Mapping, Condition Assessment, and Interpretive Plan for Bear Lake Mounds Archeological District | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Mapping, Condition Assessment, and Interpretive Plan for Bear Lake Mounds Archeological District" (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00279) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action focused on research and planning work for a specific archeological area within the Flamingo District of the park. The core purpose of the project is to document the Bear Lake Mounds Archeological District, produce cartographic mapping of the site and its features, complete a detailed condition assessment that evaluates the current state and risks to the resources, and create an interpretive plan that outlines how the site should be explained to the public in a responsible, informed way. In practical terms, this combines technical field documentation and mapping with resource management analysis and public-facing interpretation planning, which is typical of NPS efforts to both protect sensitive cultural resources and improve education and visitor understanding.

This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement under the NPS "Cooperative Research and Training Programs" authority (CFDA 15.945, Resources of the National Park System). It is categorized under "Science and Technology and other Research and Development" and is expected to result in a single award. The estimated total funding amount is $84,992, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated. The listing does not present an award ceiling or floor (both shown as 0), which generally indicates the agency is not using the opportunity notice to compete a range of award sizes, but instead is providing a public notice about a specific planned award amount and recipient.

A key point is that this is not an open competition and not a request for applications. The NPS posted it as a notice of intent to make a single-source award to the University of South Florida under an existing cooperative agreement (P13AC00443). The University of South Florida is identified as a partner within the Piedmont South Atlantic Coast Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit (PSAC CESU), which is a network NPS commonly uses to carry out specialized research, technical services, and resource management assistance through established partnerships with universities and other entities. Because it is a single-source intent notice, the "closing date" language is essentially administrative rather than a deadline for applicants, and the archive date for the notice is September 3, 2014. The opportunity was posted and created on August 20, 2014.

Eligibility is therefore limited in practice to the identified partner arrangement rather than being broadly open to all applicants. The notice lists eligible applicants generally as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and "others" as clarified in the full text, but the document explicitly states NPS intends to fund the project without full and open competition, with the University of South Florida as the intended recipient. For additional details, the notice points to Grants.gov and provides an NPS contact for access issues: Alison Smith (AlisonSmith@nps.gov, 404-507-5754).
