Opportunity Information: Apply for P16AS00267
This Notice of Intent describes a National Park Service (NPS) plan to issue a noncompetitive cooperative agreement for vegetation control and invasive plant removal work inside the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park. The opportunity is tied to an existing cooperative agreement (P15AC00012) between the U.S. Department of the Interior/NPS and the Citizen Conservation Corps of West Virginia (CCCWV). In practical terms, the NPS is not seeking open competition for this award; it is signaling its intent to fund CCCWV under the established partnership framework and its pre-set terms and conditions, unless the task agreement specifies otherwise.
The core purpose of the project is to protect and restore the park's historic stone infrastructure by removing vegetation that threatens structural stability and proper function. The scope centers on clearing plant growth from a range of masonry and stone features that are integral to the historic canal system, including stone culverts, canal locks, flumes, abutments, retaining or boundary walls, and any other historic stone structures within park boundaries identified by NPS as needing treatment. Vegetation and invasive plants can accelerate deterioration by forcing apart joints, trapping moisture against stonework, and destabilizing mortar and foundations, so this type of work is framed as both resource conservation and historic preservation.
Implementation is expected to be carried out by four separate field crews led by CCCWV and operating within the park. The crews are tasked with bringing targeted structures "back to standard operation procedure," which in this context means returning these assets to a maintained condition consistent with NPS management standards, reducing ongoing damage risk, and improving the reliability and safety of the historic structures. The NPS retains decision authority over where work is needed most, indicating that specific sites and priorities will be determined by the park based on resource conditions.
The opportunity emphasizes public-benefit outcomes consistent with conservation corps partnerships. Beyond the on-the-ground preservation work, the underlying cooperative agreement is described as supporting community strengthening and revitalization, building self-esteem, providing educational enhancements, and creating employment opportunities through meaningful work experiences for youth and adults. That framing signals that workforce development and hands-on training are an intended secondary benefit alongside the primary goal of conserving and enhancing natural and cultural resources.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement instrument under the Natural Resources activity category (CFDA 15.931). The funding opportunity number is P16AS00267. The posting lists an expected single award, with an award ceiling of $227,732. The opportunity was created on June 16, 2016, with an original closing date of June 26, 2016, reflecting the short timeline typical of noncompetitive notices where the recipient is already identified and the announcement serves primarily as a formal public notification of intent to award.Apply for P16AS00267
