Opportunity Summary:
The Delta Habitat Conservation and Conveyance Program (DHCCP) Investigations opportunity is a continuation funding action from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation to add funding to an existing cooperative agreement with the California Department of Water Resources. Rather than opening a new competition, Reclamation signaled its intent to modify and supplement Cooperative Agreement #R10AC20897 (previously 09FC200011) under CFDA 15.517, Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act authority. In practical terms, this announcement functions as a formal notice that the federal government plans to continue supporting ongoing DHCCP planning and compliance work with the same state partner, and it is explicitly not a request for proposals from other applicants.
The funding is aimed at advancing the pre-construction and decision-support work needed for the DHCCP, specifically general planning studies, preliminary engineering, and the environmental compliance documentation required under both the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The stated goal is to produce the analyses and documentation necessary to move the program through the environmental review process, including development of materials leading to the Public Draft Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS). In addition to the core planning and engineering tasks, the scope covered by the modification includes permitting support, operations planning, program management, environmental technical tasks, public outreach activities, and overall program operations. Notably, it also covers litigation-related work that Reclamation describes as necessary to complete the Public Draft DHCCP EIR/EIS.
Administratively, this opportunity is categorized as a cooperative agreement, which generally implies ongoing federal involvement or substantial collaboration during project execution rather than a simple pass-through grant. The activity category is listed as environment, with an anticipated single award and eligibility limited to state governments, reflecting that the intended recipient is the California Department of Water Resources. Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources in addition to the federal funds.
Financially, the estimated total funding is $845,000, with an award ceiling of $845,000 and no stated minimum award floor. The posting date and creation date were February 21, 2014, with a closing date of March 7, 2014, and an archive date of March 8, 2014. Because this is a continuation and not a competitive solicitation, those dates mainly serve as public notice timelines rather than a typical application window for multiple applicants.
Finally, the notice underscores that the decision not to compete the financial assistance action is at the government’s discretion under Reclamation policy (referenced as Reclamation Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(2)(4)). Anyone needing clarification is directed to the listed grants management contact, Megan Bryant, at mbryant@usbr.gov, and the announcement references Notice of Intent to Award Announcement No. R10AC20897 0012 for additional detail.
