Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0058
Youth Perform Cyclic Maintenance on Ruins at ALPO is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement action that supports hands-on youth conservation work at Allegheny Portage Railroad National Historic Site in Pennsylvania. The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 18 NERO 0058 (CFDA 15.931) and sits in the Employment, Labor and Training activity area. The federal agency involved is the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and the instrument type is a cooperative agreement. The notice was created on June 25, 2018, with an original closing date of July 4, 2018, an expected single award, and a funding ceiling of $45,790.
A key point in the announcement is that it is not a request for applications. Instead of being an open competition, it serves as a public notice that NPS intended to make a task agreement award under an existing master cooperative agreement that had already been competed (or was otherwise justified as single source). Specifically, the work would be carried out under Master Cooperative Agreement P15AC00012 between NPS and the Citizens Conservation Corps of West Virginia (WVCCC). That master agreement is framed around community strengthening and revitalization goals, including building self-esteem, providing educational benefits, and creating employment and meaningful work experiences for youth and adults, while also conserving, developing, and enhancing natural resources.
The on-the-ground project focus is cyclic maintenance and resource management along the 1830s-era Allegheny Portage Historic Railroad Trace, particularly Levels 6 through 10. This corridor runs from Cresson, Pennsylvania, to Duncansville, Pennsylvania, generally paralleling "Old" Route 22. Within that larger stretch, the announcement highlights targeted work at the historic Engine House foundations and other structural ruins associated with Levels 8 and 9. These ruins are part of the site’s cultural landscape, so the planned maintenance is both preservation-oriented and practical, aimed at keeping the area stable, accessible, and protected from ongoing deterioration.
The scope of work described includes removing invasive plant species and clearing rotten or fallen timbers and related debris. It also calls for cleaning and restoring function to drainage features by removing debris from more than 1,000 square feet of drains and culverts. In addition, the work involves rehabilitation of retaining walls along the Level 8 and 9 ruins. Taken together, these tasks reflect typical cyclic maintenance needs at historic sites where vegetation, water flow, and structural remnants interact, and where unmanaged growth and blocked drainage can quickly accelerate erosion and damage to historic fabric.
Beyond the physical maintenance, the announcement emphasizes workforce and educational outcomes for local youth. Participants are expected to gain stewardship experience through direct service projects that help preserve the historic landscape and associated cultural assets at the park. The program is positioned as a way to introduce youth to stewardship careers, especially in asset management tied to natural and cultural landscape skills. It also aims to build longer-term civic engagement by encouraging youth to become involved in protecting cultural and historical resources in their own communities and beyond.
Eligibility information in the listing notes that the relevant applicant type is a nonprofit organization with IRS 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). Practically, though, the notice makes clear that the intended award pathway is through the existing NPS-WVCCC master cooperative agreement rather than a standard open application process, which is why the announcement functions mainly as transparency and public documentation of NPS’s intent to fund this specific youth stewardship maintenance effort at ALPO.Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0058
