Opportunity Information: Apply for W9127N2420008
The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Portland District is offering a discretionary cooperative agreement to support natural resource management work at the Bonneville Lock and Dam, spanning USACE-managed lands in Skamania County, Washington and Multnomah County, Oregon. The core purpose is twofold: to carry out on-the-ground land stewardship and habitat restoration that helps USACE meet its environmental stewardship responsibilities, and to create structured education and training opportunities for people in nearby communities who participate through the selected organization. In practical terms, the award is meant to turn the ongoing maintenance and natural resource needs of these public lands into hands-on workforce training that builds skills while improving ecological conditions and visitor areas.
The project focus centers on implementing best practices in natural resources management across several types of sites within the Bonneville Lock and Dam jurisdiction, including both high-use and low-use recreation areas as well as operational and facilities environments. Work activities explicitly called out include vegetation management and vegetation planting (which can cover invasive species control, native species establishment, and restoring native or historically appropriate landscapes), park and trail maintenance, litter removal, and trail construction and maintenance. The opportunity is framed as environmental stewardship and operations support work that also functions as a training platform, meaning the recipient is expected to translate field tasks into learning outcomes and skill development for participants, not just complete maintenance outputs.
Eligibility is limited to non-Federal public entities and nonprofit organizations, including state governments, county governments, city or township governments, and 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding institutions of higher education). A key requirement is that the selected recipient must serve low-security inmates and/or individuals completing community service sentences within the local correctional systems tied to Skamania County, WA; Clark County, WA; Hood River, OR; and/or Multnomah County, OR. The recipient must also have experience performing land stewardship and restoration using small work crews led by experienced supervisors, with enough ecological and field expertise to accurately teach and reinforce natural resource concepts and safe, effective work practices to both crew members and leaders.
The legal authority cited for making this award is 33 USC 2339, Conservation and Recreation Management, which supports partnerships that advance conservation, recreation, and stewardship objectives on USACE lands. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates active involvement by the federal agency in coordinating or shaping the work, rather than a more hands-off pass-through grant. The funding opportunity is listed under a natural resources activity category (CFDA 12.010).
From a funding and timeline standpoint, the opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number W9127N2420008, created on 2024-04-26, with an original closing date of 2024-05-28. The posted award ceiling is $220,000. The notice indicates an expected award count but does not clearly state the number in the provided source text. Overall, this opportunity is designed for an organization that can reliably deliver conservation and maintenance outcomes on sensitive public lands while also running a supervised, training-oriented crew program that benefits participants and the surrounding communities near the Bonneville Lock and Dam.Apply for W9127N2420008
