Opportunity Summary:
The RECOVERY ACT Trail Maintenance / Repair opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS H9458090013) is a National Park Service cooperative agreement tied to American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funding. The purpose is to preserve natural resources at Mount Rainier National Park by supporting trail maintenance and repair work, including along the Wonderland Trail and other park trails. A major, clearly defined work element is rebuilding roughly one mile of the Glacier Basin Trail that was destroyed by flooding, with all construction and repairs required to meet National Park Service trail standards.
The project is structured around placing an EarthCorps trail crew into the park to work side by side with NPS trail maintenance staff. The crew consists of seven EarthCorps members who receive hands-on environmental and conservation experience while completing real trail construction and repair tasks. EarthCorps is responsible for the key logistical support needed to keep the crew operating in the field, including transportation, food, camp gear, and personal equipment such as packs, rain gear, boots, and other personal protective equipment and tools required for trail work.
In terms of schedule, the crew is expected to complete approximately three separate nine-day tours, with work beginning around July 26, 2009, and the project not extending beyond September 30, 2010. The announcement indicates there is only one expected award and lists an estimated total funding amount of $37,005.
