Grand Canyon and Kaibab Forest wildfire recovery would speed up with new emergency contracting rules.
This bill would speed up recovery efforts in the Grand Canyon National Park and Kaibab National Forest after recent wildfires. It would let federal agencies use faster contracting methods and prioritize local businesses and Native American Tribes for rebuilding work. This means damaged areas could be restored more quickly.
Today, the National Park Service and Forest Service follow standard federal contracting rules for recovery efforts. If this bill passes, these agencies would be able to use faster emergency contracting methods, including higher spending limits for small purchases, to speed up rebuilding and restoration in the Grand Canyon National Park and Kaibab National Forest for up to five years.
