Opportunity Summary:

This grant opportunity, titled "RECOVERY Repair Damage To Timber Creek Trail, Great Basin National Park, Youth Group Services" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS ARRAGRBA100315), was a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding announcement tied to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). The project focus was repairing damage to the Timber Creek Trail in Great Basin National Park under internal identifiers GRBA 101103 and TAS 14 1035, and it referenced NAICS Code 238990, which covers "All Other Specialty Trade Contractors." Because ARRA funds were involved, the award was explicitly subject to ARRA-specific reporting and accountability requirements, meaning the recipient would have been required to track and report on the use of federal stimulus funds in line with the Act.

The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the federal agency expected to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The activity category was listed as "Recovery Act," and the CFDA program number was 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," signaling that the work was intended to be performed through a youth conservation or service framework rather than a conventional construction procurement. The opportunity listed one expected award and did not require cost sharing or matching funds, so the federal award amount was intended to cover the full project cost as structured.

Financially, the announcement was very specific and essentially fixed-price in its grant structure: the estimated total funding was $35,517, with an award ceiling of $35,517 and an award floor of $35,517. In other words, the agency anticipated making a single award at exactly that amount. Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, the description also makes clear that this announcement was primarily informational rather than a competitive solicitation, stating that the task agreement would be awarded to the Nevada Conservation Corps. That language strongly suggests the NPS had already selected the implementing partner and posted the notice to document the intended award and funding action.

The posting timeline reflects a short open period typical of informational or pre-identified partner announcements. It was posted and created on April 6, 2010, with an original and current closing date of April 16, 2010, and it was later archived on May 16, 2010. Anyone needing help accessing the full announcement electronically was directed to contact Tekla Vines, Contract Specialist, at 707-951-4872 or teklavines@nps.gov, and the listing pointed to Grants.gov for additional information.
