Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number LRH 15 0001) was a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Huntington District, under the Department of the Army. The project focus falls under natural resources and centers on bringing additional public-facing support to USACE lake operations through interpretation, education, and outreach related to water safety and local historical heritage. USACE planned to make a single award, with an anticipated maximum federal amount (award ceiling) of $65,000, and it did not require cost sharing or matching funds.
The core purpose of the agreement was to partner on a sole-source basis with the Student Conservation Association (SCA) to place Natural Resource Assistants at six Huntington District lakes. Staffing was structured as one assistant each at Paint Creek Lake, Dillon Lake, Alum Creek Lake, Delaware Lake, and Burnsville Lake, with two assistants assigned to Deer Creek Lake. These assistants were intended to serve as on-the-ground support for USACE staff, particularly in delivering public education and interpretive services tied to the Corps Water Safety Program and/or the Corps Historic Area Program.
The work described is heavily oriented toward direct public engagement. Expected duties included providing interpretive assistance to help implement USACE water safety and historic/heritage programming, delivering presentations at schools, parks, and special events, and giving guided tours of Corps dams. In addition to education and interpretation, assistants were also expected to support field operations by helping Corps Rangers with patrols, which suggests a role that blends visitor services with practical assistance in day-to-day recreation area management and public safety presence.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The opportunity was posted February 26, 2015, created February 25, 2015, and had an original and final closing date of March 5, 2015, with the listing later archived on April 4, 2015. While the agreement was framed as a way to enhance USACE programming capacity at the lakes, it was also clearly positioned as a workforce development and education effort, offering training and professional experience for SCA interns or participants with backgrounds in interpretation, parks and recreation, history, conservation, biology, and related fields.
For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact was Valerie Carlton, Supervisory Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 615-736-7976.
