Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Assess, Protect and Stabilize Eroding Archeological Sites through Soft Stabilization Techniques - Canaveral National Seashore," is a National Park Service (NPS) funding action intended to support work at Canaveral National Seashore in Florida. The project focuses on five archeological sites that are actively being damaged by coastal erosion, with the primary causes identified as storms, high water events, and boat wakes. The overall aim is to document current site conditions, evaluate how stable or vulnerable each site is, and then outline practical ways to protect and stabilize these areas using approaches that are both low-cost and low-impact.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement and will be issued as a task agreement under the National Park Service Gulf Coast Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). Importantly, the posting is described as a Notice of Intent and specifies that it will be a non-competitive award under DOI authority (DOI 505 DM 2.12C). In other words, this is not a standard open competition where multiple applicants submit proposals for review; it signals NPS intent to make a direct award through the CESU framework. The eligible applicant category listed is public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, which aligns with how CESU projects are often carried out through university partners with relevant technical and research capacity.
From a technical perspective, the scope centers on assessment first and solution-definition second. The funded partner would be expected to examine existing site conditions, likely including shoreline position, erosion features, site exposure, and the integrity of archeological deposits. After that assessment, the project is meant to identify preferred alternatives for protecting and stabilizing the sites using "soft stabilization techniques." This phrasing generally points toward nature-based or minimally intrusive measures rather than heavy engineering, with an emphasis on methods that reduce further disturbance to sensitive cultural resources while still slowing erosion or limiting direct impacts from waves and wakes.
A key requirement embedded in the project purpose is consultation and coordination with stakeholders who have cultural and regulatory roles. The opportunity explicitly calls for consultation with Native American Tribes and the Florida State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). That means the work is not only about physical protection options, but also about ensuring that proposed actions are culturally appropriate and consistent with state and federal historic preservation expectations. The end product is framed as defining preferred alternatives, suggesting deliverables such as recommendations, prioritization of options, and documentation that can support NPS decision-making and potential follow-on implementation work.
Financially, the estimated total funding for this action is $48,000, with one expected award and no cost sharing or matching requirement. The listing shows no award floor or ceiling, which typically means the agency is not using those fields to constrain amounts in the announcement, but the total estimated funding provides the practical scale of the project. The opportunity was posted May 12, 2011, with an original and current closing date of May 17, 2011, and an archive date of June 16, 2011, indicating it was a short-window notice tied to the non-competitive intent rather than a long open solicitation.
Administratively, the funding opportunity number is NPS NOI CANA R5180110023, and it is categorized as discretionary funding with an activity category of environment (with CFDA listed as 00.000, not elsewhere classified). For access issues related to the full announcement, the contact provided is Rose McClelland, Contracting Specialist, at 504-589-3882 or rosemcclelland@nps.gov.
