Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service grant opportunity titled "National Park Service Condition Assessment and Treatment Planning for Prehistoric Earthen Plasters and Masonry at Bare Ladder Ruin, Natural Bridges NM" is a discretionary funding action intended to support specialized cultural resource preservation work at Bare Ladder Ruin within Natural Bridges National Monument. The core purpose is to fund a professional condition assessment and the development of treatment planning for prehistoric earthen plasters and associated masonry, which typically involves documenting current materials and deterioration, identifying causes of damage, and outlining appropriate conservation and stabilization approaches that are compatible with the site and its historic fabric.
This funding is being issued as a Cooperative Agreement under CFDA 15.945 (Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System). The total estimated funding amount is $57,864, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. Only one award is expected. While the opportunity category is listed as "Discretionary" and the activity category as "Natural Resources," the work described is closely tied to cultural resource conservation within the national park system, where earthen architectural materials and plasters often require careful assessment to plan treatments that minimize loss, avoid inappropriate materials, and respond to site-specific environmental conditions.
A key point is that this notice is not a competitive call for proposals. It is explicitly described as a notice of intent for a noncompetitive, single-source award, made in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). The award will be made through the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) as a task agreement. Eligibility is therefore limited in practice: the announcement states it is a single source award to the University of New Mexico, meaning other organizations are not being solicited to apply and no broader applicant pool is being considered under this posting.
The opportunity was posted on July 16, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 22, 2013, and it was archived on August 21, 2013. The listed award ceiling and floor are both $0, which is a common artifact in postings where a specific project total is provided but the system fields are not used to set minimums or maximums. For administrative questions or assistance obtaining the full announcement, the contact provided is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at (303) 969-2392.
