Opportunity Summary:
The Arroyo Canal Fish Screen and Sack Dam Fish Passage Project (Funding Opportunity Number R11AS20016) is a discretionary grant opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Mid-Pacific Region, under CFDA 15.507 (WaterSMART: Sustaining and Manage Americas Resources for Tomorrow). The agency states its intent to make a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $3,498,259 and an award ceiling of $3,500,000. No cost sharing or matching requirement is listed. The opportunity was posted on April 20, 2011, with an original and current closing date of May 4, 2011, and it was archived on June 3, 2011.
The intended recipient is Henry Miller Reclamation District #2131, and the announcement functions as a Notice of Intent to Award rather than an open competitive solicitation. In practical terms, the Bureau of Reclamation is signaling that it plans to enter into a grant agreement with that district to move forward with specific early phases of work tied to a Memorandum of Understanding between the parties. While the eligibility field references state, tribal, and local governmental agencies, the text indicates the award is directed to the named reclamation district for this particular project.
The core purpose of the grant is to fund implementation of Phase I and part of Phase II of the Arroyo Canal Fish Screen and Sack Dam Fish Passage Project. The work supported by the award is focused on pre-construction development rather than physical construction. Specifically, the funding is intended to provide the financial means for the district to complete portions of environmental planning, environmental documentation, and permitting, along with all engineering design needed for the fish screen and fish passage components. These activities are positioned as necessary prerequisites that directly support a future construction effort by producing compliant environmental deliverables and completed design packages that can be used to build the facilities.
The project is categorized under the Environment funding activity area and centers on fish protection and fish passage improvements associated with water diversion infrastructure. Fish screens are typically used to reduce entrainment of fish into canals, while fish passage improvements at a dam are designed to help migratory or resident species move past barriers more effectively. Although the notice does not list technical specifications, schedules, or biological targets, it makes clear that the near-term deliverables are planning and design outputs that enable later on-the-ground implementation.
For additional details, the announcement directs readers to the related Notice of Intent to Award and provides a point of contact: Grants Officer/Contract Specialist Margaret Kirkpatrick, reachable by email at mkirkpatrick@usbr.gov, including assistance for anyone who has trouble accessing the full announcement electronically.
