Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00391
Developing Skills and Methods for Landscape Scale Inventory and Evaluation of Cultural Resources (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00391) is a National Park Service cooperative agreement aimed at expanding and refining cultural resource inventory work at Valles Caldera National Preserve. The opportunity builds on an existing 2016-2017 Statement of Work (and an earlier Modification 01) that initially supported cultural resource field surveys and the development of a landscape-scale model across 1,940 acres in the South Mountain region of the Preserve. This 2017 modification extends that earlier effort by increasing the amount of land covered by field survey work and by incorporating the newly collected information into the larger analytical framework being created for the Preserve.
The central change in this modification is a substantial expansion of survey coverage: an additional 2,200 acres are added to the field survey scope. The newly included areas are described as the Northwest Rim portion of the Preserve, the Valle Grande, El Cajete and Redondo Meadows, and a small section of forest near the VC02 and VC04 roads. Rather than locking in exact survey polygons in advance, the announcement notes that the precise acreage and locations will be finalized in consultation with NPS staff, with practical constraints such as site access, weather, and fire conditions influencing where and when fieldwork can occur. In other words, the work is designed to stay flexible so the project can adapt to on-the-ground conditions while still meeting the broader inventory and modeling goals.
In addition to collecting more field data, the project explicitly requires that these expanded datasets be integrated into the landscape model under development. That implies the effort is not just a traditional site-by-site survey; it is also meant to strengthen methods for evaluating cultural resources at a broader, landscape scale by using the combined survey results to improve predictive or interpretive modeling across the Preserve. The modification therefore increases both the physical survey workload and the analytical workload, since the expanded coverage needs to be folded into the existing model and associated reporting.
The period of performance is also extended. The original project timeline and deliverables, which were planned for 2016 through 2019, are extended through 2020. The opportunity indicates that specific objectives, activities, staffing plans, schedules, deliverables, and cost estimates are detailed in an attached Statement of Work, with this notice serving mainly to summarize the scope changes and the time extension.
Administratively, this is a discretionary opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, under the Natural Resources funding activity category (CFDA 15.945). The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals substantial involvement or collaboration with the federal agency during project execution, consistent with the stated need for coordination with NPS staff on survey locations and conditions. Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and the announcement anticipates a single award with a maximum federal funding level (award ceiling) of $99,999. The opportunity was posted June 16, 2017, with an original closing date of June 26, 2017.Apply for P17AS00391
