Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funded project at Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument in Arizona focused on removing abandoned grazing facilities and rehabilitating the disturbed sites. The work falls under NAICS 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors) and is framed as youth group services and conservation fieldwork that improves park resources by taking out no-longer-used ranching infrastructure and restoring impacted areas.
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary funding action using a cooperative agreement, tied to CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations." In practical terms, that means the project is structured as a partnership where NPS and the award recipient coordinate on project execution rather than a standard procurement contract for services. The announcement specifies that a cost share or matching contribution is required, so the recipient would be expected to contribute some combination of cash, third-party support, or allowable in-kind resources consistent with federal assistance rules and the specific agreement terms.
Funding for the project is fixed and small-scale: the estimated total funding is $44,400, and both the award ceiling and floor are also $44,400, indicating the NPS anticipated a single award at that exact amount. The expected number of awards is one. The posting date is April 7, 2010, with an original and current closing date of April 17, 2010, and an archive date of May 17, 2010, reflecting a short public posting window typical of informational notices or awards that are already directed.
Eligibility is listed generally as nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, the description makes it clear this particular task agreement "will be awarded to the American Conservation Experience," and it explicitly states the announcement is for informational purposes only. That language indicates the NPS was not seeking open competition through this posting, but rather documenting an intended or directed award consistent with ARRA reporting and transparency expectations.
Because the project is ARRA-funded, it is subject to Recovery Act requirements. While the notice does not spell out those requirements in detail, ARRA-funded agreements typically came with heightened expectations around accountability, documentation, and reporting (for example, tracking expenditures, project progress, and job or work-hours impacts) in addition to the normal federal assistance compliance obligations.
For anyone needing the full announcement but having trouble accessing it electronically, the notice provides a point of contact: Tekla Vines, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 707-951-4872 or by email at teklavines@nps.gov. The opportunity number associated with the listing is NPSARRAPARA100083, and the title references PARA 132068 and TAS 14 1035, which are internal identifiers used to track the project and task agreement within NPS financial and project management systems.
