Opportunity Summary:
The BLM CO Front Range District Archaeological Investigations opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L15AS00200) is a discretionary Bureau of Land Management grant offered through a cooperative agreement to support cultural resource management work on public lands in Colorado's Front Range District. The project focuses on carrying out a range of professional archaeological tasks that help BLM meet its responsibilities for identifying, evaluating, and managing archaeological resources. The core scope includes archaeological inventory (field survey to locate and document sites), testing (limited subsurface work to evaluate site boundaries, integrity, and significance), excavation (more intensive data recovery when appropriate), and related investigative activities. The announcement also explicitly notes the use of remote sensing, indicating that non-invasive or minimally invasive methods (such as geophysical survey approaches) may be part of the work to detect or map buried cultural features before or alongside ground disturbance.
Funding is expected to result in one award, with an estimated total federal funding amount of $90,000. The funding range is listed with an award ceiling of $90,000 and an award floor of $15,000, meaning proposals could be considered at different budget levels within that range depending on the work proposed and BLM priorities. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so the recipient is expected to contribute some portion of project costs through cash, third-party contributions, or allowable in-kind support as defined in the full announcement and applicable federal assistance rules. Because the instrument is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, the BLM typically anticipates substantial involvement in the project during performance, such as coordinating study locations, reviewing work plans, participating in key decisions, and ensuring that deliverables meet agency standards and compliance needs.
The opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources, with the CFDA number 15.224 (Cultural Resource Management), which aligns with work that supports stewardship of historic and prehistoric resources on federal lands. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning a wide range of entities could apply (for example, universities, nonprofits, tribes, local governments, or private organizations), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may appear in the full announcement instructions. The posting and creation date were June 29, 2015, and the application closing date was August 26, 2015, with an archive date of September 30, 2015, indicating this was a time-limited competition for that fiscal period.
Applicants were directed to download the full announcement and application instructions via the "Application" tab in the original listing, suggesting that detailed requirements such as project narrative format, budget rules, reporting expectations, evaluation criteria, and specific BLM Front Range District priorities were provided in that attached document. For access issues or administrative questions, the listed point of contact was Yvonne Pier, Grants Management Officer, reachable at ypier@blm.gov.
