Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service issued this opportunity as a Notice of Intent (NOI) to make a single, non-competitive award for a task agreement focused on protecting cultural resources in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and Rainbow Bridge National Monument, specifically along the shoreline of Lake Powell. The project responds to ongoing and escalating damage at well-known cultural sites such as Three Roof Ruin and Widows Ledge. Even though these areas have been closed to the public, they are still being harmed through structural damage, destabilization of rock walls, poor sanitation, and widespread graffiti. In short, the agency is describing current impacts as unacceptable and is seeking a practical, evidence-based strategy to reduce and prevent further degradation of shoreline cultural sites.
The funding vehicle is a Cooperative Agreement issued under the Gulf Coast Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Master Cooperative Agreement (H500002A271), and it is being conducted in accordance with Department of the Interior policy cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. It is categorized as a discretionary opportunity in the natural resources activity area, with an estimated total funding amount of $29,999. The announcement indicates there is expected to be one award, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. Although it appears in grant-opportunity systems, it is explicitly not a request for applications; it is a single-source action naming Stephen F. Austin State University as the intended recipient, meaning the public cannot compete for the award.
The core work of the project is research and synthesis aimed at developing an effective protection strategy. The National Park Service wants the partner to review and build on existing literature and to survey experienced field experts to identify which protection methods work best for the particular kinds of threats found along the Lake Powell shoreline. This implies pulling together what is already known (such as prior studies, management actions, and best practices in cultural site protection) and combining it with practical input from specialists who have direct experience managing similar sites, with the end goal of producing recommendations that the park can apply to reduce vandalism, physical deterioration, and visitor-related impacts.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number (NPS NOI GLCA R1445110044), posting and creation dates (Aug 31, 2011), and a short response window reflected by the original and current closing date (Sep 6, 2011), after which the announcement was archived (Oct 6, 2011). A CFDA number is not specified beyond a placeholder listing (00.000, Not Elsewhere Classified), reinforcing that the listing functions primarily as a public notice of an intended non-competitive award rather than a standard open solicitation. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact is Rose McClelland, Contracting Specialist, National Park Service, at 504-589-3882 or rosemcclelland@nps.gov.
