Opportunity Summary:
The Big Bend Conservation Area grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R10SF30004) is a Bureau of Reclamation, Lower Colorado Region notice tied to the Lower Colorado River Multi-Species Conservation Program (LCR MSCP), listed under CFDA 15.538. The purpose of the funding is to support habitat creation and restoration work that helps meet the LCR MSCP biological goals, specifically in and around the Big Bend Conservation Area (BBCA), which is associated with the Big Bend of the Colorado State Recreation Area in Nevada. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the funding instrument is a grant.
This announcement is a Notice of Intent and is not open to competition, meaning the agency is signaling its intent to make an award through a non-competitive process rather than soliciting applications from the general public. Reclamation’s partner for this work is the Nevada Division of Parks (referred to as PARKS), which is a key stakeholder because it owns land adjacent to the BBCA on both sides. The project framework is built around a Land Use Agreement (LUA) among the Southern Nevada Water Authority, the Nevada Division of Wildlife, PARKS, and Reclamation. That LUA identifies potential program lands and associated water resources that can be used to support LCR MSCP habitat actions in the Big Bend area, and it spells out the roles and responsibilities of each party for the duration of the program, providing the long-term coordination structure needed for conservation management.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $125,000, with an award ceiling of $125,000 and an award floor of $25,000, and it anticipates a single award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement noted. Because the notice is not competitive, the “Eligible Applicants” field is effectively limited by the agreement and the agency’s intent to work with its identified partner rather than opening eligibility broadly, even though the listing uses a general category (“Others”) and points readers to additional eligibility details.
The timeline provided in the announcement shows it was posted and created on December 14, 2009, with an original and current closing date of December 29, 2009, and it was archived on January 28, 2010. For assistance accessing the full announcement or for official questions, the listed contact is Shawna Thompson, Grants Officer, at 702-293-8570 or smthompson@usbr.gov.
