Opportunity Summary:
This National Park Service funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number AJ5890090520) supported a single cooperative agreement for a focused research and documentation project using terrestrial and airborne LiDAR to create detailed three-dimensional records of the Elliott Sugar Mill Complex and its surrounding area. The project fell under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development category and was framed as a need for professional expertise to conduct field studies that would result in a LiDAR-based 3D documentation product set for the site and environs. In practical terms, the work implied planning and executing on-the-ground (terrestrial) laser scanning along with aerial LiDAR collection, then integrating those datasets into usable 3D deliverables that could support National Park Service resource management, documentation, interpretation, and potentially preservation planning for a historically significant complex.
The opportunity was issued as a discretionary award with the funding instrument specified as a cooperative agreement, meaning the National Park Service expected to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The announcement listed one expected award with a total estimated funding amount of $10,500, and both the award ceiling and floor were set at $10,500, indicating a fixed award amount rather than a range. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide additional non-federal funds to be eligible or competitive.
Eligibility was limited to private institutions of higher education, and the announcement referenced CESU (Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units), which typically signals that the project was intended to be carried out within a CESU partnership framework that connects federal agencies with universities and other partners for research, technical assistance, and education. The CFDA number was listed as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which is sometimes used for opportunities that do not map neatly to a specific assistance listing.
The timing was extremely short: it was posted on October 23, 2009 (created October 20, 2009) with an original and current closing date of October 28, 2009, and it was archived on November 27, 2009. That schedule suggests the solicitation was designed for a narrow pool of eligible academic partners able to respond quickly, likely because of project urgency, seasonal fieldwork considerations, or a pre-identified need to initiate documentation within a specific window.
For applicants or anyone seeking additional details at the time, the listed point of contact was Cheryl Richardson, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 404-507-5747 or by email at cherylrichardson@nps.gov, with a note to contact her if there were difficulties accessing the full electronic announcement.
