Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "Cultural Landscape Analysis, Bowman Hite Farm" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIGRSMJ4240100002) was a discretionary grant posted on September 28, 2010 and closed on September 30, 2010, with the archive date listed as October 1, 2010. The award was structured as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources activity category, even though the core work focuses on cultural landscape documentation. The opportunity anticipated making a single award, with an exact funding amount of $69,925 (the award floor, ceiling, and total estimated funding were all the same), and it did not require any cost sharing or matching funds from the recipient.
The purpose of the project was to produce foundational cultural landscape documentation for the Bowman Hite Farm, specifically targeting the mid-19th-century historic landscape and the elements that define its character. In practical terms, the work was intended to include an inventory of landscape resources, analysis of existing conditions and historical development, and an evaluation of the landscape features that contribute to the propertys historic identity. This kind of cultural landscape analysis typically supports long-term preservation, planning, interpretation, and management decisions by establishing what is historically significant, what remains intact, and what features or spatial relationships are most important to protect or potentially restore.
All work under the project was to be conducted at Cedar Creek and Belle Grove National Historical Park, placing the Bowman Hite Farm landscape within a broader park setting associated with historic resources and cultural heritage. By documenting and assessing "character defining features" of the farm landscape, the project aimed to help the park make informed decisions about stewardship priorities, treatment approaches, and how the landscape is presented to the public in relation to its mid-19th-century period of significance.
Eligibility for this opportunity was not broadly competitive. The announcement was explicitly a Notice of Intent to award a task agreement to Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) under an existing Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) cooperative agreement identified as #H5000095041. In other words, the NPS signaled that it planned to make this award to a specific partner institution through an established cooperative framework rather than soliciting open proposals from the general public. The eligible applicant category was therefore listed in a limited way ("Others" with additional eligibility details), reflecting that the intended recipient was predefined through the CESU arrangement.
For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Judith Couch, Financial Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 865-436-1224.
