Opportunity Summary:
Recovery Act YELL 8438 TAS 14 1035 (NAICS 611699) is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement opportunity funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). Because it uses ARRA dollars, the award is subject to the Act's reporting and accountability requirements. The posting notes that the announcement is for informational purposes only, which typically indicates a very specific intended partner or a limited competitive window tied to an urgent project timeline and recovery-funding compliance.
The project focuses on on-the-ground trail restoration and natural resource rehabilitation within the Shelf Lake Trail infrastructure at pre-selected sites. Montana Conservation Corps (MCC) crews will work in the field alongside NPS staff to realign and rebuild sections of trail, repair or replace damaged trail structures, and address deterioration in trail surfaces. The core intent is to restore safe, sustainable trail conditions while reducing ongoing impacts to soils, vegetation, and nearby natural resources that can result from poor drainage, erosion, or informal user-created paths around damaged segments.
Planned work includes a broad mix of trail construction and rehabilitation methods using natural materials. Specific tasks include constructing and repairing bridges and other crossing structures; building turnpikes and causeways in wet or unstable areas; installing or improving drainage and erosion control features; constructing retaining walls where needed for slope stability; and restoring trail tread surfaces to appropriate grade, width, and durability. In parallel with structural repairs, the crews will mitigate and rehabilitate environmental impacts by recontouring disturbed areas, placing natural barriers to discourage off-trail travel, and replanting impacted zones. The rehabilitation approach emphasizes native and site-appropriate materials, including native rock, logs, and soil fill, along with on-site native vegetation seeds, plugs, and transplants to re-establish ground cover and stabilize soils.
Field operations are described as tool-intensive, reflecting the rugged, conservation-oriented nature of the work. Crews are expected to use a range of hand tools and power tools as required, including chainsaws; a Pionjar rock drill for drilling into rock for anchoring or structure work; a Grip hoist for controlled pulling and moving heavy materials; and traditional trail tools such as crosscut saws, axes, Pulaskis, pick mattocks, shovels, rock bars, rock hammers, and loppers. This combination suggests work in remote or semi-remote trail settings where mechanized equipment may be limited and where minimizing ecological disturbance is important.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as "Other" and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, indicating substantial involvement by the federal agency (NPS) in coordination, oversight, or joint project implementation. The program is associated with CFDA 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations, aligning with the use of conservation corps crews and workforce development elements common to youth service and stewardship programs. The total estimated funding is $40,000, with an award floor and ceiling both listed at $40,000, implying a single, fixed-size award (ExpectedAwards: 1). Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient must contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or allowable in-kind support such as labor, equipment, or donated services) consistent with the agreement terms.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity was posted on April 27, 2010, with an original and current closing date of April 28, 2010, and an archive date of May 28, 2010. The one-day application window strongly suggests a narrow, time-sensitive solicitation, often consistent with a pre-identified partner arrangement or a rapidly executed ARRA implementation schedule. For access issues or assistance, the listed NPS contact is Tina Holland, Agreements Specialist, at 307-344-2082.
