Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a National Park Service notice stating its intent to make a single-source award for trail crew services in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, specifically to support Sequoia National Park. Rather than being an open, competitive solicitation, it signals that the Department of the Interior (DOI), through the NPS, plans to issue a Task Agreement under an already-existing Cooperative Agreement (H806408A015) with the California Conservation Corps. The overall purpose is to carry out on-the-ground trail work aligned with Sequoia National Park's 2011 trail maintenance plan, combining routine upkeep with higher-effort reconstruction and related restoration work in wildland settings.
The scope of work centers on trail maintenance, trail reconstruction, and trail-associated wildlands restoration. The project tasks called out in the notice include completing annual maintenance on 14 miles of trail, rehabilitating the storm-damaged Tar Gap Trail, reconstructing failed trail structures in the Mineral King front country area, and reconstructing the Atwell/Hockett trail segment between Clove Creek and Hockett Meadow. Taken together, these activities emphasize both repairing damage from severe weather events and improving long-term trail durability and visitor access, while also addressing resource protection and restoration needs connected to trail corridors.
The award is framed as supporting the Secretary of the Interior's Engaging Youth Program, which generally reflects DOI priorities around providing meaningful conservation work opportunities for youth and young adults through service organizations like conservation corps. The notice also cites compliance with Department of the Interior policy (referenced as 505 DMZ), underscoring that the decision to proceed as a single-source action is being made within established departmental policy guidelines.
Administratively, the funding opportunity is listed as discretionary and will be made through a Cooperative Agreement, with one expected award. The total estimated funding is $92,000, and the award ceiling and floor are both $92,000, indicating a fixed anticipated award amount. No cost sharing or matching is required. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations, which aligns with the stated youth engagement and conservation corps partnership approach. The posting date was March 18, 2011, with an original and current closing date of March 23, 2011, and an archive date of April 22, 2011, reflecting a short public notice window typical of intent-to-single-source announcements rather than a full competitive grant cycle.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (other than institutions of higher education), though the substance of the notice makes clear the NPS is specifically intending to work with the California Conservation Corps under the referenced existing cooperative agreement. For access issues or questions about the announcement, the point of contact is Katherine Hoover, Contracting Officer, at 559-565-3180 or katiehoover@nps.gov.
