Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Automation And Management Of Cultural Resource Information Between The Bureau Of Reclamation, Upper Colorado Region" is a cooperative agreement issued by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (BOR), Upper Colorado Region, focused on improving how cultural resource information is shared, organized, and maintained. At its core, the project supports modernized information management for archaeological, historical, and related cultural resource records connected to Reclamation activities. The agreement is grounded in federal historic preservation requirements and is structured around a partnership approach rather than a simple vendor style contract, which is typical of cooperative agreements where ongoing coordination with the federal agency is expected.
The purpose is tied directly to the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966, as amended through 2000. Two NHPA provisions are highlighted as the main legal drivers. First, Section 112(a)(2) requires federal agencies to ensure that cultural resource records and data, including the outputs of historical research and archaeological surveys and excavations, are permanently maintained in appropriate databases and made available to potential users. Second, Section 101(b) outlines the responsibilities of State Historic Preservation Officers (SHPOs) to administer statewide historic preservation programs in coordination with federal agencies, including conducting comprehensive statewide surveys of historic properties and maintaining inventories. In practical terms, BOR needs reliable long term data stewardship and accessible records management, and the State of Colorado, through its Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation, is positioned as a central repository and manager for statewide cultural resource inventory information.
The announcement emphasizes that Colorado's Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation is uniquely qualified to perform the work because it already has experience establishing and maintaining Colorado's statewide survey and inventory of historic properties. That existing infrastructure and expertise is important because the work is not just about collecting new information, but about properly managing, standardizing, retaining, and sharing cultural resource data over time. The agreement is therefore designed to facilitate information sharing and data management between Reclamation and the State, aligning federal obligations with the State's established role and systems for inventorying historic properties.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity under the Natural Resources activity category, with CFDA number 15.511 (Cultural Resources Management). BOR expected to make a single award, and the funding level is fixed: the total estimated funding is $50,000, with both the award ceiling and award floor set at $50,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds to receive the award. The opportunity was posted June 19, 2012, with an original and final closing date of July 2, 2012, and it was archived July 3, 2012.
Eligibility is described broadly, covering state and local agencies, federally recognized tribal governments, public and private nonprofit organizations, educational and scientific organizations, small businesses, for profit organizations, and other entities or individuals that can demonstrate the necessary professional qualifications. Even though eligibility language is expansive, the narrative context of the announcement makes clear that the agreement is built around the specific capacity and statutory role of the State of Colorado's historic preservation office, which is presented as the logical and particularly qualified partner for the intended information management and data sharing tasks.
For assistance with the announcement, the listed contact is Timothy Wagoner, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 801-524-3704 through the Bureau of Reclamation.
