Opportunity Summary:
Recovery Act PMIS #013418 is a National Park Service (NPS) Recovery Act-funded cooperative agreement announcement tied to work at the Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site. The key point is that it is not a competitive grant solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that NPS intended to fund a specific set of project activities without competition, under an existing partnership approach focused on youth conservation and historic preservation training.
The project centers on restoring roughly 1,600 feet of historic dry-laid stone boundary walls that border the FDR Home site. These walls are described as being in mixed condition, with problems ranging from partial failures (such as the top course falling apart) to full sections that have collapsed. The proposed work is both a preservation effort and a structured training program: wall rehabilitation is used as the hands-on learning platform for a youth conservation crew.
The partnership structure involves NPS working with DSCI (identified in the announcement as the group supplying expert trainers in dry stone craft methods) and Groundwork USA through its local affiliate Groundwork Hudson Valley. Groundwork USA is referenced as operating under an existing cooperative agreement with NPS (H2495090024) and is described as an organization that provides youth from diverse backgrounds with hands-on training, skill development, and career exploration related to conserving and restoring natural and cultural resources. The planned training cohort consists of 12 Groundwork USA Youth Work Crew members plus 1 Youth Work Crew leader.
Training content combines classroom-style instruction and fieldwork. The curriculum includes an introduction to the theory, uses, and basic principles of dry stone construction, along with classroom presentations on NPS Cultural Resource Management and NPS preservation philosophy and methodologies. That classroom grounding is paired with practical, on-site instruction delivered while the crew rehabilitates the dry stone wall, meaning the restoration is the live training environment rather than a separate construction contract.
The stated joint objective is to complete a full training curriculum that equips the 12 youth crew members and their leader to carry out the rehabilitation of the dry stone boundary walls at the site. Responsibilities are divided in a fairly straightforward way. The recipient side is expected to coordinate the training curriculum with NPS and ensure the youth crew participates, while DSCI provides the specialized dry stone trainers and craft methodology instruction needed to complete the site-based training. NPS commits to coordinating participation logistics for the training session and providing an instructor to support DSCI, particularly for the preservation philosophy classroom component. The time commitment described is substantial: the youth crew and leader are scheduled for 40 hours per week for six weeks, framing this as an intensive, workforce-style learning experience rather than a short volunteer event.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS ARRAWASO1790100014, categorized as a discretionary Recovery Act program using a cooperative agreement instrument. It anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $110,765 (with the same figure shown as the award ceiling and an award floor of $1). No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated. The CFDA number is 15.931, labeled "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," and eligible applicants are described as nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), although the announcement itself clarifies that the intent was to fund without competition. Key dates shown include a posted and creation date of April 13, 2010, a closing date of April 22, 2010, and an archive date of May 22, 2010. A contact is provided for access issues: Heidi Sage, Contract Specialist (Contractor), with a phone number and NPS email field noted in the record.
