Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "RECOVERY ACT DOI NATIONAL PARK SERVICE REPAIR OF TRAIL SURFACE IN DENALI NATIONAL PARK/PRESERVE" was a National Park Service (NPS) project funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The core purpose of the project was straightforward: to improve and repair trail surfaces in Denali National Park and Preserve by pairing youth corps personnel with park staff. In practical terms, the funding was meant to support on-the-ground trail maintenance and rehabilitation work that protects visitor access and safety while also helping reduce resource impacts that can occur when trails degrade.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, which typically means the NPS expected to remain actively involved in the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The funding activity category is explicitly tied to the Recovery Act, emphasizing both short-term job and training impacts and longer-term improvements to public infrastructure and lands. Only one award was expected, and the amount was fixed: the award ceiling and floor were both listed as $61,086, indicating the NPS anticipated making a single award at that exact level rather than considering a range of project budgets.
Eligibility was limited to Public Land Corps or other qualifying youth organizations, consistent with the CFDA listing provided (15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations"). The announcement also stated that cost sharing or matching was required, meaning the recipient would need to contribute additional resources beyond the federal share, such as cash, in-kind services, volunteer time, or other allowable match depending on the specific agreement terms.
A key feature of the posting is that it functioned as a Notice of Intent to Award. The NPS indicated it was proceeding under approved streamlined competition procedures for youth projects under ARRA, which signals the agency had an established process to move quickly in making youth conservation-related awards during the Recovery Act period. The text specifically highlights the Student Conservation Association (SCA) as being well suited to deliver the required interns and technical capacity. It also emphasizes the workforce-development side of the project: interns would learn from resource management professionals and gain tangible skills and experience while completing the trail surface repairs. That framing shows the project was designed not only to accomplish maintenance needs in Denali, but also to provide structured, hands-on conservation training and early-career exposure to public land management work.
The opportunity was posted and created on August 24, 2009, with an original and current closing date of September 4, 2009. It was later archived on October 4, 2009. The listing included a point of contact for access issues: Joy Kucinski, Supervisory Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 907-644-3301.
