Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00727
The Notice of Intent: Sand Creek Massacre NHS/Kiowa County Agreement (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00727) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary cooperative agreement tied to an existing master cooperative agreement (P16AC01706) between the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and Kiowa County, Colorado. The overall purpose is to support the mission and continued development of the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site while also helping strengthen the local economy in Kiowa County by building out park-related support facilities within the county. In practical terms, the grant is aimed at improving visitor services connected to the historic site and channeling some of that investment into a small, rural, agricultural community where added economic activity can have an outsized local impact.
The core project described in the statement of work centers on developing NPS support facilities, specifically through work associated with the historic Murdock Building. The intent is that these improvements will translate into better visitor-facing services for the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site, such as having appropriate space outfitted to support NPS operations that serve the public. By investing in tenant improvements and associated buildout within an existing historic structure, the project also signals a dual emphasis: meeting operational needs for the park while respecting and maintaining the character of a historic building that is part of the community fabric.
Under the agreement, Kiowa County, as the recipient, is responsible for delivering key elements of the work. That includes providing construction services for the NPS tenant finishes in the Murdock Building and producing the necessary design and construction drawings for those tenant finishes. The county is also expected to provide expertise and oversight sufficient to ensure that applicable NPS legal requirements and standards are met during planning and construction. In other words, the county is not just acting as a contractor for physical work; it is also taking on the responsibility to plan, document, and manage the improvements in a way that aligns with federal expectations for NPS spaces.
On the NPS side, the agency commits to ensuring that any NPS-funded improvements to the historic Murdock Building comply with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. This is a major compliance point for projects involving historic structures, and it means the work must be designed and executed to preserve historic materials and features where feasible, avoid inappropriate alterations, and ensure that changes are compatible with the building's historic character. The NPS role here is essentially to protect the integrity of the historic resource while still enabling functional upgrades that support visitor services.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed under CFDA 15.954 and categorized within the Natural Resources funding activity area. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates a higher level of involvement and collaboration from the federal agency than a standard grant, consistent with the shared responsibilities described in the project roles. The posting indicates an expected single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of 1 (as stated in the source data). The opportunity was created on August 24, 2017, with an original closing date of September 3, 2017. Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced as being available in a separate eligibility clarification field, which suggests the solicitation may have been intended for a specific partner or a narrowly defined pool of applicants connected to the existing cooperative framework.
In short, this funding notice is about outfitting and finishing NPS space within the historic Murdock Building so the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site can provide stronger visitor services, while simultaneously supporting local economic development in Kiowa County. The county leads the design, drawings, and construction for tenant finishes, and the NPS ensures that the federally funded work meets nationally recognized historic preservation standards for treatment of historic properties.Apply for P17AS00727
