Opportunity Summary:
Recovery Act YELL 121640 TAS 14 1035 (NAICS 611699) is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement opportunity funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). Because ARRA dollars are involved, the award is tied to the Act's special transparency and reporting requirements. The notice states it is for informational purposes only, but it still lays out the core scope, funding level, eligibility, and timing associated with the project.
The project focuses on restoring and improving Yellowstone backcountry trail infrastructure by putting Montana Conservation Corps crews in the field alongside NPS staff. The work targets pre-selected sites where trail structures and surfaces have deteriorated or been damaged, and where natural resources have been affected by trail-related impacts. The overall goal is twofold: rebuild or repair critical trail features so they function safely and sustainably, and actively mitigate and rehabilitate damage to soils and vegetation in the surrounding environment.
Field tasks are described as hands-on trail construction and restoration using natural materials and established backcountry trail techniques. Specific work elements include construction and repair of bridges, turnpikes, and causeways; installation or improvement of drainage and erosion control systems; building or repairing retaining walls; and restoring tread surfaces. Environmental rehabilitation activities include re-contouring disturbed areas, placing natural barriers, and replanting using native materials such as rock, logs, and soil fill. The crews are also expected to use onsite native vegetation seeds, plugs, and transplants to help stabilize impacted areas and encourage recovery of local plant communities.
The opportunity anticipates using a range of hand and power tools appropriate for rugged trail work in remote settings. Tools listed include chainsaws, a Pionjar rock drill, grip hoists, crosscut saws, axes, Pulaskis, pick mattocks, shovels, rock bars, rock hammers, and loppers. This indicates the project includes heavy, technical labor such as moving and setting large natural materials, drilling rock when needed, cutting and clearing, and shaping trail surfaces to improve durability and drainage.
Administratively, the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, meaning NPS expects substantial involvement or collaboration during the project rather than a simple pass-through grant. The program is categorized under the Recovery Act and aligns with CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which fits the use of conservation corps crews for on-the-ground resource and infrastructure improvements. Only one award was expected, with total estimated funding of $40,000 and a fixed award ceiling and floor of $40,000, suggesting a single, defined project budget. Cost sharing or matching is required. Eligible applicants are limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education).
Key dates show the announcement was posted and created on April 14, 2010, with an original and current closing date of April 15, 2010, and an archive date of May 15, 2010, reflecting a very short application window typical of certain targeted or time-sensitive cooperative agreements. The listed agency is the National Park Service, and the point of contact is Tina Holland, Agreements Specialist, at 307-344-2082 for help accessing the full announcement electronically.
