Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Alamitos Barrier Recycled Water Project Expansion - Preconstruction Activities" (Funding Opportunity Number R11SF35299) was a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation, Lower Colorado Region. It was issued under CFDA 15.504, the Title XVI Water Reclamation and Reuse Program, which supports projects that reclaim and reuse water supplies, typically for purposes such as reducing demand on potable sources, improving water reliability, and supporting water management goals in arid and semi-arid regions.
This opportunity was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency expected to have substantial involvement during the project period rather than providing a hands-off grant. The funding activity category was Natural Resources, and the program anticipated making a single award. The total estimated funding was set at $650,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor were also $650,000, indicating the award amount was fixed for the selected recipient rather than offered as a variable range.
The purpose of the funding was to cover specific preconstruction activities for the Alamitos Barrier Recycled Water Project Expansion. In practical terms, the funds were intended to support the work needed to get the project ready for construction, rather than paying for construction itself. The description highlights two major areas of work: (1) final design efforts for an Advanced Water Treatment Facility, and (2) 30 percent design work plus environmental studies for an alternate source water pipeline. Final design typically involves completing engineering drawings, specifications, and technical documents to a level suitable for bidding and construction, while 30 percent design generally represents an early but meaningful stage of engineering development that establishes key alignments, sizing concepts, preliminary technical requirements, and project feasibility details. Environmental studies are commonly used to evaluate potential environmental impacts and support compliance with applicable environmental review requirements.
Eligibility was limited to special district governments, which typically includes entities such as water districts or similar local or regional public agencies with authority over water supply, treatment, reuse, or related infrastructure. The posting date and creation date were both September 13, 2011. The original and current closing date for applications was September 27, 2011, and the opportunity was later archived on October 27, 2011.
For applicant support or access issues related to the announcement, the listed point of contact was Dennis Wolfe, Area Engineer, reachable by phone at 951-695-5310.
