Opportunity Summary:
The Las Vegas Wash Archaeological Investigations grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R10SF30014) is a continuation funding action issued by the Bureau of Reclamation, Lower Colorado Region, under CFDA 15.540 (Lake Mead/Las Vegas Wash Program). It is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, meaning Reclamation anticipates substantial federal involvement in carrying out the work rather than simply issuing a standalone grant with minimal agency participation. The activity category is listed as Environment, reflecting that the work supports environmental and land management efforts in the Las Vegas Wash area, particularly where construction or restoration actions intersect with cultural and historic resources.
The project is focused on cultural resource compliance and management tied to planned and future work in the Las Vegas Wash corridor. Key tasks include the reassembly of the "milk house" (a historic structure or feature that has been disassembled or otherwise requires reconstruction), archaeological testing as needed, and broader cultural resource services to meet compliance obligations at the future Archery Weir and other culturally significant locations. In practical terms, this typically involves field investigations, documentation, evaluation of cultural materials or sites, and preparation of the kinds of records and technical products needed to satisfy federal preservation requirements when federal actions may affect historic properties.
Another major emphasis is implementing an existing Cultural Resources Programmatic Agreement, which is the formal framework that outlines how Reclamation and its partners will handle identification, evaluation, consultation, mitigation, and documentation of cultural resources across a program or set of undertakings. The opportunity also funds administration of the Cultural Resources Coordination Committee, indicating an ongoing coordination and consultation structure among agencies, stakeholders, and potentially tribal, local, or other partners to guide decisions and ensure consistent treatment of cultural resources.
A further funded element is contracting with a professional archaeological firm to develop a Cultural Resources Management Plan. That plan would generally establish procedures for long-term stewardship, monitoring, treatment measures, consultation protocols, data management, and how cultural resource issues will be integrated into construction scheduling and project design. The intent is to move beyond individual compliance actions and create a coherent management approach for the broader project area.
Financially, the award is set up as a single expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $245,842, and both the floor and ceiling listed at the same amount, which signals a fixed intended funding level for this continuation action. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The posting and closing timeline shows it was posted September 2, 2010, with a closing date of September 16, 2010, and archived September 17, 2010.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with additional clarification referenced, but the most important point is that the notice explicitly states it is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as public notice of Reclamation's intent to fund these activities without full and open competition, suggesting the agency planned to make an award to a specific partner entity based on continuity, unique qualifications, or other justification permitted under applicable federal assistance rules.
