" framing suggests the goal is not only to keep the trail passable, but also to prevent ongoing damage to soils, water, and plant communities caused by erosion, widening trails, or informal social routes.
From an administrative standpoint, the funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The listing shows "Expected Awards: 1," reinforcing that this is a single, targeted award rather than a competitive program with multiple recipients. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which generally indicates that a maximum funding amount is not being stated in the public synopsis, not necessarily that no funding will be provided.
Eligibility is shown as "Others," with a note to see additional eligibility information, but the practical impact here is limited because the notice is not open for competition. In other words, external organizations should not interpret this as an opportunity they can apply for; it is a public notification that the NPS plans to proceed with a sole-source task agreement to the named partner for trail maintenance and associated natural resource protection work on the specified trail segment in Rocky Mountain National Park.Apply for NPSNOIROMO1700745
