Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "A Feasibility Study of Alternatives Augmentation Water Supply of Lake Thunderbird" (Funding Opportunity Number 09SF600055), is a federal discretionary funding action administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Great Plains Region. It was issued under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.504, the Title XVI Water Reclamation and Reuse Program, which generally supports water reuse, recycling, and related planning efforts aimed at improving water supply reliability in the western and certain eligible areas of the United States.
The announcement is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not a competitive solicitation and is not inviting proposals from a broad pool of applicants. Instead, Reclamation states its intent to make a single cooperative agreement award to a specific entity: the Central Oklahoma Master Conservancy District. The purpose of the cooperative agreement is to fund a feasibility study focused on identifying and evaluating alternatives to augment the water supply associated with Lake Thunderbird. In practical terms, a feasibility study of this type typically examines multiple potential approaches to increasing available supply or improving system reliability, such as water reuse or reclamation options, infrastructure modifications, operational changes, interconnections with other supplies, or other measures that could strengthen long-term water availability for the communities and users served by the lake.
The anticipated award profile reflects this single-recipient intent. The opportunity lists an expected number of awards of 1, with an estimated total funding amount of $650,000 and an award ceiling of $650,000 (with an award floor of $0). The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period compared to a standard grant. That involvement often takes the form of technical collaboration, review of interim products, coordination on study scope and deliverables, and other forms of active federal participation while the recipient carries out the work.
Cost sharing or matching is required, consistent with many Title XVI-related activities where federal participation is paired with non-federal contributions. While the summary information does not specify the exact matching percentage or eligible forms of match, the listing makes clear that the recipient must provide some level of cost share as a condition of the award. The eligible applicant type noted is "special district governments," which aligns with the designated recipient being a conservancy district.
In terms of timing and status, the opportunity was posted and created on September 14, 2009, with an original and current closing date of September 27, 2009. It was archived on September 28, 2009, indicating the announcement is no longer active. Because it is a notice of intent rather than a competition, these dates function more as an administrative window for the publication and processing of the intent to award rather than an open application period for multiple parties.
For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Lindsey Nafts, Grants Officer, reachable by phone at 406-247-7684.
