Opportunity Summary:
The CRIT Channel Improvement and Bankline Stabilization Project is a Bureau of Reclamation (Lower Colorado Region) grant intended to address a failing water conveyance feature that supports access and operations at the Aha Quin Resort area along the Colorado River. The background for the project goes back to 1983, when the Colorado River overflowed its banks and shifted course near Aha Quin. To restore water access for residents and the resort area under the Parker II Mitigation plan, Reclamation dredged a channel connecting the river to the Aha Quin Resort and installed a backwater conveyance channel and culvert to help maintain enough flow through that backwater channel. Over time, those installed features have become heavily clogged with sediment and are now close to failing, creating an urgent infrastructure and access risk.
The main purpose of the funding is to support work that improves the backwater channel system and stabilizes the affected bankline, with the most immediate need being replacement of the culvert and related improvements to restore reliable flow and maintain access. The urgency is tied directly to the Tribe's significant facilities and day-to-day operations in the Hall Island area. The site includes numerous buildings and business functions, such as an airstrip with hangars, a storage yard and storage units, a boat launch ramp that provides river access, fuel tanks and a refueling facility, a restaurant and convenience store, and a community park with public restrooms. If the plugged and deteriorating culvert is not replaced, access to the area could become difficult or unreliable, affecting public use, safety, and business operations tied to the resort and surrounding facilities.
Administratively, this opportunity is listed as a discretionary grant under the Natural Resources activity category, associated with CFDA 15.519 (Indian Tribal Water Resources Development, Management, and Protection). It was structured as a single award with a fixed total amount of $40,000, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $40,000, and it did not require cost sharing or matching funds. Importantly, the notice states it is a notice of intent to award and that no competition is being sought, meaning it was not a typical open, competitive funding opportunity. The posting date was September 1, 2013, with an original and current closing date of September 15, 2013, and an archive date of October 15, 2013.
For points of contact, the grant listed Shawna Thompson, Grants Officer, Bureau of Reclamation, with phone number 702-293-8570 and email smthompson@usbr.gov for assistance accessing the full announcement electronically.
