Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a planned, single-award federal assistance action by the Bureau of Reclamation (Great Plains Region, Dakotas Area Office) to support the preparation and publication of a formal report documenting archaeological and geomorphological investigations at the Ray Long Site (site number 39FA65) located at Angostura Reservoir in South Dakota. The work falls under cultural resource management, meaning the central purpose is to ensure that important cultural and scientific information from past fieldwork is compiled, analyzed as needed, and made available in a permanent, citable publication rather than remaining only in internal files or incomplete project records.
The Bureau of Reclamation indicates its intent to make the award specifically through a grant/cooperative agreement with the Archeology Laboratory of Augustana College in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The use of a cooperative agreement generally signals that Reclamation expects to have an ongoing role in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as coordinating on scope, review milestones, deliverables, or publication requirements. The objective is straightforward: produce a publishable report that integrates both archaeological findings (for example, cultural materials, features, site interpretation, and chronology) and geomorphological context (such as landform history, sediment processes, and how the landscape setting influenced site formation and preservation). In practice, this kind of report typically serves several audiences at once, including agency cultural resource staff, tribes and other stakeholders, academic researchers, and resource managers responsible for long-term stewardship of reservoir lands.
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary funding action under Funding Opportunity Number 09SF600052, with an activity category identified as “Other,†clarified as Cultural Resource Management. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance listing is 15.511 (Cultural Resources Management). Reclamation anticipates one award in total, with an estimated total funding amount of $180,000. The award ceiling is also $180,000, and there is no stated minimum (award floor of $0). No cost sharing or matching funds are required, which means the recipient is not expected to contribute a defined percentage of non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is limited to private institutions of higher education, which aligns with the named intended recipient (Augustana College). The posting date and creation date are both February 19, 2009. The original and current closing date are March 6, 2009, and the archive date is March 7, 2009, indicating the window for any related submissions or formal closing actions was short and that the notice functioned primarily as an announcement of intent rather than an open competition for multiple applicants.
For questions or assistance accessing the full announcement, the notice provides a point of contact: Kimball Banks, Financial Assistance Officer, reachable by phone at 406-247-7710.
