THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR APPLICATIONS. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service’s intention to award a task agreement under a previously competed or single source justified master cooperative agreement. Master Cooperative Agreement Number P15AC00031 was entered into by and between the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, (NPS), and The Student Conservation Association (SCA) to build the next generation of conservation leaders and inspire lifelong stewardship of our environment and communities by engaging young people in hands-on service to the land through service opportunities, outdoor skills, and leadership training. This project provides opportunities for one youth to gain valuable work skills as they learn about cultural resources and the management of public lands by spending time working on projects at Gateway National Recreation Area. The Public Health Intern will gain valuable work skills as they work with resource professionals to improve the quality of resources and enhance visitor experience and improve safety conditions. This project will provide an opportunity for one public health intern to gain valuable work skills as they work closely with the park’s Public Health Environmental Specialist in the planning and execution of projects throughout the park. The Work Plan includes the following: - Building inspections, assessments and plan reviews. - Asbestos and lead paint management programs. - Drinking and recreational water safety. - Food and concessions inspections. - Health and safety at recreation/sports facilities. - Provide public health outreach and education regarding fish consumption advisories to the public for fish caught within park boundaries.
