About this opportunity
The Department of the Interior National Park Service is seeking a cooperative agreement for an archaeological inventory survey of the Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument (FLFO), specifically targeting approximately 1,500 acres east of County Road 1. The project requires a comprehensive archaeological survey that meets Colorado State Historic Preservation Office standards, including recording accurate site locations using GPS/GNSS technology, evaluating National Register of Historic Places eligibility, and producing detailed research reports. Eligible applicants include tribal governments, public and private higher education institutions, and county governments. Key objectives include documenting cultural resources, creating accurate GIS data layers, and submitting comprehensive documentation including field notes, photographs, and artifact information. The proposal will be evaluated based on meeting technical archaeological standards, research quality, and alignment with preservation goals, with applications due by January 20, 2026, and an anticipated award date in May 2026.
The maximum anticipated award for this cooperative agreement is $62,747, with the project designed to run until May 2027. The survey will be a "no-collection" archaeological documentation effort, meaning artifacts will be documented but not removed from the site. The place of performance is the Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, specifically the area east of County Road 1. This grant falls under the Cultural Resources Management program (CFDA 15.946) and does not require cost-sharing from the recipient. The project aims to support fuel reduction planning and historic preservation compliance by providing comprehensive archaeological documentation of the monument's cultural resources.
