Opportunity Summary:
The Design Technical Assistance and Trinity Management Council (TMC) Support grant opportunity is a discretionary cooperative agreement announced by the Bureau of Reclamation, Mid Pacific Region, under CFDA 15.512 (Central Valley Project Improvement Act / Central Valley Improvement Act authority). The Bureau stated its intent to make a sole-source award to the California Department of Water Resources (a state government entity), citing Public Law 102-575, specifically Sections 3406(b)(1) and 3407(e), as the legal basis for the work. Because it is a sole-source action, the notice functions as a public announcement of intent rather than an open competition; it explicitly notes that it is not requesting competitive proposals and that the government retains discretion not to compete the assistance action under Departmental Manual 505 DM2 paragraph 2.14(B)(4).
The core purpose of the project is to support protection and rehabilitation of the Trinity River basin by supplying the technical and design assistance needed to plan and implement river restoration work. The project scope focuses on developing the technical information required to design river rehabilitation projects that address impacts from the Trinity River Diversion, particularly the resulting effects on fish and wildlife. It also includes mitigation planning for domestic water sources and for floodplain-related infrastructure concerns such as septic systems and other physical assets that could be affected by channel conditions or floodplain processes. In addition, the effort covers design services and monitoring related to channel rehabilitation and sediment management, with the intent of improving conditions that underpin commercial, Tribal, and recreational fisheries. A major theme is restoring and maintaining Trinity River fishery resources by rehabilitating the river channel itself and reestablishing dynamic alluvial processes (natural sediment and channel movement) that are important for sustaining aquatic habitat over time.
The anticipated period of performance runs from the date of award through September 30, 2017. The estimated total funding listed for the opportunity is $1,054,250, with an award ceiling shown as $210,850 and an award floor of $0, and the agency expected to make one award. No cost sharing or matching requirement is identified. The funding opportunity number is R13AS20002, and it was posted on October 17, 2012, with an original and current closing date of October 31, 2012, and an archive date of November 1, 2012. For questions, the notice directs inquiries to Christina Munoz, Grants Management Specialist, via email at cmunoz@usbr.gov.
