Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) Documentation of Parallel Wall House and Saddlehorn Hamlet Pueblos, Cortez, CO" is a discretionary grant action intended to support historic documentation work for two specific ancestral pueblo sites in the Cortez, Colorado area: Parallel Wall House and Saddlehorn Hamlet Pueblos. The effort is framed under the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) program, which is widely used by the federal government to create long-term, archival-quality records of significant historic places. In practical terms, the project is about producing formal, preservation-grade documentation rather than construction, restoration, or public programming.
This opportunity is being carried out through a cooperative agreement, meaning it is structured as a partnership where the NPS anticipates substantial involvement in the work, coordination, or oversight rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant. The award is planned as a task agreement under the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a federal cooperative framework that allows agencies like the NPS to collaborate with partner institutions on research, technical assistance, and resource documentation projects. The funding activity category is listed as natural resources, which commonly includes cultural resources and heritage documentation within NPS programs, especially when the work supports stewardship of protected places and federally managed or federally significant resources.
A key point is that this posting is not an open competition. It is explicitly described as a notice of intent for a noncompetitive, single-source award under Department of the Interior policy (cited as DOI 505 DM 2.12C). The announcement states that it is not a request for applications and that the intended recipient is the University of Colorado at Denver. The eligible applicant field is therefore somewhat generic ("Others"), but the eligibility narrative clarifies that no general applicant pool is being solicited. In other words, outside organizations are not being invited to submit proposals because the agency has already identified the project partner and is proceeding under an approved noncompetitive justification.
The anticipated award profile is straightforward: one expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $34,993, and no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as zero, which typically signals that the specific award amount is controlled through the task agreement and internal budgeting rather than through a competitive range of awards. The opportunity was posted on July 2, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 6, 2010, and an archive date of August 5, 2010. The short posting window is consistent with a notice-of-intent style publication whose purpose is transparency and public notice rather than solicitation.
For those trying to understand what actions are actually supported, the title provides the most direct clue: HABS documentation. HABS documentation usually includes measured drawings, large-format photography, and written historical reports prepared to established standards so the materials can be archived and used for future research, preservation planning, and interpretation. The project focus on pueblo sites suggests documentation may involve careful recording of architectural features, site layout, construction characteristics, and existing conditions, all done in a way that creates an enduring record even if the resources change over time due to weathering, visitor impacts, or other threats.
Administrative details provided in the listing include the funding opportunity number (NPS NOIJ1264100040) and a CFDA number shown as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which is sometimes used when a program does not map neatly onto a single CFDA listing or when the posting is primarily administrative. The NPS is the issuing agency, and the contact listed for access issues is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, at 303-969-2392. The description also references an attached announcement for further information, indicating that additional specifics about the scope of work, deliverables, timeline, and reporting requirements were likely contained in a separate document not reproduced in the summary text.
