Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service released a one-time Recovery Act grant opportunity titled "RECOVERY - Repair Wheeler Peak Trail to Increase Accessibility, Great Basin National Park, GRBA 101105, TAS 14 1035" under Funding Opportunity Number NPS ARRAGRBA100316. The project focused on repairing the Wheeler Peak Trail in Great Basin National Park, Nevada, with the stated purpose of increasing accessibility. The work aligns with NAICS 238990, "All Other Specialty Trade Contractors," signaling that the effort was oriented toward specialized, on-the-ground trail repair and improvement activities rather than planning or research.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, meaning the recipient would typically work in close coordination with the National Park Service during implementation rather than operating entirely independently. It was categorized as a Recovery Act (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009) funded activity and therefore carried ARRA-specific reporting requirements, which generally emphasize transparency, documentation of expenditures, and tracking of outcomes consistent with Recovery Act oversight expectations. The posting explicitly noted that the announcement was for informational purposes only, indicating it was likely tied to a specific program context or intended recipient pool rather than a broad, open-ended solicitation.
Only one award was expected, and the funding amount was fixed: the estimated total funding was $40,368, with an award ceiling and award floor both set at $40,368. In practical terms, that means the National Park Service anticipated making a single cooperative agreement at that exact amount rather than awarding a range of possible budgets. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds to be considered.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The listing included CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which suggests the work may have been structured to support conservation fieldwork carried out through youth-focused service or conservation corps-style programming, consistent with the hands-on nature of trail rehabilitation and accessibility improvements.
Key dates show the opportunity moved quickly. It was posted and created on April 6, 2010, and closed on April 16, 2010, with the archive date listed as May 16, 2010. That short open period is typical of narrowly scoped, time-sensitive Recovery Act projects where the agency aimed to obligate funds and begin work promptly.
For access to the full announcement, the listing pointed to Grants.gov (http://www.grants.gov). The contact for assistance was Tekla Vines, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 707-951-4872 or by email at telavines@nps.gov, with instructions to contact her if there were issues accessing the full announcement electronically.
