Opportunity Summary:

The Bureau of Reclamation (Mid-Pacific Region) announced a Notice of Intent to award a continuation grant for the American Basin Fish Screen and Habitat Improvement Project focused on the Sankey Diversion Fish Screen Construction and Landside Improvements, Phase IV (Funding Opportunity Number R10AS20008). The planned recipient is Natomas Central Mutual Water Company, and the notice makes clear that this is not a competitive solicitation. In other words, the government is signaling its intent to fund a specific organization for a defined phase of an ongoing project, rather than inviting proposals from multiple applicants. The agency notes that the decision not to compete the assistance is made under Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(4), and that this determination remains solely within the government’s discretion.

The main purpose of the grant is to fund the first phase of construction work for this phase of the broader American Basin effort. The construction scope includes building the Sankey Diversion and completing related landside improvements. A significant piece of the work is also tied to decommissioning older infrastructure: the project includes demolition and site restoration associated with taking the Bennett Pumping Plant, the Northern Pumping Plant, and the Verona Dam out of service. Taken together, these elements point to a combined fish protection and habitat improvement approach that modernizes diversion infrastructure (through a fish screen and associated facilities) while removing or retiring structures that may no longer be needed or may contribute to environmental or operational concerns.

From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity is categorized as a continuation award using a grant instrument, with the funding activity area listed as Natural Resources. The program is associated with CFDA 15.512, Central Valley Project Improvement Act, Title XXXIV, and it includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute a portion of project costs through non-federal funds or other eligible match sources as defined in the eventual agreement terms. The posting date and creation date are both January 27, 2010, with an original and current closing date of February 10, 2010, and an archive date of February 11, 2010.

In terms of funding levels, the notice lists an estimated total funding amount of $22,987,500 for the overall opportunity record, with an award ceiling of $5,702,180 and an award floor of $0. The expected number of awards is one, consistent with the stated intent to make a single, directed award to Natomas Central Mutual Water Company. The eligibility field shows “Individuals,” but the accompanying eligibility information clarifies that the requirement is posted specifically as a Notice of Intent to award to Natomas Mutual Water Company, reinforcing that this announcement is not structured for open competition.

The notice also references registration requirements that were in place at the time, stating that Central Contractor Registration (CCR) applies, with information available at http://www.ccr.gov. For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Judy A. Hudson, identified as a Contract Specialist, reachable by email at jhudson@usbr.gov.
