Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) posted a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Historic Structure Analysis of Bowman Hite House and Bank Barn, Cedar Creek and Belle Grove National Historical Parks" under Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR4240110002. The project centers on performing a historic structure analysis of two specific resources within Cedar Creek and Belle Grove National Historical Park: the Bowman Hite House and an associated bank barn. In practical terms, this kind of work typically involves documenting existing conditions, historical significance, construction methods, materials, alterations over time, and preservation needs so the park can make informed decisions about stabilization, rehabilitation, maintenance planning, and long-term stewardship.
The award is planned as a cooperative agreement, placed within an environmental activity category, and is structured as a task agreement under the National Park Service Chesapeake Watershed Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CW CESU). CESUs are partnership frameworks used by federal agencies to collaborate with universities and other partners on research, technical assistance, and education that support resource management. Here, the NPS indicates the work will be executed through that established CESU mechanism rather than through a typical open competition.
This posting is explicitly a notice of intent rather than a request for applications. The NPS states it is making a noncompetitive, single-source award in accordance with Department of the Interior policy cited as DOI 505 DM 2.12C. Eligibility is therefore not broadly open; the announcement specifies that the intended recipient is the University of Mary Washington. The listing notes that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
The opportunity anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $39,500. No formal award ceiling or floor is provided (both are listed as $0, which generally indicates the system fields were not used to set bounds even though an estimated total is stated). The program is associated with CFDA number 15.945, described as Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System.
Key dates in the posting show it was posted and created on May 27, 2011, with an original and current closing date of May 31, 2011, and an archive date of June 30, 2011. Because this was not an open call for applications, the short window is consistent with a public notice of an intended, pre-identified award rather than a competitive solicitation period.
For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Rita Oliver, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 301-432-7890 or by email at ritaoliver@nps.gov.
