SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED 1) Describe the service to be provided in detail: Corpus Christi Parks and Recreation Department's adventure based outdoor recreation program is named ADVENTURE TREKKERS. The program goal is to provide urban at-risk youth with an opportunity to learn about the natural environment and resources available in Texas and the Coastal Bend. ADVENTURE TREKKERS will incorporate educational outdoor recreation elements with nature conservation concepts, team building, outdoor adventure, self discipline, leadership, and fitness oriented activities to young men and women living in the 78415 area, Tom Browne and Baker Middle Schools and Moody High School. The ADVENTURE TREKKERS program is designed to enhance leadership skills as well as team building skills. Most youth will be experiencing activities they have never experienced before, requiring them to learn new skills and think outside the realm of their normal thought process. Activities will require critical thinking, decision making, and group effort. Outdoor adventure activities place youth in situations where they must challenge their abilities, confidence and relationship with their peers. Staff will help create an environment that encourages each participant to trust themselves and their peers. Throughout each step of the program participants wilt be prompted to be aware of the value of having good leadership. ADVENTURE TREKKERS will concentrate on five outdoor activities (listed below). New activities will be introduced daily. Youth will participate in each new activity once throughout the 4 day long camp. Basic Water Safety Training and Sailing: Each participant will be required to complete a 4-hour Basic Water Safety Training course at the beginning of camp. Each class will be taught by a City of Corpus Christi Water Safety Instructor who is Red Cross certified and follows Red Cross procedures. The training manuals will be purchased through the American Red Cross. Training will introduce participants to the skills necessary to be familiar with the importance of basic water safety and rescue skills. The training will take place at City pools. -5- Surfing Lessons: Each participant will receive 6 hours of lessons and surfing opportunities. The camp is designed for all who wish to surf, and enjoy what the beach life has to offer. Surfers will be divided into groups based on age and skill level and have a 4:1 student/instructor ratio. Lessons are provided for surfers of all levels. Equipment is included in every lesson. Lessons are conducted in a safe location where there is no vehicular access on the beach during the summer months. Environmental Education: Participants will visit the Aransas Wildlife Refuge and The Texas State Aquarium. The Aransas Wildlife Refuge is home to endangered birds, unique flora, fauna, and ecosystems. Participants will take a walking tour and discover the untapped resource that lies within a short drive from our community. Emphasis will also be placed on the importance of conservation and preservation. Youth will then travel to the Texas State Aquarium Sea Lab for a special three hour class on protected wetlands. Participants will take a canoe trip into a wetland area where they will have the opportunity to study wildlife, flora and fauna and study the biological characteristics of healthy wetland. Fishin : Teens will embark on a Bay fishing trip for 5 hours out of Corpus Christi Bay. Special instruction on fishing techniques, bait, and tackle will be given to participants. Youth will then spend approximately 4 hours fishing for popular bay game fish. The department will partner with Captain Clark's Fishing Charters to provide equipment and instruction. Windsurfing & Kayaking: Youth will get special expert instruction on windsurfing and kayaking. In addition, each participant will have 2 hours of windsurfing free time and 2 hours of kayaking free time to try out their newly learned skills. Instruction as well as free time will be done in the safety of the protected shallows of the Laguna Madre. The department will partner with Worldwinds Windsurfing to provide instruction and equipment. Geocaching: Participants will learn the importance of teamwork, communication, effective decision making, and problem solving through a physically and emotionally challenging treasure hunting activity. This program element will focus on adventurous outdoor recreation while maintaining a positive learning experience. Geocaching is a fairly new concept to the public: For the traditional geocache, a geocacher will place a waterproof container, containing a log book and trinkets or some sort of treasures, and then note the cache's coordinates. These coordinates, along with other details of the location, are posted on a website (free). Other geocachers obtain the coordinates from the Internet or they can be preloaded on to a GPS to seek out the cache using their GPS handheld receivers. The finding geocachers record their exploits in the logbook and online. Geocachers are free to take objects from the cache in exchange for leaving something of similar or higher value, so there is treasure for -6- the next person to find. Typical cache treasures are not high in monetary value but may hold personal value to the finder. Aside from the logbook, common cache contents are unusual coins or, small toys, ornamental buttons, CDs, or books. Also common are objects that are moved from cache to cache, such as Travel Bugs, whose travels may be logged and followed online. Cachers who initially place a Travel Bug often assign specific goals for their trackable items. One such goal could be to pass it westward across the continent. Occasionally, higher value items are included in geocaches, normally reserved for the first to find, or "FTF", or in locations which