Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0086
The "Youth Repair /Rehab Historic Carriage Roads and Trails" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 18 NERO 0086) is a National Park Service notice stating its intent to make a single cooperative agreement award, rather than an open call for applications. The announcement is explicitly not a request for applications; it functions as a public notification that the NPS plans to issue a task agreement under an existing master cooperative agreement that was already competed or otherwise justified as a single source action. In practical terms, this means the NPS has already identified the partner framework it intends to use and is not soliciting new proposals through this posting.
The planned award would be made under Master Cooperative Agreement P15AC00012 between the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and the Vermont Youth Conservation Corps (VYCC). The purpose of that master agreement is to promote education and job training for young people while fostering responsible citizenship, community involvement, and a stronger understanding and stewardship of natural and cultural resources. The activity category is Employment, Labor and Training (CFDA 15.931), reflecting that the project is designed as a workforce development and service-learning effort alongside on-the-ground conservation work.
The project itself focuses on addressing deferred maintenance across approximately 20 miles of historic carriage roads and trails and related cultural landscape features within the park. Work activities listed in the notice include stonework repair; bridge and culvert repair; trail treadway reconditioning; fence repairs; resolving drainage problems; clearing vegetation that is encroaching on historic road and trail features; tree pruning and broader forest management along roads and trails; and invasive species removal. Collectively, these tasks are aimed at improving visitor and resource safety, protecting historic infrastructure, and restoring the functionality and integrity of trail and carriage road systems that require ongoing maintenance.
Youth engagement is central to the project design. The NPS intends to support hands-on service opportunities delivered through three separate crews: two Community Conservation Crews and one Fall Leadership Crew. The two Community Conservation Crews include one 4-week crew and one 8-week crew, each composed of 8 youth members and 2 crew leaders. The Fall Leadership Crew is planned as a 4-week team with 6 crew members. Beyond completing maintenance work, these crews are meant to build practical conservation skills, leadership experience, and pathways toward future employment in stewardship and conservation-related fields, while strengthening participants' connection to public lands and cultural resources.
In terms of funding and administrative details, the instrument type is a cooperative agreement, with an expected single award and an award ceiling of $98,000. The posting lists eligible applicants generally as 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), but because this is an intent-to-award notice tied to an existing master cooperative agreement, it is not structured as a competitive opportunity for new applicants. The notice was created on July 17, 2018, with an original closing date of July 26, 2018, which in this context primarily serves as an administrative timeline for the public notice rather than an application deadline for the general public.Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0086
