Opportunity Summary:
The Contra Loma ADA Restroom and Fish Cleaning Station Improvement Project is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (Mid-Pacific Region). It falls under CFDA 15.524, Recreation Resources Management, and is tied to ongoing recreation resource development at the Contra Loma recreation area. The Bureau of Reclamation indicates it intends to issue a grant agreement specifically to the East Bay Regional Park District, rather than running a standard open competition.
The project focuses on practical public-use infrastructure upgrades aimed at accessibility, sanitation, and environmental protection. A major component is improving restroom facilities at the reservoir to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements and to address sanitary conditions for visitors. Another core task is upgrading the existing fish cleaning station so it is also ADA-compliant and provides a safer, more efficient way for the public to dispose of fish waste. A key goal of that upgrade is preventing fish waste from entering the reservoir, which supports better water quality and reduces health and nuisance issues associated with improper disposal.
Overall, the funding is intended to improve water quality, public safety, and sanitary facilities at the park. The opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources, with one expected award. The total estimated funding is $80,000, and both the award floor and ceiling are listed as $80,000, meaning the anticipated award amount is fixed at that level. Cost sharing or matching is required, so the recipient is expected to contribute additional funds or in-kind support as part of the overall project financing.
This notice is explicitly described as a notice of intent and not a request for competitive proposals. The Bureau of Reclamation cites Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(2) as the basis for not competing the financial assistance, and notes that the decision not to compete is solely at the government’s discretion. While the listing includes a closing date (September 20, 2013) and an archive date (September 23, 2013), the narrative makes clear the purpose is to document the intended direct award rather than solicit applications from the broader public. Questions are directed to Beverly S. Breen, Grants Officer, at bbreen@usbr.gov.
