Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity, Funding Opportunity Number R10SS60006, is a Bureau of Reclamation (BOR), Great Plains Region notice titled "Notice of Intent to Award - Cultural Resource Surveys, Evaluations, and Excavations on Federal Lands in Nebraska and Kansas." It is focused on cultural resources management work on federal lands, specifically involving archaeological field activities such as surveys, evaluations, and excavations. A major task highlighted in the notice is the testing of several identified archaeological sites at Hugh Butler Lake, Nebraska: 25FT56/130, 25FT353, 25FT354, and 25FT355. In practical terms, the project is meant to document, assess, and investigate cultural resources in areas managed or affected by BOR responsibilities, supporting compliance with federal cultural resource protection and historic preservation requirements.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a more active partnership between the federal agency and the recipient than a standard grant. Under this type of agreement, BOR may expect to coordinate on scope, methods, deliverables, reporting, and potentially technical oversight during the work. The funding activity category is listed as Environment, with CFDA number 15.511 (Cultural Resources Management), which aligns with projects intended to identify, evaluate, and protect archaeological and historic properties on federal lands.
The notice anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1). Estimated total funding is $70,000, with an award ceiling of $70,000 and an award floor of $0. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The posting date and creation date are both June 30, 2010. The original and current closing date is July 14, 2010, and the opportunity was archived on July 15, 2010, indicating it is an older, time-limited solicitation that is no longer open.
Eligibility is broadly defined and includes state agencies, educational or scientific organizations, and institutions, corporations, and associations. The listing’s Eligible Applicants field also references "Others" with clarification in an additional eligibility text field, but the core intent is that qualified public or private entities with relevant cultural resources and archaeological expertise could be considered. Given the nature of the work (testing specific sites and conducting surveys/evaluations/excavations), likely competitive applicants would be organizations able to demonstrate professional archaeological qualifications, experience with federal cultural resource compliance, and capacity to deliver fieldwork and associated documentation on schedule.
For applicants needing access assistance with the full announcement, the contact provided is Lindsey Nafts, Grants Officer, reachable by phone at 406-247-7684.
