Opportunity Summary:
Recovery NPS Corridor Trail Rehab (Funding Opportunity Number R8219092138) was a National Park Service cooperative agreement opportunity funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) for fiscal year 2010. The project was designed to support cyclic trail maintenance and rehabilitation work on ARRA-funded trail projects at Grand Canyon National Park (GRCA), with work occurring as needed on either the North Rim or the South Rim. The overall intent was to improve and restore heavily used corridor trail infrastructure through hands-on repair and reconstruction activities directed by NPS priorities.
The scope of work focused on practical, field-based trail and structure rehabilitation across multiple locations in the park, with assignments shifting day to day based on NPS direction and changing project needs. Work elements included repairing mortar-set and dry-laid masonry walls, repairing or replacing stone liners, installing riprap trail tread and log checks for stabilization and erosion control, and repairing or replacing trail surfaces made of asphalt, concrete, or native soil. The project also included quarrying and transporting materials such as stone and soil, which are essential to matching existing trail character and maintaining durable tread and retaining features in a rugged environment.
A key operational constraint was the park setting itself. Because many corridor trails have narrow alignments and pass through areas with fragile vegetation and sensitive wildlife, the opportunity emphasized low-impact material handling methods. Contractor and NPS crew members were expected to move materials from staging areas to specific work sites by hand or wheelbarrow rather than using mechanized transport, consistent with compliance requirements intended to reduce resource damage and disturbance. This detail signals that successful performance required not just construction ability, but also strong backcountry logistics, safety practices, and an understanding of working within protected natural and cultural resource settings.
The NPS intended to manage work priorities and site assignments, with NPS staff informing work leaders of daily objectives. The contractor role was framed as flexible support: assisting NPS staff as needed to meet project goals, sometimes working under direct supervision and other times operating independently. In some cases, NPS staff would provide tools, a defined scope, and expected outcomes, and contractor staff would be responsible for delivering measurable results with minimal oversight. The announcement also noted that requirements could evolve as the work progressed, reflecting the reality of field conditions, changing maintenance discoveries, and adaptive sequencing common in trail rehabilitation projects.
From an administrative standpoint, this was categorized as an Earmark opportunity using a Cooperative Agreement funding instrument under the Recovery Act activity category. The program CFDA number listed was 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations, and the only eligible applicants were 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations other than institutions of higher education. The opportunity anticipated a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $172,800, and it did not require cost sharing or matching funds.
The timeline was very short. The opportunity was posted on April 28, 2010, and closed on April 30, 2010, with an archive date of May 30, 2010. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the contact listed was Deborah Cimmer, Contract Specialist, at 928-638-7434.
