Opportunity Summary:
The Natural Resource and Recreation Maintenance Training and Education for Local Offenders opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NWP 14 0001) was a discretionary, environment-focused cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Department of the Army. The purpose was to set up a working partnership that gives training and educational opportunities to individuals housed in a local county correction facility, while also meeting real, ongoing maintenance and stewardship needs on USACE-managed lands at the Bonneville project. In practical terms, the grant was designed to align workforce-style training for offenders with public land management tasks that support safe, clean, and well-maintained recreation areas and natural resource sites.
The work supported under the cooperative agreement would take place at the Bonneville Lock and Dam project area, specifically in Skamania County, Washington and Multnomah County, Oregon. The underlying idea is mutually beneficial: participants receive structured, supervised experience and education tied to land management and maintenance, and USACE benefits from additional capacity to implement best management practices on high-use and lower-use recreation areas and related operational and facility settings. The agreement is grounded in the statutory authority of 33 USC 2339(a), Conservation and Recreation Management, which is commonly used to support partnerships that enhance conservation outcomes and recreation management on Corps project lands.
The scope of activities emphasized natural resource and recreation maintenance services. The announcement highlights three main categories of work. First is vegetation management, which can include controlling invasive plant species, planting native vegetation, and removing vegetation when necessary for dam safety or security requirements. Second is park and trail maintenance, which typically covers upkeep tasks that keep public access areas functional and safe, such as basic repairs, clearing, and general maintenance of recreation infrastructure. Third is litter control, aimed at improving site cleanliness and visitor experience while reducing environmental impacts from trash and debris. While these are the named examples, the opportunity language indicates the services are not limited to only these items, suggesting the partner could support a broader set of closely related maintenance and stewardship tasks consistent with Corps needs and the training purpose.
From a funding and award structure standpoint, USACE anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $48,925. The listing indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement. It was structured specifically as a cooperative agreement, which generally implies substantial involvement by the federal agency in coordinating, guiding, or participating in the project compared with a standard grant. The award ceiling and floor were listed as $0 in the source data, which often reflects a posting/data-entry convention rather than a literal lack of funding, since the estimated total funding amount is clearly stated.
Eligibility was aimed at non-federal governments, and the posting lists eligible applicants as "Others" with a clarification pointing to additional eligibility details, but the provided eligibility information indicates non-federal governments are eligible. In practice, that typically means local or county governmental entities (and potentially similar non-federal public bodies) positioned to coordinate offender participation through local correctional systems and to partner operationally with USACE on project lands.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on December 18, 2013, with an original and current closing date of January 10, 2014, and an archive date of February 9, 2014, meaning it is no longer open. For announcement access issues, the listed point of contact was Karen Dailey, Contract Specialist, at 503-808-4615.
