Opportunity Summary:
The Notice of Intent to Award for the Guernsey Safety of Dams Corrective Actions is a Bureau of Reclamation (Great Plains Region) funding opportunity focused on cultural resources management tied to mitigation work at Guernsey State Park and the Guernsey National Historic Landmark in Wyoming. The underlying reason for the award is that Reclamation is carrying out Safety of Dams (SOD) corrective actions at Guernsey Dam and Reservoir, and those actions have been determined to cause adverse effects to historic and cultural resources at Guernsey State Park. To address those effects, Reclamation, the Wyoming State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), and Wyoming State Parks, Historic Sites, and Trails (WSPHS) executed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) in November 2012 under the National Historic Preservation Act framework. This grant supports the mitigation commitments described in that MOA.
The opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency anticipates being substantially involved in the work rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant. It is also presented as a notice of intent to award, which typically signals a planned award to a specific partner tied to an existing agreement and project responsibilities. In this case, Reclamation and WSPHS have an established relationship through Memorandum of Understanding 2AG6001660 (dated May 28, 1992), under which WSPHS serves as Reclamation's managing partner for recreation facility development, operations, maintenance, replacement, and administration of recreation areas and lands at Reclamation reservoirs, including Guernsey Dam and Reservoir. The museum, interpretive programming, and landmark resources referenced in the announcement are managed by WSPHS on Reclamation's behalf under that long-standing MOU.
The funded activities are explicitly aimed at mitigating adverse impacts at Guernsey State Park and include three main deliverables. First, the development of exhibits at the Guernsey Museum, which would help preserve and interpret the park's history and cultural context for the public. Second, the continuation of park interpretive work at the Guernsey National Historic Landmark, supporting ongoing educational and interpretive programming tied to the landmark's historic value. Third, the preparation and completion of a long-term plan for conservation practices covering historic structures and museum exhibits at Guernsey State Park/National Historic Landmark, which is meant to guide sustained preservation and collections care beyond the immediate SOD construction window. Collectively, these elements reflect common historic preservation mitigation measures: improved interpretation, enhanced public understanding, and formalized long-term conservation planning.
From an administrative standpoint, the funding opportunity number is R13SS60020 under CFDA 15.511 (Cultural Resources Management). Reclamation anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $27,125; the ceiling is also listed as $27,125, while the floor is shown as $1. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated. The opportunity was posted on July 24, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 7, 2013, and an archive date of September 6, 2013. The activity category is labeled as "Other" with a clarification that it falls under cultural resources management.
Eligibility is described broadly, including state and local agencies, tribal governments, nonprofit and for-profit entities, educational and scientific organizations, and other institutions or individuals that can demonstrate the requisite professional requirements. Even though the eligibility language is expansive, the notice-of-intent format and the detailed reference to the Reclamation-WSPHS partnership and MOA-driven responsibilities indicate the project is closely tied to the designated managing partner for these specific resources and obligations.
