Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "CLI, Rimrock Drive Cultural Landscape Inventory" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOI 10 GR06) is a discretionary cooperative agreement focused on natural resources and cultural landscape documentation. Its core purpose is to fund the completion of a Cultural Landscape Inventory (CLI) for Rimrock Drive, a significant historic road corridor within Colorado National Monument. In addition to producing a needed inventory for the park, the project is intended to function as a training and professional development experience by giving students hands-on exposure to the NPS process for documenting, evaluating, and formally recording cultural landscapes using federal standards and established NPS guidelines.
The agreement emphasizes both deliverables and workforce development. On the deliverables side, the work centers on compiling and analyzing historical and existing conditions information and producing the formal CLI documentation for Rimrock Drive. A key technical component involves mapping the road corridor, supported by GIS capabilities, to ensure the inventory includes accurate spatial data and documentation consistent with NPS CLI requirements. On the training side, students involved in the project would gain practical experience with the methods used by NPS to identify landscape characteristics, assess significance and integrity, and assemble the documentation that supports long-term planning, preservation, and management decisions.
This notice is explicitly described as a Notice of Intent for a single-source task agreement award rather than a broadly competed grant. The intended recipient is Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa, under the Great Rivers Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network. The justification for the single-source approach is based on the principal investigator's specialized technical expertise in historic road preservation and prior experience completing cultural landscape studies and preservation master plans for NPS and other organizations. The notice also points to demonstrated familiarity with federal CLI standards and prior CLI work within the NPS Intermountain Region, along with Iowa State University's access to a GIS laboratory and technical support needed for corridor mapping. In other words, the opportunity is structured around tapping an existing, proven team with the precise qualifications and infrastructure required to complete the inventory efficiently and to NPS specifications.
Funding for the project is modest and tightly scoped. The estimated total funding is $25,000, with an award ceiling of $25,000 and no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0). The announcement anticipates a single award and does not require cost sharing or matching funds. The opportunity was posted on May 17, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 27, 2010, and an archive date of June 26, 2010, reflecting that it was a time-limited notice associated with a planned single-source cooperative agreement rather than an open, ongoing program.
Finally, the notice links the project to broader NPS performance objectives by stating that completion of the Rimrock Drive CLI will help the Intermountain Region meet its CLI performance goal for fiscal year 2012. For applicants or interested parties needing access assistance, the contact listed is Tonya Bradley, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 402-661-1656, with a help desk reference for technical issues accessing the full announcement electronically.
