Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00017
The Trail Preservation Project (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00017) is a National Park Service initiative under the Department of the Interior focused on rehabilitating a deteriorated historic trail within a National Monument. The trail is currently in poor condition, with multiple safety and resource-protection issues including failing retaining walls, rotted steps, a tread surface that becomes slick and muddy, and exposed roots. The core purpose of the project is to address these hazards and prevent further degradation while maintaining the trail's historic alignment and character. Rather than rerouting the trail away from its established corridor, the plan is to rebuild it in place using a new set of switchbacks engineered for long-term durability, with the stated goal of lasting another 100 years.
This opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, reflecting a collaborative relationship between the National Park Service and its partner rather than a typical standalone grant competition. The announcement is explicitly labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award" and states that it is not a request for applications. In practical terms, that means the agency is publishing the notice for transparency and public record, and the funding is intended to go to a specific partner under an existing agreement rather than being open for new applicants to compete.
The eligible applicant type listed for the associated award is a nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The notice indicates the project will be funded under an existing Cooperative Agreement with GGNPC. The expected number of awards is one, and the maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $99,318. The funding activity categories tied to the listing include Natural Resources as well as Employment, Labor and Training, which signals that in addition to protecting park resources and visitor access, the work may support hands-on conservation labor or related workforce activities commonly associated with trail rehabilitation projects.
Key dates in the public posting show a creation date of November 19, 2017 and an original closing date of November 30, 2017. Because the notice is not an open solicitation, the closing date functions more as an administrative marker for the public notice period than a true application deadline. Overall, the project is a targeted, partner-executed trail reconstruction effort intended to stabilize failing infrastructure, improve safety and sustainability, and preserve a historic trail experience for visitors over the long term.Apply for P18AS00017
