Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00077
The Maintenance Project (repair fences, trails, remove vegetation) at Parashant National Monument is a National Park Service initiative under the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on hands-on site maintenance that protects sensitive cultural and natural resources while also improving conditions for visitor access. The core purpose of the project is to reduce impacts from overgrown vegetation, damaged infrastructure, and degraded travel routes in areas where historic features, springs, and other resource-sensitive locations can be harmed by erosion, uncontrolled access, or intrusion by livestock and feral animals.
The project goals center on removing excess vegetation and completing practical repairs to fences, unpaved roads, and trails in and around vulnerable locations at Parashant National Monument. The work is aimed at maintaining the integrity of culturally important landscapes and structures, keeping key natural resources like springs better protected, and ensuring that the routes used to reach these places are safer and more serviceable. In practice, this means clearing vegetation that is encroaching on historic structures and fence corridors, fixing or reinforcing fencing specifically intended to block livestock and feral animals from entering sensitive zones, and rehabilitating unimproved roads and trails that have deteriorated over time. By addressing these needs together, the project ties resource protection directly to improved site management and a better overall visitor experience.
The main geographic and operational focus areas include the Tassi Ranch cultural landscape, associated fence lines, springs, and forage reserves. These are the locations where resource sensitivity and on-the-ground maintenance needs overlap most strongly, so project activities are designed to be targeted rather than broad-brush. Because each setting can require a different approach, the project also emphasizes using a range of tools and treatment techniques appropriate to the specific conditions of each work area. A notable component is workforce development in a restoration context: participating crews are expected to learn the methods being used, the tools involved, and how to apply them properly while working in environments where both cultural resource protection and natural resource stewardship are priorities.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity is listed as a discretionary funding action using a cooperative agreement instrument, categorized under Natural Resources (CFDA 15.931). The eligible applicant type referenced is a nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The funding opportunity number is P19AS00077, with a listed award ceiling of $112,000. Importantly, the notice states that this is a Notice of Intent to Award and explicitly not a request for applications. The announcement functions as a public notification that the National Park Service intends to fund the work under an existing cooperative agreement with ACE, meaning the project is not open for competitive proposals through this particular notice. The opportunity was created on June 26, 2019, and the expected number of awards is listed as zero because it is tied to an existing agreement rather than a new competitive solicitation.Apply for P19AS00077

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): Maintenance Project at Parashant National Monument (NPS)
What is the Maintenance Project at Parashant National Monument?
The Maintenance Project is a National Park Service (NPS) initiative under the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on hands-on site maintenance at Parashant National Monument. The work centers on repairing fences, maintaining trails and unimproved roads, and removing excess vegetation to protect sensitive cultural and natural resources and to improve conditions for visitor access.
What is the main purpose of this project?
The core purpose is to reduce impacts caused by overgrown vegetation, damaged infrastructure, and degraded travel routes in areas where erosion, uncontrolled access, or intrusion by livestock and feral animals could harm historic features, springs, and other resource-sensitive locations.
What problems is the project designed to address?
The project targets on-the-ground issues including vegetation encroachment, deteriorated fences, and degraded unimproved roads and trails. These conditions can lead to erosion, uncontrolled access into sensitive areas, and increased risk of damage to cultural landscapes, historic features, and key natural resources such as springs.
What types of activities are included in the project scope?
Activities described in the notice include:
- Removing excess or encroaching vegetation, including vegetation impacting historic structures and fence corridors
- Repairing, fixing, or reinforcing fencing intended to block livestock and feral animals from entering sensitive zones
- Rehabilitating unimproved (unpaved) roads and trails that have deteriorated over time
Which resources is the project intended to protect?
The work is designed to protect both cultural and natural resources, including culturally important landscapes and structures and natural resources like springs. The notice emphasizes preventing harm that can be caused by erosion, uncontrolled access, and animal intrusion into sensitive locations.
How does the project relate to visitor access?
Alongside resource protection, the project aims to improve conditions for visitor access by making routes used to reach resource-sensitive locations safer and more serviceable. This includes practical maintenance on unimproved roads and trails.
Where will the work take place?
The main geographic and operational focus areas listed are the Tassi Ranch cultural landscape and associated fence lines, springs, and forage reserves within and around Parashant National Monument. The notice describes these as the locations where resource sensitivity and maintenance needs overlap most strongly.
Is the project approach broad across the monument or targeted to specific sites?
The notice describes the work as targeted rather than broad-brush, focusing on specific vulnerable locations (such as the Tassi Ranch cultural landscape and related areas) where maintenance needs and resource sensitivity are closely linked.
What methods or tools will be used to complete the work?
The notice states that the project emphasizes using a range of tools and treatment techniques appropriate to the specific conditions of each work area. It does not list specific tools, but it highlights that approaches may vary by site depending on conditions.
Is there a workforce development or training component?
Yes. The project includes a workforce development component in a restoration context. Participating crews are expected to learn the methods being used, the tools involved, and how to apply them properly while working in environments where cultural resource protection and natural resource stewardship are priorities.
What is the funding mechanism for this opportunity?
The notice lists this as a discretionary funding action using a cooperative agreement instrument. It is categorized under Natural Resources with CFDA 15.931.
What is the funding opportunity number?
The funding opportunity number listed in the notice is P19AS00077.

What agency is sponsoring or administering this project?
The project is a National Park Service initiative under the U.S. Department of the Interior.
When was this opportunity created?
The opportunity was created on June 26, 2019.
How does fencing work support resource protection in this project?
The notice describes fence repair and reinforcement as a way to block livestock and feral animals from entering sensitive zones. This is intended to reduce intrusion-related impacts and help protect vulnerable cultural and natural resources.
What is meant by rehabilitating unimproved roads and trails?
In the context of the notice, rehabilitating unimproved roads and trails refers to addressing deterioration in unpaved travel routes over time so that routes used to reach sensitive places are safer and more serviceable while supporting better site management.
