Opportunity Information: Apply for NPSNOIDINO1700832
The grant opportunity titled "Repair boundary fence and Fossil Discover Trail construction" (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIDINO1700832) is a discretionary National Park Service funding notice under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.931. The funding instrument listed is a cooperative agreement, and the announcement was created on June 13, 2017, with an original closing date of June 23, 2017.
This notice is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not an open solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, the National Park Service is publishing the notice to formally communicate its intent to make a non-competitive award, consistent with the requirements referenced in 505 DM 2.12 (a Department of the Interior policy framework that governs certain aspects of financial assistance and award processes). In practical terms, this kind of announcement is typically used when the agency has already identified the recipient based on an existing agreement or a specific justification for not competing the award, and the public notice is provided for transparency.
The intended recipient is the American Conservation Experience, and the award is planned as a task agreement issued under an existing cooperative agreement rather than as a brand-new, openly competed grant. The work to be supported is focused on Dinosaur National Monument, specifically assisting with repair of boundary fences and construction work related to the Fossil Discovery Trail. The listing indicates an expected number of awards of one, reinforcing that this is a single-recipient, non-competitive action. The award ceiling is shown as 0, which often indicates that the dollar amount is either not being disclosed in the public synopsis, will be determined under the task agreement, or is otherwise not specified in the posting.
Eligibility is broadly categorized as "Others," with a note directing readers to additional eligibility information (not included in the provided text). However, because the notice is not open for applications and is tied to a non-competitive task agreement, the practical effect is that new applicants are not being invited to apply. The core purpose of the notice is to document that the National Park Service plans to use an existing cooperative agreement mechanism to engage American Conservation Experience for on-the-ground conservation and visitor infrastructure support work at Dinosaur National Monument, centered on boundary fence repairs and development of the Fossil Discovery Trail.Apply for NPSNOIDINO1700832
