Opportunity Summary:
The Recovery Act Iditarod National Historic Trail (INHT) Safety Shelters Development, Alaska grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number ARRA BLM AK RFA 10 1874) was a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior to support construction of new winter safety shelters along Alaska's Iditarod National Historic Trail. Issued under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Recovery Act), the project focus was straightforward and highly specific: build four log safety shelters to reduce risk for winter trail users traveling through extremely remote parts of the route. The shelters were planned as 12 by 12 foot log structures, designed for placement on uninhabited segments of the trail located roughly 45 to 75 air miles from the nearest community, where weather exposure, distance, and limited emergency response options can quickly turn routine travel into a life-threatening situation.
The stated purposes of the work were threefold. First, it aimed to improve public safety by providing reliable emergency refuge points for travelers facing severe cold, storms, injury, equipment failure, or navigation problems. Second, it was intended to support improved trail maintenance, since established shelter locations can serve as practical hubs for maintenance activity and can help organize and sustain stewardship efforts in hard-to-access areas. Third, the project sought to encourage trail use by making travel along remote stretches more feasible and less intimidating, which can benefit recreation and heritage-related visitation connected to the historic trail.
Funding was offered through a cooperative agreement, signaling that the federal agency expected to remain substantively involved in the project rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The opportunity listed a single expected award, with total estimated funding of $170,000. Both the award ceiling and floor were set at $170,000, indicating a fixed-size award for the full scope as described rather than a range of possible award amounts. A cost sharing or matching requirement applied, meaning the selected recipient would be expected to contribute non-federal resources as part of the overall project cost, consistent with the announcement's requirements.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, open to any type of entity, subject to any clarifications included in the full announcement. The funding activity fell under CFDA 15.225 (Recreation Resource Management), aligning the project with federal goals related to recreational access, visitor safety, and stewardship of public lands and trails. The announcement was posted and created on February 17, 2010, with an original and current closing date of March 18, 2010, and an archive date of April 30, 2010. Additional details and the full application package were available via Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access issues was Sandra S. Smith (s2smith@blm.gov).
