Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "RECOVERY ACT PMIS 143313 National Park Service Recovery Act Rehabilitate Historic Agricultural Fields" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS ARRANOIWASO100004), was a National Park Service discretionary funding announcement issued under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The award instrument was a cooperative agreement, indicating that the project was expected to involve active collaboration between the National Park Service and the recipient rather than a simple pass-through grant. The funding activity aligns with Recovery Act priorities and is tied to CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which signals a strong emphasis on engaging youth crews in hands-on conservation and preservation work.
The core purpose of the project was to reconstruct a 17th century sluiceway used for historic agricultural field management. The scope was very specific: build a replacement sluiceway with functioning gates, a waterwheel, and a pump, and do so to the exact specifications of the existing structure. Rather than designing something new, the plan was to treat the current sluiceway as the authoritative reference. The existing structure would be carefully dismantled, and every part would be labeled and preserved as a template for fabricating new components. This approach reflects a preservation mindset focused on authenticity and replication, ensuring the rebuilt system matches historic design and function as closely as possible.
A notable feature of the project was the workforce and training component. Groundwork was identified as providing a Youth Preservation Training Work Crew to support multiple phases of the work, including dismantling the existing sluiceway, manufacturing replacement parts, and constructing the new sluiceway. In practical terms, that means the project was not only about repairing historic infrastructure but also about creating structured, supervised training and employment opportunities for young people in preservation trades and conservation-related construction. This ties directly to the CFDA program focus on youth service organizations performing conservation activities, and it also reflects Recovery Act goals of putting people to work quickly on public-benefit projects.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity was structured as a single, fixed-size award. The expected number of awards was one, and the total estimated funding was $87,497, with the award ceiling and floor both set at $87,497, meaning the National Park Service anticipated one recipient receiving exactly that amount. The announcement also required cost sharing or matching, so applicants would have needed to contribute non-federal resources (cash or allowable in-kind contributions) consistent with the terms described in the full announcement. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to a wide range of entities, as long as any additional eligibility clarifications in the announcement were met.
The posting timeline shows this was a very short-window Recovery Act solicitation. It was posted on April 28, 2010, and closed on April 30, 2010, with the archive date of May 30, 2010. That quick turnaround is consistent with Recovery Act-era funding that often moved on accelerated schedules to obligate funds promptly. For questions or access issues related to the full announcement, the point of contact was Jennifer Gartzke, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2755 (an email address was referenced but not provided in the source text you shared).
Overall, the opportunity funded a tightly defined historic reconstruction effort centered on restoring a working water-management feature (sluiceway, gates, waterwheel, pump) for historic agricultural fields, while simultaneously delivering workforce development through a youth preservation training crew. The cooperative agreement structure, the required match, the single award amount, and the short application window all point to a targeted, partner-driven project intended to be executed quickly and in close coordination with the National Park Service.
