Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a Notice of Intent to Award from the Bureau of Reclamation, Great Plains Region, for work focused on cultural resources management at Lovewell Reservoir in Jewell County, Kansas. The specific project is a National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) evaluation of an identified cultural resource site recorded as 14JW17. In practical terms, the effort is meant to determine whether this site meets the criteria for listing on the NRHP, which is the federal government s official list recognizing historic and archeological properties worthy of preservation. The opportunity sits in the environment activity area but is clearly centered on cultural and historic resource compliance and evaluation.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant. That generally means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project, such as participating in planning, reviewing deliverables, coordinating access to federal lands or project areas, and ensuring the work meets applicable federal standards. The catalog reference is CFDA 15.511, Cultural Resources Management, which aligns with projects that support identification, evaluation, and stewardship of cultural resources under federal jurisdiction or influence.
Funding is fixed for this notice: the estimated total funding is 26,686 dollars, and both the award ceiling and floor are also 26,686 dollars. That indicates the agency anticipated making exactly one award at that exact amount, rather than offering a range of possible budgets. The listing also states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants would not be required to provide non federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Only one award was expected. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to any type of entity (for example, universities, nonprofits, private firms, state or local governments, or tribal entities), subject to any additional limitations that may have been included in the full announcement text. Even with broad eligibility, the narrow scope and single fixed award typically suggest the agency may have had a specific partner or specialized capacity in mind, which is consistent with notices of intent to award.
The posting and timeline reflect a short application window. The opportunity was posted on August 11, 2009, created the same day, and originally closed on August 21, 2009, with the current closing date also listed as August 21, 2009. The archive date is August 22, 2009, meaning the announcement was effectively a brief, time limited solicitation that moved quickly into an archived status.
As described, the project deliverable would likely include an NRHP evaluation report for site 14JW17. While the notice does not spell out methods, an NRHP evaluation typically involves background research, field investigation as appropriate, assessment of integrity and significance under NRHP criteria, documentation of site conditions and boundaries, and preparation of recommendations about eligibility. Because the location is at Lovewell Reservoir, the work may be tied to Bureau of Reclamation land and water management responsibilities and associated cultural resources compliance needs.
For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Carla Pickering, Grant Specialist, reachable by phone at 801 524 3716. The agency identified on the notice is the Bureau of Reclamation, Great Plains Region, which is the issuing office responsible for administering the cooperative agreement for this cultural resources management activity.
