Opportunity Summary:
The El Monte Valley Groundwater Recharge, Mining, and Reclamation Project Preconstruction Activities funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 09SF350254) is a Bureau of Reclamation effort in the Lower Colorado Region intended to support preconstruction work for a project focused on groundwater recharge, mining-related activities, and reclamation in the El Monte Valley area. The opportunity sits within the Natural Resources funding activity area and is tied to CFDA 15.504, the Title XVI Water Reclamation and Reuse Program, which generally supports projects that expand water reuse, reclamation, and related water supply reliability efforts.
This announcement is specifically a notice of intent to make a non-competitive cooperative agreement award to the Helix Water District, meaning the Bureau of Reclamation planned to fund this particular recipient without an open, competitive selection process. The listed eligible applicant type is "special district governments," consistent with Helix Water District being a special district. Because the instrument type is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, the Bureau of Reclamation typically anticipates a more active federal role during project execution (for example, coordination, oversight, and collaboration during the funded preconstruction tasks), as opposed to a more hands-off pass-through approach.
The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $1,062,500. The award ceiling is also $1,062,500, indicating the maximum intended federal amount aligned with the total estimate, while the award floor is shown as $100,000. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so the recipient would be expected to contribute non-federal funds or in-kind contributions consistent with the program requirements and the negotiated cooperative agreement terms.
Key timing details in the notice include a posted date of May 8, 2009, with both the original and current closing date listed as May 15, 2009, and an archive date of June 14, 2009. Those dates reflect the short window typical of notices of intent for non-competitive actions, where the purpose is often to provide public notice rather than to solicit competing applications.
For access issues related to the full announcement, the point of contact provided is Dennis Wolfe, Area Engineer, reachable by phone at (951) 695-5310.
