Opportunity Summary:
The CESU Artist In Residence Program notice (Funding Opportunity Number J9834100028) is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not an open solicitation and not a request for applications. The purpose of posting is simply to give public notice that NPS intends to make a single cooperative agreement award under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) framework to support continued administration and stewardship of the Artist in Residence (AIR) Program at Denali National Park and Preserve. The planned recipient is Alaska Geographic, with Charles Money listed as the principal investigator, and the NPS point of contact identified as Erica Cordeiro.
Funding is small and fixed: the total anticipated award is $5,000, with no cost share or matching requirement, and the announcement anticipates one award only. The instrument is a Cooperative Agreement/CESU, authorized under 16 U.S.C. Section 1g (with reference to 31 U.S.C. 6305 for cooperative agreements serving public purposes). The anticipated agreement term is two years, with an expected period of performance from September 1, 2010 through August 30, 2012. The posting dates indicate it was posted August 24, 2010, with an administrative closing date of August 31, 2010, and an archive date of September 30, 2010. The activity category is listed under Arts (Cultural Affairs), and the CFDA listing is shown as 00.000 "Not Elsewhere Classified."
The core project need is operational management of the Denali AIR Program and proper care of the park art collection associated with that program, especially where new conservation risks were identified. NPS explains that for the prior three years Denali National Park and Preserve had already partnered with Alaska Geographic to coordinate all aspects of the AIR program, including display logistics and collection care. In 2009, the park discovered that excessive light exposure had become a problem for some pieces, and visitors touching artwork was also a concern. Because these issues require consistent monitoring and informed mitigation steps, NPS wanted the existing Alaska Geographic AIR coordinator (already familiar with the collection and program) to add these duties rather than bring in a new provider who would have to start from scratch.
The deliverables focus on public display management, protection of artwork, artist coordination, and light monitoring with clear deadlines. Alaska Geographic, through the AIR coordinator, is expected to ensure artwork is displayed at three park locations (Denali Visitor Center, Eielson Visitor Center, and the Murie Science and Learning Center) during the summer display window identified as May 15, 2010 through September 20, 2010. The coordinator must also ensure the art is adequately protected from visitor contact while on display, including advising NPS on protective steps such as signage, monitoring light levels, and use of barriers when needed. Program coordination also includes proactive communication with the four artists participating in 2010 to support a safe and productive residency and a strong public presentation. On the conservation side, the coordinator must collect light data throughout the summer season on a specific Eielson fabric art piece and provide the complete dataset to NPS by September 23, 2010, then consult with experts and advise NPS on mitigation steps to prevent or reduce light damage by October 29, 2010.
Eligibility is explicitly restricted. This is a single-source CESU award where the only cooperator to be selected is Alaska Geographic, and the notice includes a justification for other than full and open competition. NPS cites multiple grounds: the work is described as both an unsolicited proposal and a continuation of ongoing activity, and Alaska Geographic is presented as uniquely qualified because the current coordinator is a fine artist experienced in proper display and protection of fine art, expertise the park notes is not currently available among the staff who liaise with the program. NPS also states that market research was not conducted because the park already had an established working relationship with Alaska Geographic administering the program, and the new responsibilities were viewed as a practical extension of existing work prompted by recently recognized conservation risks.
Finally, NPS notes an intention to reduce reliance on sole-source support over time by building internal capacity. The coordinator was already helping transfer knowledge to park staff to strengthen institutional expertise in program coordination and artwork protection, and NPS stated that, at the time of writing, it did not anticipate needing additional transfer of funds in FY11. Contact details in the notice direct questions to the NPS contracting point of contact (Erica Cordeiro), including a phone number and email.
