Opportunity Summary:
The Notice of Intent titled "Sand Creek Massacre NHS/Kiowa County Agreement" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00593) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS). It falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category (CFDA 15.954) and was announced on September 1, 2016, with an original closing date of September 10, 2016. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an award ceiling listed as 2 (as stated in the source data), and eligibility broadly identified as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced outside the provided excerpt.
The central purpose of the agreement is twofold: to support the mission and ongoing development of the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site, and to contribute to economic development in Kiowa County, Colorado. The strategy for achieving both goals is the development of park support facilities located within Kiowa County, with a particular focus on work associated with the historic Murdock Building. In practical terms, the agreement sets up a partnership where the county carries out specific on-the-ground services and installation work, while NPS provides funding, designs, and technical oversight to ensure the work meets federal requirements.
Kiowa County's responsibilities are described in three main areas. First, the county will provide architectural services to review NPS design and construction drawings related to the "tenant finishes" for NPS space within the Murdock Building. Second, using labor and materials funded through the agreement, the county will install those tenant finishes, following what is mutually agreed upon by NPS and the county as the recipient. Third, the county will provide additional services as needed to support development of other park support facilities, consistent with the legislative authorities that govern what types of facilities and actions are allowed for the site.
NPS, in turn, commits to providing financial assistance in accordance with Article VI of the cooperative agreement, which is where the formal funding terms and conditions would be specified. NPS will also supply the design and construction drawings required for the tenant finishes in the historic Murdock Building and, as future needs arise, provide design and construction drawings for additional support facilities authorized by law. Beyond money and plans, NPS will provide subject-matter expertise to ensure that all work complies with applicable NPS legal requirements and standards, which typically include federal procurement and grant rules, preservation compliance, accessibility expectations, and other agency policies tied to construction and historic properties.
A key condition emphasized in the opportunity is historic preservation compliance. Both Kiowa County and NPS jointly agree that any improvements funded by NPS within the historic Murdock Building must meet the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. This requirement signals that the project is not simply a routine build-out; it must be approached in a way that protects the building's historic character, uses appropriate methods and materials, and aligns with nationally recognized preservation standards that guide rehabilitation, restoration, preservation, and reconstruction work on historic resources.
Overall, this notice describes a tightly scoped, collaborative project centered on designing, reviewing, and installing tenant finishes in a historic structure used to support the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site, while also laying groundwork for additional support facilities in Kiowa County. The county contributes local capacity and execution, and NPS supplies funding, technical direction, and federal design standards, with an explicit commitment that the work will meet rigorous historic preservation requirements.