are harder to reach. Geocache container sizes range from containers as small as the tip of your little finger ("nanos"), to film canisters (often called "microcaches"), too small to hold anything more than a tiny paper log, to five-gallon buckets or even larger containers. Variations of .geocaches include: Traditional: The basic cache type, a traditional cache must include a log book of some sort. It may or may not include trade or trackable items. A traditional cache is distinguished from other cache variations in that the geocache is found at the coordinates given and involves only one stage. Earthcache: A type of virtual-cache which is maintained by the Geolo iq cal Society of America. The cacher usually has to perform a task which teaches him/her an educational lesson about the earth science of the cache area. Multi-cache: This variation consists of multiple discoveries of one or more intermediate points containing the coordinates for the next stage; the final stage contains the log book and trade items. Mystery/puzzle: This cache requires one to discover information or solve a puzzle to find the cache. Some mystery caches provide a false set of coordinates with a puzzle that must be solved to determine the final cache location. In other cases, the given location is accurate, but the name of the location or other features is themselves a puzzle leading to the final cache. Alternatively, additional information is necessary to complete the find, such as a padlock combination to access the cache. Virtual: Caches of this nature are coordinates for a location that does not contain the traditional box, log book, or trade items. Instead, the location contains some other described object. Validation for finding a virtual cache generally requires you to email the cache hider with information such as a date or a name on a plaque, or to post a picture of yourself at the site with GPS receiver in hand. 2) Location where services will be provided: Corpus Christi Natatorium Collier Pool 3202 Cabaniss Road 3801 Harris Dr. Corpus Christi, TX 78415 Corpus Christi, TX 78411 Texas State Aquarium Sea Lab Worldwinds Windsurfing 2710 N Shoreline Blvd 14493 SPID Ste A -7- Corpus Christi, TX 78402 Corpus Christi, TX 78418 Aransas Wildlife Refuge Captain Clark's Fishing 1 Wildlife Circle 47 Peoples Street T Head Blvd Austwell, TX 77950 Corpus Christi, TX 78401 Surfing School Padre Island near mile marker 219 Operating on the Seawall near Whitecap Blvd. Between the Holiday Inn Sunspree Resort and The Island House Corpus Christi, TX All above locations play a very important role in the ADVENTURE TREKKERS program, as they are actual program activity sites. 2) Inclusive dates of Service: From June 14, 2009 to July 30, 2010 3) Days and Hours of provided services: ADVENTURE TREKKERS will operate Monday through Friday, June 14 -July 30, 2009.

Section 319 specifically requires disclosure of certain lobbying activities. A federal government-wide rule, "New Restrictions on Lobbying," published in the Federal Register, February 26, 1990, requires certification and disclosure in specific instances and defines terms: Covered Awards and Subawards -Contracts, grants, and cooperative agreements over the $100,000 threshold need (1) certifications, and (2) disclosures, if required. (See certification term number 2 concerning disclosure.) ~~ Lobbying - To lobby means to influence or attempt to influence an officer or employee of any agency (federal), a member of Congress, an officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a member of Congress in connection with any of the following covered federal actions: • the awarding of any federal contract, • the making of any federal grant, • the making of any federal loan, • the entering into of any cooperative agreement, and • the extension, continuation, renewal, amendment, or modification of any federal contract, grant, loan or cooperative agreement." Limited Use of Appropriated Funds Not Prohibited -The prohibition on using appropriated funds does not apply to activities by one's own employees with respect to: liaison activities with federal agencies and Congress not directly related to a covered federal action; providing any information specifically requested by a federal agency or Congress; • discussion and/or demonstration of products or services if not related to a specific solicitation for a covered action; or professional and technical services in preparing, submitting or negotiating any bid, proposal or application for a federal contract, grant loan or cooperative agreement or for meeting legal requirements conditional to receipt of any federal contract, grant, loan or cooperative agreement. (The prohibition also does not apply to such services provided by nonemployees for the same purposes.) Professional and Technical Services -Professional and technical services shall be advice and analysis directly applying any professional or technical expertise. Note that the professional and technical services exemption is specifically limited to the merits of the matter. Other Allowable Activities -The prohibition on use of federally appropriated funds does not apply to influencing activities not in connection with a specific covered federal action. These activities include those related to legislation and regulations for a program versus a specific covered federal action. Funds Other Than Federal Appropriations -There is no federal restriction on the use of nonfederal funds to lobby the federal government for contracts, grants, and cooperative agreements. Applicability of Other State and Federal Requirements -Neither the government-wide rule nor the law affect either (1) the applicability of cost principles in OMB circulars A-87 and A-122, or (2) riders to the Texas State Appropriations Acts which disallow use of state funds for lobbying.
