Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "RECOVERY Construct Three Miles of Trail, REDW 148041, TAS 14 1035" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS ARRAREDW100039) is a National Park Service discretionary grant announcement connected to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). The basic purpose of the project is to construct three miles of trail, and it is categorized under the Recovery Act funding activity area. The listing also references NAICS 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), which signals that the work is construction-oriented and likely involves specialized field construction tasks rather than general building construction.
This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the National Park Service would typically expect substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The announcement anticipates a single award, with total estimated funding of $112,500. The award amount is fixed in this posting, with an award floor and ceiling both listed as $112,500, indicating the agency planned one award at that exact amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the applicant would not be required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, which narrows the applicant pool to state-level entities rather than local governments, nonprofits, tribes, universities, or private organizations. The CFDA number shown is 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations." Even though the described work is trail construction, the CFDA reference suggests the project may be tied to conservation-oriented programming and possibly youth conservation corps style participation or workforce engagement, depending on how the National Park Service intended to implement the cooperative agreement. However, the notice itself is sparse and does not provide specific performance requirements, location details, or technical specifications beyond the three-mile trail construction objective and the associated accounting/tracking identifiers (REDW 148041 and TAS 14 1035).
Because the project is funded under ARRA, it is explicitly subject to ARRA reporting requirements. In practical terms, ARRA awards generally required heightened transparency and periodic reporting on how funds were spent, project progress, and in many cases job-related metrics. The posting emphasizes that the announcement is "for informational purposes only," which commonly indicates that the agency may have had a predetermined recipient, a limited competition, or another procurement/award pathway, and that the public posting was intended mainly to satisfy transparency and documentation expectations rather than solicit broad applications.
Key dates show it was posted and created on April 16, 2010, with an original and current closing date of April 26, 2010, and an archive date of May 26, 2010. The short open period reinforces that this was not a long, open-ended competitive process. The official listing points users to Grants.gov for additional details, and it provides a point of contact for access issues: Tekla Vines, Contract Specialist, at 707-951-4872 or teklavines@nps.gov.
