Opportunity Summary:
The Battle Creek Salmon and Steelhead Restoration Project, Phase 2 is a federal financial assistance opportunity issued by the Bureau of Reclamation, Mid-Pacific Region, focused on ecosystem restoration in the Battle Creek watershed in California. The core aim of the effort is to restore populations of Chinook salmon and steelhead, along with the habitat conditions these fish depend on. The project is framed as the second phase of an ongoing restoration program and is tied to the broader goals of improving fish and wildlife resources affected by large water projects in the Central Valley.
This notice is a Notice of Intent to make a sole source award, meaning the Bureau of Reclamation is signaling its plan to provide the funding through a Cooperative Agreement specifically to the California Department of Water Resources rather than running a competitive grant process. The agency cites its legal authority under CFDA 15.512 (Central Valley Project Improvement Act), Public Law 102-575, including Sections 3406(b)(1) and 3407(e). It also notes that the decision not to compete the award is governed by Departmental Manual 505 DM 2 and is entirely at the government’s discretion. Importantly, the announcement makes clear that the notice is not a request for competitive proposals, so other applicants are not being invited to submit bids or applications for this particular award.
The funding details indicate one expected award, with an estimated total amount of $1,147,900. The award ceiling matches that amount and the award floor is listed as $0, reflecting that the government’s intended award size is up to the stated ceiling. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement specified, which means the recipient is not required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The instrument type is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically implies substantial involvement by the federal agency during project implementation compared to a standard grant.
The period of performance is set from the date of award through September 30, 2016. The opportunity was posted on June 14, 2013, with a closing date of June 28, 2013, and an archive date of June 29, 2013. Eligibility is limited to state governments, consistent with the sole source intent to fund a state agency, in this case the California Department of Water Resources.
Administrative requirements referenced in the notice include compliance with the System of Award Management (SAM), meaning the relevant entity must maintain appropriate SAM registration to receive federal financial assistance. For questions, the notice directs inquiries to Christina Munoz, Grants Management Specialist, via email at cmunoz@usbr.gov. The official funding opportunity number associated with the announcement is R13AS20011.
