Opportunity Summary:
The Emergency Drought Barriers Water Quality Monitoring opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R15AN20023) is a discretionary cooperative agreement the Bureau of Reclamation planned to award to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR). It was published on September 3, 2015, with a closing date of September 17, 2015, and archived on September 18, 2015. The program sits in the environment activity area and was structured as a single expected award.
The purpose of the agreement is practical and narrowly focused: install, monitor, and later remove additional water quality sensors so agencies can better understand how drought conditions and drought response actions are affecting the environment and day-to-day water operations. In other words, the funding supports on-the-ground monitoring capacity, generating data that can inform operational decisions and environmental management during drought and drought-related activities, including those associated with emergency drought barriers.
The total estimated funding for the agreement was $200,000, with Reclamation providing the full $200,000 in Fiscal Year 2015. The award ceiling was listed as $200,000 and the award floor as $0, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligible applicants were limited to state governments, and the intent was specifically to issue the cooperative agreement to DWR.
Legally, the award was tied to CFDA 15.517 under the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act authorities (including Public Law 85-624 and related statutory citations), as delegated within Department of the Interior authority to the Bureau of Reclamation. The notice also makes clear this was a notice of intent to award and not a competitive solicitation. The government explicitly stated it was not requesting competitive proposals and noted that the decision not to compete the financial assistance was at the government’s discretion under the cited Departmental Manual provision.
For follow-up or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Megan Bryant, Grants Management Specialist at the Bureau of Reclamation, reachable by email at mbryant@usbr.gov.
