Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service opportunity titled "Conduct Sample Inventory of Impacts to Cultural Resources at Springs and Alcoves Grazing Allotments" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC01597) is a discretionary funding action that the agency posted on August 26, 2014. It is structured as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs and relates to resources of the National Park System. The project sits within the Natural Resources activity category, reflecting the practical overlap between land management, ecological conditions, and the protection of cultural resources in park landscapes where livestock grazing occurs.
This notice is not an open competition and is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award, issued under the authority described in Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). The award is to be made through a task agreement under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a partnership framework NPS uses to carry out applied research and technical assistance with specific cooperating institutions. In this case, the identified recipient is the Museum of Northern Arizona, and the listing clarifies that other entities should not expect to apply because the recipient has already been selected.
The purpose of the effort, as indicated by the title and brief description, is to conduct a sample inventory documenting impacts to cultural resources located at springs and alcoves within grazing allotments. In many National Park Service settings, springs and alcoves can be environmentally sensitive areas that also contain archeological sites, historic materials, rock art, or other culturally significant features. Grazing allotments and associated livestock use can introduce or accelerate impacts such as trampling, erosion, soil compaction, vegetation loss, trail formation, and incidental damage to archeological deposits or features. A "sample inventory" typically means the work will focus on a representative subset of locations rather than a full-coverage survey, producing standardized observations and baseline information that can inform management decisions, compliance needs, and future monitoring.
The opportunity anticipated one award with an estimated total funding amount of $40,028, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The notice shows an original and current closing date of August 30, 2014, which aligns with the administrative nature of the posting since the action was already intended as a noncompetitive, single-source award. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as zero, which is common in listings where the total funding is provided but formal ceiling/floor fields are not used in the same way as open solicitations.
For administrative questions or if the full announcement could not be accessed electronically, the listed point of contact was Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2303. The announcement was archived on September 29, 2014, indicating the posting is historical and the action was time-bound to that 2014 award process.
