Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "RECOVERY ACT Trail Maintenance / Repair" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS H9458090010) was issued by the National Park Service (NPS) using American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds that Congress directed to NPS for preservation work. The core purpose of the project is to protect and restore natural resources at Mount Rainier National Park by completing trail maintenance and flood-damage repairs along the Wonderland Trail, including rebuilding and rerouting sections that were destroyed or heavily impacted by flooding.
The work is structured around Washington Conservation Corps (WCC) field crews. WCC members are placed with the park to gain hands-on environmental and conservation experience while completing NPS-standard trail work. The project calls for two separate trail crews, each consisting of six people, and each crew includes a leader with prior NPS trail maintenance experience. WCC is responsible for outfitting and supporting these crews by providing transportation, food, basic trail maintenance tools (including chain saws), and all necessary camping and personal gear such as packs, rain gear, boots, and personal protective equipment. In other words, the cooperative agreement is meant to fund real on-the-ground trail construction and repair while also functioning as a workforce development and conservation service opportunity for crew members.
The scope of work is split into two main efforts. One crew focuses on repairing flood-damaged trails around Mount Rainier National Park, including building a 1,500-foot reroute on the Carbon River section of the Wonderland Trail. This crew begins work on July 26, 2009 and may continue as needed, but not beyond September 30, 2010. The second crew is tasked with constructing about one mile of new trail to replace a trail segment that flooding destroyed. That crew is expected to work for roughly 22 weeks starting July 26, 2009, also with all work concluding no later than September 30, 2010.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity is categorized as a Recovery Act-related funding activity and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. Only one award was expected, with an estimated total funding amount of $180,000. The listing references CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," and notes that cost sharing or matching is required. Eligibility was limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), and the notice emphasizes "unique qualifications" as the basis for selection. Specifically, the document states that the intended recipient is uniquely qualified due to factors like location, capacity for voluntary support, ability to cost share, reliability, strong work ethic, and an established positive work history with Mount Rainier National Park. The Washington Conservation Corps is described as a private nonprofit maintained within the State of Washington with a mission of promoting environmental and conservation awareness by assigning individuals to short-term placements with agencies and organizations.
A key detail is that this announcement was not a competitive solicitation. The posted closing language explicitly states it is a "Notice of Intent to Award" and "not a request for applications," meaning NPS intended to fund the described project without full and open competition. The announcement was posted July 7, 2009, and archived July 22, 2009. For access issues or questions, the listed contact was JoAnn Palmer, Purchasing Agent, at 360-569-2211 or joannpalmer@nps.gov.
