Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00054
The Lees Ferry and Lonely Dell Adaptive Reuse Planning grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00054) is a National Park Service project under the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on creating a professional planning package for the adaptive reuse of the Lees Ferry and Lonely Dell Ranch National Historic District. The effort is tied to PMIS project number 228928 and is intended to give the park a clear, practical roadmap for re-purposing and managing historic structures in the district. While the Weaver Ranch House is identified as the centerpiece of the work, the plans are expected to address the entire historic district as an interconnected site rather than treating buildings in isolation.
The main purpose is to produce programmatic design and schematic plans that allow the park to move forward with new uses for the district. At the time of the solicitation, the park was still evaluating potential uses and planned to propose a specific new use by February 2018, which would then serve as the baseline set of assumptions and constraints for the cooperator preparing the plan. In other words, the selected partner would not be inventing the park's mission for the site from scratch, but would be translating the park's proposed direction into actionable design and planning documents that respect historic preservation needs.
The scope emphasizes studying possible new uses and the practical requirements that come with implementing them in existing historic structures. This includes identifying what modifications, utilities, life-safety considerations, accessibility needs, and operational supports might be required while maintaining compatibility with the historic character of the district. The project also asks the cooperator to look at potential funding sources and to make recommendations for overall site management, recognizing that successful adaptive reuse is not only about design, but also about long-term feasibility and stewardship.
A site visit is an expected component of the work, used for documentation and analysis of existing conditions. That on-the-ground assessment should inform both structure-specific planning (plans for individual buildings) and broader site-level planning that considers how uses, circulation, visitor experience, and operations fit together across the historic district. A key expectation is that the final planning product be implementable, not just conceptual, and that it provides a coherent path from current conditions to future use.
The plan is expected to be phased and realistic, taking into account the park's limited staffing and financial capacity. Rather than assuming a single, fully funded end state, the planning deliverable should lay out low-, medium-, and high-use alternatives that the park can scale up or scale back depending on resources over time. The underlying theme is flexibility: the National Park Service is looking for adaptable structures and adaptable plans that can respond to changing budgets, staffing, and operational demands while still protecting the historic district.
Administratively, this is a discretionary opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement within the Natural Resources funding activity category (CFDA 15.945). Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. The opportunity was posted on January 10, 2018, with an original closing date of January 19, 2018. The award ceiling is $54,499, with the expectation of making one award.Apply for P18AS00054
