Opportunity Summary:
The Pueblo of Zuni NGWSP Participation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R15SS00004) was a discretionary grant posted by the Bureau of Reclamation under CFDA 15.511, Cultural Resources Management, with the funding activity category listed as Environment. The request came from the Zuni Cultural Resource Enterprise (ZCRE) acting on behalf of the Pueblo of Zuni, and it focused on securing financial support so the Pueblo could participate fully and effectively in the programmatic agreement process tied to the Navajo Gallup Water Supply Project (NGWSP). In practical terms, the grant was meant to ensure the Pueblo of Zuni had the capacity, staffing, and technical resources needed to represent its interests in the cultural resources compliance framework that guides how major federal infrastructure projects identify, evaluate, and protect cultural and historic properties.
The core purpose of the funding was participation in the NGWSP programmatic agreement program, which generally refers to the structured consultation and compliance activities conducted under historic preservation and cultural resources requirements (often involving coordination among federal agencies, tribes, and other stakeholders). ZCRE indicated that the scope of work and budget included in the request reflected its estimate of what it would take to provide effective representation for the Pueblo of Zuni throughout that process. While the announcement text does not list line-item tasks, the intent is clear: support for tribal cultural resource engagement that can include consultation preparation, review of project actions and documents, coordination meetings, cultural resources expertise, and other activities necessary to track the project and protect tribal cultural concerns as the water supply project moves forward.
Funding was limited and targeted. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $84,953. The award ceiling was also $84,953, with an award floor of $1, meaning the program allowed for smaller awards but was structured around a specific, fully funded request amount for this effort. No cost sharing or matching requirement was listed, so applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds to be eligible.
Eligibility was broadly described and included a wide range of potential applicant types, such as state and local agencies, federally recognized tribal governments, Native American organizations, nonprofit and for-profit entities, educational or scientific organizations, and other institutions or individuals that meet professional requirements. Even with broad eligibility language, the narrative makes it evident the funding need was tied specifically to ZCRE and the Pueblo of Zuni’s role in the NGWSP programmatic agreement process.
The timeline for the opportunity was short and indicates it was designed for a timely award. The notice was posted on January 26, 2015, with an original and current closing date of February 9, 2015, and it was archived the following day on February 10, 2015. For applicant assistance or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Timothy Wagoner, Grants Officer at the Bureau of Reclamation, reachable by phone at 801-524-3704.
