Opportunity Summary:
The NPS GOSP Big Fill Trail Repair opportunity (Funding Announcement Number P11AT00144) is a National Park Service notice stating its intent to make a single award for trail repair work, not an open call for applications. In other words, it was posted to publicly document that the National Park Service planned to fund a specific project with a specific partner without running a competitive process. The project title is "NPS GOSP Big Fill Trail Repair," and the anticipated recipient is the Utah Conservation Corps. The total anticipated federal funding for the task is $40,000, with no cost share or matching funds required.
The award is structured as a Cooperative Agreement task award issued under an existing umbrella cooperative agreement known as the Mountain Alliance (agreement number H2495090038). The planned period of performance and overall agreement length both run through December 31, 2011, indicating a short, time-bounded project intended to be completed within that calendar year. The assistance listing tied to this funding is CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," and the category explanation emphasizes youth conservation. Statutory authorities cited include 16 U.S.C. 1g, 16 U.S.C. 7f, and 16 U.S.C. 1723(c), reflecting the legal basis for the National Park Service to enter into this type of cooperative, public-benefit partnership.
A key feature of the announcement is the single-source justification. The Department of the Interior requires written rationale when an assistance award is made without full and open competition, and this notice points to justification criterion #4, "Unique Qualifications." The NPS rationale is that the Utah Conservation Corps is a member organization within the established Mountain Alliance cooperative framework, and that this relationship provides community benefits such as youth employment and local service. The NPS also cites the Utah Conservation Corps past performance with the agency, the availability of a diverse workforce, and demonstrated technical capabilities as reasons it is uniquely positioned to carry out the work efficiently and effectively.
The announcement also highlights the public-purpose outcomes the NPS intends to support through this project, beyond the immediate trail repair itself. NPS describes a shared interest with the Utah Conservation Corps in completing conservation and environmental restoration projects in Utah park units while engaging young adults in hands-on stewardship. The Utah Conservation Corps mission is summarized as protecting and enhancing the environment while developing young people (generally ages 15 to 25) through conservation service, with an emphasis on building leadership, stewardship ethics, and civic engagement. Within the project context, the Corps is described as having proven ability to perform technical trail repair and construction, and to carry out basic historic preservation treatments when working under the direction of park resource specialists, which signals that some work may occur in areas where cultural resource considerations apply.
Administrative details in the notice include the identification of project leadership and contacts. The listed principal investigator/program manager names are Rodney Larsen and Scott Whitesides, and the National Park Service point of contact is Tina Holland. For access issues or questions about the announcement, the notice provides Tina Holland contact information (Agreements Specialist) including a phone number and email address. Finally, the posting and closing dates show how quickly this notice moved: it was posted May 4, 2011, with an original and current closing date of May 5, 2011, reinforcing that it functioned as a public notice of intent rather than a competitive solicitation period.
