Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Automation and Management of Cultural Resources Information" (Funding Opportunity Number R11SS40043) is a discretionary Bureau of Reclamation initiative in the Environment funding activity area. It was issued by the Bureau of Reclamation, Upper Colorado Region, and it is explicitly framed as a notice of intent to make a single award to the State of Wyoming through a cooperative agreement with the Wyoming State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). In practical terms, this means the agency had already identified its intended partner and was announcing its plan to formalize an agreement rather than running a fully open competitive process.
The purpose of the cooperative agreement is to support the management, organization, and controlled sharing of cultural resources information tied to Reclamation-managed lands. The work centers on data describing historic properties, including their locations and descriptive details, and focuses on making that information accessible to Reclamation offices as well as other Federal and State agencies. Access is also intended for authorized cultural resource contractors and permittees, which suggests the system or process being supported must balance usability with appropriate restrictions, since sensitive location data for archaeological sites and other historic properties often requires careful handling to prevent looting, vandalism, or inadvertent harm. Overall, the project aims to improve how cultural resource information is stored, maintained, and made available for compliance, planning, and stewardship activities on Reclamation lands.
The award structure indicates an expected number of awards of one, with an estimated total funding amount of $27,500 and an award ceiling of $27,500. The listed award floor is $1,000, though the intent language and single-award expectation make it clear the contemplated agreement is for the full project amount. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The associated CFDA number is 15.511, Cultural Resources Management, which aligns with the project focus on historic properties data and cultural resources stewardship.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on August 23, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 6, 2011, and an archive date of September 7, 2011. These dates indicate a short window typical of notices of intent where the principal purpose is public transparency and administrative completion rather than soliciting a wide range of applicants.
Although the announcement lists a broad set of eligible applicant types (including state governments, local governments, tribes, nonprofits, higher education institutions, and for-profit entities), the narrative description clarifies that Reclamation intended to award specifically to the State of Wyoming via the Wyoming SHPO. That distinction matters because the eligibility list reflects standard federal template language, while the project description reflects the real planned recipient and partnership arrangement for this particular action.
For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact is Timothy Wagoner, Grants Management Specialist at the Bureau of Reclamation, reachable by phone at 801-524-3704.
