Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Design, Construction and Construction Oversight for the Reaches 24.1, 25 and 26 of the Navajo Gallup Water Supply System" is a discretionary federal grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (Upper Colorado Region). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period, such as coordinating on technical reviews, design standards, or construction oversight expectations. The opportunity was posted on August 7, 2013, with an original and final application deadline of August 21, 2013, and it was archived on August 22, 2013. The program is associated with CFDA 15.552, the Navajo Gallup Water Supply Project.
The purpose of this award is to support work connected to the design, construction, and construction oversight for specific segments (Reaches 24.1, 25, and 26) of the Navajo Gallup Water Supply System (NGWSP). These reaches are components of a much larger regional water infrastructure effort intended to deliver a dependable municipal, industrial, and domestic water supply. The system, once fully completed, is intended to serve multiple beneficiaries across state lines, including Navajo Nation communities in New Mexico, the City of Gallup in New Mexico, Window Rock and Fort Defiance in Arizona, the Navajo Agricultural Products Industry, and part of the Jicarilla Apache Nation. The underlying public need driving this project is that many of these communities currently depend on groundwater that is both declining rapidly and often poor in quality, leaving supplies inadequate for current demand and projected future growth.
Funding for this specific opportunity was relatively targeted and limited to a single expected award. The estimated total available funding was $562,681, with an award ceiling listed at $562,681 and an award floor of $1. In practical terms, the ceiling and total funding figure signal that the federal government anticipated making one award up to the full amount available, rather than distributing funds across multiple recipients. No cost sharing or matching requirement was indicated, which generally lowers the barrier for eligible applicants by not requiring them to contribute a defined percentage of non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was restricted to certain public entities: federally recognized Native American tribal governments and city or township governments. Given the nature of the NGWSP and the listed service areas, this eligibility structure aligns with the intended beneficiaries and the jurisdictions responsible for local water service planning and infrastructure coordination. The activity category is listed as "Environment," which fits a large-scale water supply and sustainability project that addresses water quality, reliability, and long-term resource management concerns in arid and groundwater-stressed regions.
