Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00549
The Repair and Replace Split Rail Fence opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00549) is a National Park Service project at Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts, focused on fixing a failing split rail fence system in several high-traffic areas of the park. The work centers on the fence lines around the Filene Center, Gill's Hill, and the East Lot, where the existing fencing was originally installed using poor-quality wood and has since developed widespread rot. Because of that deterioration, many sections are now broken, leaning, or falling over, creating an ongoing maintenance and visitor management problem. The fence is not decorative only; it serves practical park operations by marking parking boundaries, guiding visitor movement along paths, and defining garden areas, so restoring it supports both safety and site organization.
The scope is straightforward but labor-intensive. It includes demolishing and removing about 6,000 linear feet of existing split rail fence, along with approximately 660 locust line posts and 50 locust corner posts. Disposal of old fence materials is part of the job, and the demolition work is specifically noted as occurring in heavily used public areas, which typically means the work will need to be planned around visitor circulation and event activity. In addition to taking down the old fence, the project calls for clearing brush that has grown into or along the fence lines, which is necessary to re-establish the fence corridor and prevent immediate re-encroachment.
After demolition and clearing, the fence will be rebuilt in the same locations using the existing post holes. The replacement quantities mirror the original layout: roughly 6,000 linear feet of split rail fence supported by 660 locust line posts and 50 locust corner posts, with the rail material specified as 1,980 hemlock rails. Using locust for posts is consistent with durability needs because posts are in ground contact and must resist decay, while the hemlock rails provide the horizontal structure. Rebuilding in the same footprint helps maintain the existing circulation patterns and site design while avoiding unnecessary ground disturbance.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary award issued as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.931 by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service. The announcement is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award and not a request for applications, meaning the NPS is publicly documenting that it will fund this work under an already competed cooperative agreement with the Student Conservation Association (SCA). The anticipated award amount is capped at $106,896, with one expected award. The posting dates show it was created on August 19, 2019, with an original closing date listed as August 29, 2019, reflecting the notice period rather than an open competition. Eligible applicants are listed as nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), aligning with the SCA cooperative agreement framework referenced in the notice.Apply for P19AS00549
