Opportunity Summary:
The Trails and Road Exit Glacier Kenai Fjords National Park opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P12AS10397) is a National Park Service (NPS) Alaska Region notice of intent to make a single, sole-source cooperative agreement award under the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993. The project centers on conserving natural and cultural resources and maintaining environmentally important lands and waters in and around the Exit Glacier area of Kenai Fjords National Park by engaging young adults in hands-on conservation work. In practical terms, the funding supports youth conservation corps-style trail and road related work that helps keep park infrastructure functional while protecting surrounding resources.
The intended partner for this sole-source award is the Southeast Alaska Guidance Association/Youth Corps (SAGA), identified as a cooperator under the Public Lands Corps framework. The announcement emphasizes SAGA's role in providing participants with structured education and work opportunities designed to build appreciation for natural and cultural resources. It also highlights that these programs can offer participants a pathway to help pay for higher education while delivering on-the-ground benefits to the local economy and the environment. The NPS rationale is that youth conservation corps programs have a demonstrated track record of restoring and maintaining resources in a cost-effective and efficient manner, and that SAGA crew members will be encouraged to connect what they learn to everyday life through service that improves the land and communities associated with Kenai Fjords National Park.
Financially, the opportunity is listed as a discretionary funding action using a cooperative agreement, with one expected award and total estimated funding of $35,831. The award ceiling and floor are both $35,831, indicating the NPS anticipated a single fixed award amount for this effort. A cost sharing requirement applies: participants must provide a 25 percent match to the federal funds, consistent with Public Lands Corps Act requirements. The opportunity is tied to CFDA 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations.
Key administrative details include an original and current closing date of May 29, 2012, with posting and creation dated April 30, 2012, and an archive date of June 28, 2012. Eligible applicants are described as nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education, aligning with the specific organizational eligibility often associated with Public Lands Corps cooperators and related youth service organizations. For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed point of contact is Tina Spengler, Contract Specialist, at 907-644-3303.
