Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00568
The Department of the Interior, National Park Service is offering a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Rehabilitate Two Foot Bridges in Prince William Forest Park" (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00568). The project is centered on repairing and rehabilitating two pedestrian bridges inside Prince William Forest Park through a partnership between the National Park Service (NPS) and a youth corps organization. The work is framed as both a park infrastructure and visitor safety improvement effort and a workforce development initiative that gives young people hands-on experience in historic preservation and skilled trades.
The scope includes two specific bridge-related efforts: "Repair Arch Bridge on South Valley Trail" and "Rehabilitate Historic Swinging Bridge." Youth participants will help repair, replace, and rehabilitate these trail bridges, with NPS staff collaborating closely on planning the work, estimating and procuring needed supplies, and teaching practical construction methods. A key part of the project is vocational training: participants are expected to learn techniques relevant to maintaining historic properties, preservation practices, and trade skills that are transferable beyond the park setting. The work will take place across two districts within the park, suggesting field crews will operate in more than one area and may need to coordinate logistics, safety planning, and materials staging across separate locations.
The intended outcomes are both tangible and educational. On the park side, rehabilitated bridges are meant to improve safety and security for visitors moving through trail corridors, which the opportunity notes should directly enhance the visitor experience. On the community and workforce side, the project emphasizes public benefit through employment and training opportunities for youth and young adults, using real-world rehabilitation tasks as a structured learning environment that builds job skills while delivering public infrastructure improvements.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The funding activity category is Employment, Labor and Training, and the CFDA (now Assistance Listing) number is 15.931. The opportunity was posted on Aug 21, 2019, with an original closing date of Aug 31, 2019. The award ceiling is $74,978, and the NPS expected to make one award, indicating a single partner organization would likely be selected to carry out the work in close coordination with NPS under the cooperative agreement structure.Apply for P19AS00568
