Opportunity Summary:
The East Park Reservoir Recreation Area Construction of Disk Golf Course and Bathroom Improvements opportunity is a Bureau of Reclamation (Department of the Interior) notice stating its intent to make a single cooperative agreement award to Colusa County. The funding is issued under CFDA 15.524 and is authorized by the Federal Water Projects Recreation Act of 1965 (Public Law 89-72), specifically Section 3(b)(1), as amended (16 U.S.C. 460l-12 through 460l-21). The overall aim is to support recreation-related improvements at East Park Reservoir so that the reservoir's recreational and public uses can be managed and maintained for the long term benefit of the public.
This announcement is categorized as a discretionary funding opportunity and the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared with a standard grant. The activity category is listed as Natural Resources, and the eligible applicant type is county governments. While the public listing shows an award ceiling of 2,878,904 and anticipates one award, the specific project described in the notice is much smaller in scale: the estimated total agreement amount is 57,578.08. The cost share is split evenly between the recipient and the federal government, with Colusa County providing 28,789.04 and Reclamation providing 28,789.04, with the federal portion identified as Fiscal Year 2016 funding.
The project scope, as reflected in the title and description, focuses on constructing a disc golf course and making bathroom improvements at the East Park Reservoir Recreation Area. The stated purpose is to help ensure that recreation opportunities and other public uses at the reservoir can be managed effectively in the future for citizens of the state. In practice, that means the funds are intended for on-the-ground recreation infrastructure that improves visitor experience, supports public access, and strengthens the site’s ability to accommodate recreational demand over time.
A key point of this notice is that it is not competitive. The Bureau of Reclamation explicitly states this is a notice of intent to award, not a request for proposals, and it references the Departmental Manual (505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(2) and (4)) as the basis for its decision not to compete the assistance. In other words, the agency is signaling that it plans to proceed directly with Colusa County rather than soliciting applications from multiple parties, and the decision to do so is described as being solely within the government’s discretion.
For timing and administrative details, the opportunity was created on August 16, 2016, with an original closing date of August 29, 2016, and it expects one award. Any questions about the announcement are directed to Teresa E. Brown, Grants Management Specialist at the Bureau of Reclamation, reachable by email at tebrown@usbr.gov. The notice also points readers to the referenced Notice of Intent to Award Announcement No. R16AN20018 for any additional project or award details beyond what is summarized in the listing.
