Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (Department of the Interior) issued this Notice of Intent for a discretionary cooperative agreement focused on preserving adobe ruins at Fort Bowie. The project is titled "Stabilize Cavalry Barracks and First Fort Ruins (PMIS 199345) / Stabilize Four Ruins at the Fort (PMIS 188829)" and was posted under funding opportunity number P16AS00288 (CFDA 15.945). At its core, the effort is both a preservation project and a training program: it is designed to protect historic adobe walls while teaching students and other participants practical, field-based historic preservation skills.
The main work involves removing and replacing lime plaster "shelter coats" that currently protect the exposed adobe walls. These shelter coats act as a sacrificial protective layer that helps shield fragile adobe from weathering and erosion. Over the course of the project, the park expects to remove roughly 100 existing shelter coats and install new ones. In scale, that translates to about 1,000 linear feet of standing adobe wall, with wall heights ranging from roughly 1 foot up to 12 feet, totaling an estimated 12,000 square feet of adobe wall surface. As crews remove old plaster, underlying wall deterioration may be uncovered, so the scope also includes making adobe repairs as needed once the condition of the substrate is revealed. In addition, the project includes trial applications of alternative surface treatments, suggesting the park is also evaluating whether different protective finishes may perform better or be more appropriate for long-term preservation.
A major purpose of the opportunity is workforce development and public benefit through education. Participants will receive hands-on instruction in core adobe and earthen conservation tasks, including selecting appropriate soils, mixing earthen mortar, repairing damaged adobe walls, and mixing and applying lime plaster. This structure indicates the park is not only seeking the completion of physical stabilization work, but also aiming to build capacity by training people in techniques that are directly applicable to historic preservation planning and implementation.
The project also has a documentation and outreach component. Information generated during the work will be uploaded to the National Park Service Integration of Resource Management Applications (IRMA) datastore and shared through the park website. By publishing methods, findings, and outcomes, the project is meant to increase public awareness and support for historic preservation activities in the region, while also creating a record that can inform future maintenance and similar adobe stabilization projects. Ultimately, the NPS expects the work to improve both the condition and the appearance of the adobe resources at Fort Bowie, which should strengthen on-site interpretation and enhance visitor understanding and appreciation of the historic ruins.
Administratively, this was structured as a cooperative agreement (rather than a standard grant), with one anticipated award and an award ceiling of $138,783. The opportunity was created on June 24, 2016, with an original closing date of July 3, 2016. Eligibility, as stated in the source data, included certain nonprofit organizations that do not have IRS 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) and other applicants as clarified in the opportunity’s additional eligibility information.
