Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) issued a noncompetitive Notice of Intent to Award for a cooperative agreement focused on the reconstruction of a historic barrack at the Granada (Amache) Relocation Center National Historic Landmark in Colorado. The project is tied to long-running preservation and interpretation efforts led by CPI in partnership with the Town of Granada and several community and legacy organizations, including the Friends of Amache, the Amache Historical Society, and the Amache Preservation Society. Amache was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2006 because of its national significance as one of ten World War II-era relocation centers where Japanese Americans were forcibly incarcerated between 1942 and 1945. Because most original buildings and structures were sold, moved, or destroyed after the site closed in 1945, the landscape retains relatively few above-ground historic features today, with the most intact resources being the cemetery, road traces, and building foundations. That lack of surviving structures creates a major challenge for helping visitors understand daily life and the lived experience of incarceration at the site.
The grant opportunity supports a very specific need that emerged during the barrack reconstruction effort. CPI had already completed major interpretive reconstruction work at Amache, including rebuilding a guard tower and a water tower in alignment with goals laid out in the site’s 2007 conceptual development and interpretive planning documents. Building on that progress, CPI initiated a project to reconstruct a residential barrack as a highly visible and tangible way to interpret Japanese American residential life at Amache. During planning, however, severe local weather conditions and high winds raised concerns. A structural engineer recommended additional stabilization measures to reduce wind-load risk, and those added engineering requirements created unexpected costs and introduced complications that required revisions to the existing structural plans. In response, CPI requested financial and technical assistance from the NPS Heritage Partnerships Program (which includes support connected to the National Historic Landmarks Program) to update the design so the barrack can be reconstructed safely and to the standards expected for a project at a National Historic Landmark.
In practical terms, the purpose of the cooperative agreement is to fund and support the engineering and planning work needed to modify the barrack’s structural plans to address wind-load vulnerabilities, and then to complete reconstruction consistent with plans reviewed and approved by NPS. The opportunity was administered through the NPS Intermountain Region Heritage Partnerships Program, which is described as providing both technical and financial assistance to partner organizations to encourage preservation of National Historic Landmarks. The listing identifies this as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement instrument, with an expected single award and an estimated total funding amount of $10,000. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated.
Key administrative details include the Grants.gov funding opportunity number P15AS00380 and CFDA number 15.954 (National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education). The notice was posted on September 2, 2015, with a closing date of September 12, 2015, and archived on September 14, 2015. Eligibility is framed as a noncompetitive Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not a typical open competition but rather a documented intent to make an award to a specific partner consistent with program authority and project needs. The public point of contact listed for access issues was Todd Wilson at ToddWilson@nps.gov, and the announcement referenced Grants.gov for additional information.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is this grant opportunity about?
This opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) noncompetitive Notice of Intent to Award for a cooperative agreement supporting the reconstruction of a historic residential barrack at the Granada (Amache) Relocation Center National Historic Landmark in Colorado. The funding is tied to preservation and interpretation work at Amache, with a specific focus on engineering and planning updates needed to address wind-load vulnerabilities and safely complete the reconstruction.
Which site and historic resource does the project focus on?
The project focuses on the Granada (Amache) Relocation Center National Historic Landmark (NHL) in Colorado and specifically targets reconstruction of a residential barrack used during the World War II incarceration period.
Why is Amache historically significant?
Amache was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2006 due to its national significance as one of ten World War II-era relocation centers where Japanese Americans were forcibly incarcerated between 1942 and 1945.
Why is reconstructing a barrack important at Amache?
Because most original buildings and structures were sold, moved, or destroyed after the site closed in 1945, relatively few above-ground historic features remain. This lack of surviving structures makes it difficult for visitors to understand daily life and the lived experience of incarceration at the site. A reconstructed barrack is intended to provide a highly visible, tangible way to interpret Japanese American residential life at Amache.
What historic features still remain at the site today?
The information provided indicates that the most intact resources at Amache include the cemetery, road traces, and building foundations, with relatively few above-ground historic features remaining.
What prompted this specific funding need during the barrack reconstruction?
During planning for the barrack reconstruction, severe local weather conditions and high winds raised concerns about wind-load risks. A structural engineer recommended additional stabilization measures, which created unexpected costs and complications and required revisions to the existing structural plans.
What will the cooperative agreement funding support in practical terms?
The cooperative agreement is intended to fund and support engineering and planning work to modify the barrack's structural plans to address wind-load vulnerabilities, and then to complete reconstruction consistent with plans reviewed and approved by NPS.
What kind of funding instrument is being used?
