Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS ARRANOICOWP090001) was a National Park Service (NPS) project funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and focused on trail infrastructure and safety improvements at Cowpens National Battlefield. The core purpose was to use youth corps personnel, working alongside park staff, to remove and replace six trail bridges along a two-mile nature trail so the route could better support both pedestrian and equestrian use. Beyond the bridge work, the project also included repairing damaged trail tread and removing hazardous trees along the corridor to improve visitor safety and reduce maintenance and risk issues on the trail.
The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS anticipated an active partnership role rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The opportunity was categorized as discretionary and tied to Recovery Act objectives, with an emphasis on conservation work performed by youth service organizations. The applicable CFDA listing was 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which signals that the work was intended to align with programs that develop conservation skills and provide structured service and employment opportunities for young people while completing tangible improvements on public lands.
Financially, the opportunity was structured as a single award with a total estimated funding amount of $32,195, and the award ceiling and floor were both set at $32,195, effectively indicating a fixed expected award size. A cost sharing or matching requirement applied, so the recipient would be expected to contribute some form of non-federal share consistent with the agreement terms. The anticipated number of awards was one, and eligibility was limited to Public Land Corps or Youth Corps organizations, reflecting the programmatic aim of placing youth crews on conservation and recreation projects.
The announcement also included a formal notice of intent to award under streamlined competition procedures for youth projects authorized under ARRA. It specifically pointed to the Student Conservation Association (SCA) as particularly well-suited due to its long history delivering trail and conservation projects in national parks and other protected areas, along with established organizational experience, leadership capacity, and a pipeline of qualified crew members. In practical terms, that notice signaled that the agency expected to move quickly toward awarding to an organization with proven trail construction and maintenance expertise, rather than running a long, open-ended competition.
Timing details show the announcement was posted and created on September 28, 2009, with an original and current closing date of October 4, 2009, and an archive date of November 3, 2009, reflecting a short application window consistent with the streamlined ARRA approach. For questions or difficulty accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Rose McClelland, Contracting Specialist, reachable by phone at 504-589-3882 or by email at rosemcclelland@nps.gov.
