Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "National Park Service Documentation and Implementation of Treatment Plans at Casa Grande Ruins and Montezuma Castle NM" is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement tied to work at two important NPS cultural sites in the Southwest: Casa Grande Ruins National Monument and Montezuma Castle National Monument. The focus, as stated in the title, is on documenting conditions and carrying out treatment plans, which generally means supporting preservation and resource management actions designed to protect and stabilize park resources. The funding activity category is listed under Natural Resources, and the opportunity sits within the broader purposes of the National Park System resources and related research and training programs (CFDA 15.945).
This notice is not a typical competitive grant solicitation. It is explicitly described as a notice of intent for a noncompetitive award issued under Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). In practice, that means the NPS had already identified a specific partner and intended to make a single-source award rather than evaluate multiple applicants. The announcement states that the award will be made through a task agreement under the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a cooperative network NPS uses to partner with universities and other organizations for research, technical assistance, and applied projects that support park management needs.
Only one award was expected, and the sole eligible recipient identified in the announcement is the University of New Mexico. The "Eligible Applicants" field points to "Others (see text...)" but the eligibility clarification makes clear that this is a single-source action rather than an open call. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement noted, meaning the recipient would not be expected to provide mandatory non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted and created on June 3, 2015, with a closing date of June 12, 2015, and it was later archived on July 12, 2015. The estimated total funding amount is $155,000. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which commonly appears in notices that function more as public documentation of an intended award than as a competitive funding announcement with a defined range for applicants to propose against.
Anyone needing help obtaining the full announcement was directed to contact Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2303, indicating the NPS point of contact for access or administrative questions related to the notice. Overall, the key takeaway is that this was a CESU-based, noncompetitive cooperative agreement intended to support documentation and implementation work connected to treatment plans at Casa Grande Ruins and Montezuma Castle, with the University of New Mexico named as the recipient and approximately $155,000 anticipated for the project.
