Opportunity Summary:

The Bureau of Reclamation (Denver Office) issued this notice as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funding effort for its Water Reclamation and Reuse Program, commonly referred to as the Title XVI Program (CFDA 15.504). The key point of the announcement is that it is a Notice of Intent to begin the allocation process for ARRA funds under Title XVI. In other words, it signals the government is preparing to distribute Recovery Act funding through this program, but it is not itself an open solicitation and it is not asking organizations to submit applications in response to this notice.

The opportunity is labeled as a discretionary funding action and indicates the intended funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the Bureau of Reclamation expects to have substantial involvement during project execution (for example, coordination on technical, administrative, or compliance aspects) rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal ongoing federal participation. The notice anticipates up to 50 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $126,000,000. The listing also shows an award ceiling of $126,000,000, which reflects the maximum amount available across the program for this ARRA allocation rather than guaranteeing any single recipient would receive that full amount.

A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning recipients would be expected to contribute non-federal funds or other qualifying resources toward total project costs, consistent with Title XVI program rules and the specific conditions attached to the eventual allocation process. The eligible applicant category is listed broadly as "Others," with a note directing readers to the full announcement and the instruction package for the precise eligibility criteria. In practice for Title XVI, eligibility often revolves around entities involved in water supply, wastewater, and reuse infrastructure (such as local or regional water agencies), but the notice itself points applicants back to the full materials for definitive guidance.

In terms of timing, the notice was posted on March 18, 2009 (created March 20, 2009). The original closing date is shown as April 15, 2009, later updated to April 7, 2009, and the archive date is June 30, 2009. Because the announcement explicitly states it is not a request for applications, these dates function more as the window for the notice and related allocation steps rather than a typical application deadline for a competitive grant submission.

For access and next steps, the posting instructs interested parties to open the full announcement and then the application/instruction package to review details about eligibility and the allocation process. If there are problems accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Randale Jackson, Grant Specialist/Grants Officer, at (303) 445-2432.
