Stabilization of the FLR Stables at Pecos NHP | P19AS00106

Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00106

The grant opportunity titled "Stabilization of the FLR Stables at Pecos NHP" (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00106) is a National Park Service project aimed at preventing the loss of a specific historic structure at Pecos National Historical Park. The focus is the Forked Lightning Ranch Stable complex, where a one-room adobe tack room attached to the wooden horse stables has deteriorated to the point that it is at risk of collapsing. The core purpose of the project is preservation and stabilization of this endangered historic resource, with the work framed not only as a repair effort but also as a hands-on training and capacity-building activity centered on traditional building methods.

The funding is offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, under a discretionary program and would be issued as a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency is expected to be actively involved in the project rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The activity category is listed as Natural Resources (CFDA 15.945), which in National Park Service contexts often includes cultural resource protection and historic preservation work that supports stewardship of park resources. The opportunity anticipates making a single award, with a maximum federal funding amount (award ceiling) of $59,591.

A major feature of the project is partnership-based implementation. The park plans to work with Cornerstones Community Partnerships, a nonprofit 501(c)(3), to organize and carry out a training workshop. The workshop is intended to teach and apply practical preservation skills directly on the threatened structure, combining education with tangible stabilization outcomes. The training topics specifically called out include adobe repair, adobe wall construction, lime plaster application, and other related preservation techniques. This approach supports the immediate goal of stabilizing the tack room while also helping develop or reinforce a skilled workforce familiar with traditional materials and methods that are essential for long-term maintenance of adobe and historic ranch structures in the region.

Eligibility for applicants is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The opportunity was created on April 10, 2019, with an original closing date of April 19, 2019, indicating it was a time-limited solicitation with a short application window. Overall, the grant is designed to address an urgent preservation need at Pecos NHP by combining emergency stabilization work with structured, technique-focused training that relies on collaboration between the National Park Service and a qualified preservation nonprofit partner.
