Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00563
The grant opportunity titled "Complete technical assistance for the Vista Point Trail" (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00563) is a National Park Service (NPS) financial assistance action intended to support planning and permitting work for the Vista Point Trail project. It is issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, under the Natural Resources funding activity category (CFDA 15.954), and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The notice was created on August 20, 2019, with an original closing date of September 1, 2019, but it is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as public notice that NPS plans to make an award under an existing cooperative agreement framework, with one expected award and a maximum award amount (ceiling) of $49,500. Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education.
The core purpose of the project is to provide targeted technical assistance that helps NPS move the Vista Point Trail through complex multi-agency planning, design, and permitting steps. At the time of the announcement, the NPS project team was actively developing required planning and permitting documents, and the opportunity focuses on filling key technical gaps that can slow down approvals or complicate design decisions. In practical terms, the work emphasizes two main technical needs: stormwater pollution prevention and the interpretation and management of data related to lead-contaminated surface soils found on the hillside and within the trail corridor. Both issues can drive permit conditions, construction methods, and long-term maintenance requirements, so the grant is structured to support decisions early enough to reduce risk and keep the project on track.
A major goal described in the notice is to strengthen the permitting coordination process by ensuring the trail planning team has solid technical support for required stormwater controls and for addressing contaminated soil considerations. Stormwater pollution prevention typically involves identifying where runoff will flow during and after construction, determining how erosion and sediment will be controlled, and ensuring that any disturbed soils do not degrade nearby water resources. The mention of lead-contaminated surface soil data signals an additional layer of environmental compliance and public health concern, since trail construction could disturb contaminated material unless it is properly characterized and managed. By supplying expertise in these areas, the project aims to smooth coordination across multiple agencies and jurisdictions that may have authority over water quality, land disturbance, and environmental protection permits.
The announcement also outlines how the work will be carried out and who will do it. The Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy (GGNPC) is identified as providing staffing support, with two staff members assigned at a project management level and a project assistance level. Their roles are intended to combine hands-on technical capability with coordination support. Specifically, their responsibilities include providing stormwater pollution prevention technical expertise, supporting contaminated soil management efforts, and conducting outreach and coordination with local stakeholders, neighboring jurisdictions, and the public agencies responsible for issuing final permits. In other words, the staffing is not just technical analysis behind the scenes; it also includes the practical coordination needed to align stakeholders and permitting agencies around a workable trail design and compliance approach.
The time period referenced for the objectives is Fall 2019 through Summer 2021, suggesting a multi-season planning and permitting window rather than a short-term consulting task. That timeframe makes sense for a trail project facing environmental constraints, because stormwater planning, erosion control design, and contaminated soil handling strategies often must be integrated into design iterations and permit submittals, then refined as agencies review and comment. Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a focused, cooperative support award meant to help NPS complete the technical and coordination work necessary to advance the Vista Point Trail from planning into a permit-ready, implementable design that addresses stormwater compliance and lead-contaminated soil risks.Apply for P19AS00563
