Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "ARRA BLM AK Resurface and Gravel Trails at Ft. Egbert, Alaska" (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00002) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Recovery Act-funded project intended to improve public recreation infrastructure while protecting a nationally significant historic site. The work focused on Ft. Egbert in Eagle, Alaska, a designated National Historic Landmark, and specifically targeted the restoration and rehabilitation of 2.18 miles of existing historic trail. The core purpose was to restore and harden the trails so they would be more durable and sustainable for continued use, reducing ongoing degradation and maintenance problems that typically come from erosion, soft soils, and heavy foot traffic in sensitive areas.
The scope of work centered on resurfacing the existing trail tread, including the placement of gravel or similar surfacing materials to stabilize the trail surface. The announcement references the Eagle Recreation Withdrawal (Public Land Order 3432), which indicates the project area falls within a specially managed recreation withdrawal where land use is guided by the terms of that order. In practical terms, the project was about rehabilitating an existing trail system rather than building new routes, with an emphasis on protecting historic resources and improving visitor access and safety by creating a firmer, more consistent walking surface.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning BLM expected to have substantial involvement in the project during planning and execution (for example, coordinating technical requirements, ensuring compliance with federal standards, and aligning the work with site management goals). The program anticipated making a single award, with total funding set at exactly $35,000. The award ceiling and floor were both $35,000, which effectively means this was designed as one fixed-size project award rather than a range of possible funding levels. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, lowering the barrier to participation for eligible applicants.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted in general terms, but the eligibility information specifically indicated the intended applicants were youth or conservation corps organizations. That suggests BLM was looking for an organization capable of fielding a trained crew to perform on-the-ground trail work, often with a workforce development or youth engagement component. The activity category was tied to the Recovery Act, and the CFDA listing was 15.225, Recreation Resource Management, which aligns with federal support for recreation facilities, public access, and stewardship of recreation resources.
Key dates show this was a time-limited 2010 funding opportunity: it was posted on March 27, 2010, with an application deadline of April 15, 2010, and it was later archived on May 31, 2010. Additional details and full application materials were available through Grants.gov at the time. For administrative or access issues, the listed BLM contact was Sandee Smith, Grants Management Officer (907-271-5193, s2smith@blm.gov).
