Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Washington Conservation Corps Maintenance of Olympic National Park Roadsides, Trails, Campgrounds, Utilities, and Historic Landscapes" is a National Park Service (NPS) funding action under the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on supporting conservation and maintenance work at Olympic National Park. The NPS planned to issue this as a cooperative agreement in the environment funding category, with a single expected award totaling $150,000. The award amount was fixed, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $150,000, and it included a cost sharing or matching requirement.
This opportunity was explicitly designed as a noncompetitive, single source award to the State of Washington, Washington Conservation Corps (WCC), based on "Unique Qualifications" as allowed under Department of the Interior policy (referenced as 505 DM 2). In practical terms, that means the NPS determined that WCC had specific capabilities and circumstances that justified funding them directly without opening the project up for broad competition. The public notice emphasizes that this announcement was not a request for applications; it was posted to inform the public of the NPS intent to fund these activities without full and open competition.
The main purpose of the project funding is to carry out maintenance and conservation work across key park infrastructure and resource areas, including roadsides, trails, campgrounds, utilities, and historic landscapes. While the announcement does not list individual work tasks in detail, the scope signals routine and priority field maintenance essential to visitor access, public safety, protection of park assets, and long term stewardship of both natural and cultural resources.
A central theme of the award is youth engagement and workforce development. The NPS highlights the value of youth programs as a way to help young Americans understand preservation and stewardship, expand access for youth from varied social and economic backgrounds, and provide practical training that builds job skills while reinforcing conservation values. Olympic National Park also links this work to local economic stimulus, indicating that employing local crews and circulating federal funds through community based programs is part of the broader intent.
WCC was identified as particularly well suited because it is a Washington State organization that primarily employs local young adults ages 18 to 25, aligning closely with the NPS youth service and conservation mission. The announcement notes several reasons for WCCs unique qualification: proximity and location advantages for work in and around Olympic National Park, the organizations technical expertise and preparedness, and its ability to provide cost sharing through AmeriCorps grants supporting annual and six month crew agreements. The structure of WCC crews is also described: each crew includes five laborers and a leader, and they bring their own transportation and tools, which reduces logistical burden and can improve cost effectiveness for the park.
The opportunity is tied to CFDA number 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," reinforcing that the award is part of a federal conservation and youth service framework. Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number J9512100052, a posted and created date of July 30, 2010, and an original and current closing date of August 4, 2010, with an archive date of September 3, 2010. Eligibility was restricted to the State of Washington, Washington Conservation Corps, reflecting the single source nature of the action. For access issues or additional questions, the listed contact was Rodney Roberson, Contract Specialist, at 360-565-3024.
