Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "RECOVERY ACT DOI NATIONAL PARK SERVICE, Rehabilitate Hazardous Historic Bridle Trails, Rock Creek Park" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS ARRANOI3450090459), was a National Park Service project funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). It focused on Rock Creek Park in Washington, DC, with the core purpose of improving visitor safety and restoring historic trail infrastructure by rehabilitating hazardous segments of the park's trail system. The work described centered on hands-on trail restoration carried out by youth corps personnel in collaboration with National Park Service maintenance staff.
The project scope was substantial for a single park unit: youth crews were expected to help restore about 13 miles of historic bridle trails and about 23 miles of foot trails across Rock Creek Park. In practical terms, this kind of rehabilitation typically involves stabilizing trail surfaces, correcting drainage and erosion issues, clearing and repairing tread and trail features, and addressing conditions that create hazards for equestrians and pedestrians. Because the trails are described as "historic," the work would also be expected to respect the character and traditional alignments of the trail system while making it safer and more sustainable.
The award was issued as a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency and the recipient would work collaboratively rather than treating the award as a standard pass-through grant. The total anticipated funding amount was fixed, with an award ceiling and floor both listed at $144,847, and the opportunity anticipated making a single award. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowered the barrier for eligible youth service organizations to participate. The CFDA number associated with the program was 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which aligns with projects that combine conservation outcomes with youth training and workforce development.
Eligibility was limited to Public Land Corps or Youth Corps organizations (the listing also uses a general "Others" label with clarification in the eligibility text). The announcement also included a "Notice of Intent to Award" stating that the award would be made using streamlined competition procedures specifically approved for youth projects under ARRA. The description explicitly referenced the Student Conservation Association as the organization positioned to provide interns for the work, emphasizing the educational and workforce development angle: interns would learn from resource management professionals and gain practical, tangible field skills while supporting NPS priority maintenance and rehabilitation needs.
Timing-wise, the opportunity was posted and created on December 3, 2009, with an original and current closing date of December 13, 2009, and it was later archived on January 12, 2010. For questions or access issues, the contact listed was Rita Oliver, Contract Specialist, at 301-432-7890.
