Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Reclamation (Great Plains Region, Dakotas Area Office) posted a discretionary federal funding opportunity titled "Archaeological Investigations, Fort Clark Irrigation District" (Funding Opportunity Number R13SS60012). The agency planned to make a single award using a cooperative agreement, with an estimated total funding amount of up to $50,000 and an award ceiling of $50,000 (no minimum award floor listed). The CFDA program associated with the opportunity is 15.511, Cultural Resources Management, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement.
The project focus is cultural resources management on Reclamation-owned lands and easements associated with the Fort Clark Irrigation District. Specifically, the funded work is a Class III intensive pedestrian archaeological survey of selected areas (referenced as being shown on an attached canal map). A Class III survey typically means an on-the-ground, systematic walking survey designed to identify cultural materials and sites at the surface and to document them according to professional standards. The intent here is to locate, identify, and formally record prehistoric archaeological sites that may be present within the defined Reclamation properties and easements.
A key point in the scope is that the irrigation district itself and its historic engineering features had already been documented and evaluated prior to this opportunity. That earlier documentation is referenced as a report titled "National Register Historic Preservation (NRHP) Evaluation Services for Dakota Area Offices." In other words, the historic-era infrastructure elements were already addressed from an NRHP perspective, and this new effort is aimed more at identifying and recording prehistoric archaeological resources that could be affected by land management, maintenance activities, or future undertakings.
Reclamation indicated its intent to award the cooperative agreement to the University of North Dakota, Department of Anthropology, and eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. In addition to producing archaeological inventory results, the project is explicitly designed to function as an archaeological field school. That means students would receive hands-on training in fundamental field methods and professional practice, learning how to conduct systematic pedestrian survey, recognize and document cultural materials, record site locations and characteristics, and follow sound field procedures under supervision.
The announcement was posted on May 6, 2013, with an original and final closing date of May 20, 2013, and it was archived on June 19, 2013. The listed point of contact for access issues was Irene Hoiby, Grants Management Specialist (phone 406-247-7615).
