Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0059
The grant opportunity titled "Youth Perform Rehabilitation of Quarters 1" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 18 NERO 0059) is a National Park Service notice announcing its intent to make a single task agreement award under an existing master cooperative agreement, rather than opening a new competitive application process. In other words, this posting is meant as public notice only and is explicitly not a request for applications. The arrangement is being issued through a previously competed (or otherwise justified) Master Cooperative Agreement, Number P15AC00031, between the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS) and The Student Conservation Association (SCA).
The purpose of the underlying cooperative agreement is workforce and youth development in conservation and historic preservation settings. The NPS and SCA partnership is framed around building the next generation of conservation leaders and encouraging long-term environmental and community stewardship by placing young people in hands-on service roles that also include outdoor skills development and leadership training. For this specific task agreement, youth participants are expected to work under the oversight of NPS technical staff, with the Historic Architecture, Conservation, and Engineering (HACE) staff providing technical direction during the summer of 2018.
The funded project focuses on completing exterior rehabilitation work for a specific historic structure: Quarters 1 at Fort Monroe National Monument (FOMR) in Fort Monroe, Virginia. The work scope is practical and trades-oriented, aimed at repairing and restoring key exterior components while maintaining historic fabric where applicable. Anticipated activities include repairing porch deck framing members, installing replacement deck boards, and installing replacement porch columns. The project also includes surface preparation and painting of exterior elements such as trim, decking, and columns.
In addition to carpentry and painting, the scope includes masonry rehabilitation on brick and stone elements. That work is described as including stone patching, brick repointing, and cleaning, all of which are common preservation tasks intended to stabilize historic masonry, improve weather resistance, and maintain the building's historic character. A documentation component is also required: the team will record completed work using photographs and written narratives, which helps the NPS track what was done, supports preservation records, and provides accountability for the rehabilitation effort.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement funding instrument, and it falls under the funding activity category of Employment, Labor and Training. The CFDA number listed is 15.931. The eligible applicant type noted is nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), though the notice makes clear that the NPS plans to award through the existing master agreement framework rather than conduct an open competition. The posting lists an expected single award, with an award ceiling of $39,981. The opportunity was created on July 7, 2018, with an original closing date of July 16, 2018, reflecting the short public-notice window typical of intent-to-award announcements tied to pre-existing cooperative agreements.Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0059
