Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS DOIP19AC00214
The Trail Maintenance on Portage Creek (Joe Thompson) Trail opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not an open solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as public notice that NPS plans to issue a task agreement under an existing master cooperative agreement that was either previously competed or supported by a single-source justification. The work is tied to trail maintenance on the Portage Creek (Joe Thompson) Trail and is associated with Lake Clark National Park and Preserve, specifically within the park's Division of Facility Maintenance.
The anticipated recipient is the Student Conservation Association (SCA), operating under Master Cooperative Agreement Number P15AC00031. The legal authority cited is the Public Lands Corps statute (16 USC 1723(c)(1)), which allows the Secretary of the Interior to enter into contracts or cooperative agreements with qualified youth or conservation corps to carry out conservation projects. The notice also references the broader authority to conduct certain projects on federal, state, local, or private lands in connection with disaster prevention or relief under the Stafford Act framework, although this particular project is presented as a conservation and maintenance effort rather than a declared-disaster response.
Funding is expected to total 38,600 in federal support, with an identified non-federal cost share of 14,071.20. The award instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically implies substantial involvement by the federal agency in coordinating or participating in the project compared to a standard grant. The planned period of performance is short and seasonal, running from 7/22/2019 through 8/24/2019, consistent with fieldwork timing in Alaska and the practical window for trail projects.
The program is listed under CFDA 15.931, titled Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations, and the activity category is described as Employment, Labor and Training. The core purpose is workforce development in a conservation setting: the stated project goal is to support or stimulate work, education, and training opportunities for young adults through collaborative participation with the park's facilities maintenance staff. The project objectives emphasize skill-building for interns, aiming to develop their technical abilities to succeed on facilities management projects and to give them a chance to apply those skills directly to a trail maintenance assignment.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number NPS DOIP19AC00214, created May 28, 2019, with an original closing date of June 8, 2019, and an expected number of awards of one, reinforcing that this notice is tied to a pre-identified partner rather than a competitive application process. The listed point of contact for the notice is Kevin Downs. Eligible applicant categories are included in the record (notably 501(c)(3) nonprofits other than higher education institutions), but in practice the notice makes clear that the intended award is to SCA through the existing cooperative agreement framework.Apply for NPS DOIP19AC00214
