Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Endangered Species Program Support - Upper Klamath Lake (UKL)," is a continuation-type award planned by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation, Mid-Pacific Region. The intent is to issue a grant agreement specifically to The Klamath Tribes rather than open the funding to a competitive process. The program sits within the Natural Resources category and is tied to CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) 15.517 under the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act framework, citing the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act of 1934 and related statutory authorities, along with Bureau of Reclamation authority at 255 DM 1.1B. The funding opportunity number is R14AN20004, and it was posted June 13, 2014, with a closing date of June 27, 2014, then archived June 28, 2014.
The core purpose of the award is long-term environmental monitoring in Upper Klamath Lake and its tributaries, focused on water quality conditions and nutrient loading from tributary inputs. In practical terms, this involves continued data collection to track how nutrient levels and broader water quality parameters change over time, which is particularly important in lake systems where nutrient enrichment can drive harmful algal blooms and related ecological stress. The monitoring is framed as essential for evaluating multiple interacting factors: how lake management operations are performing, how climate variability affects conditions in the lake (for example, changes in temperature, inflows, and seasonal patterns), and whether watershed restoration actions are producing measurable improvements. The emphasis on "continued monitoring" signals that the work is intended to sustain an established dataset, which is often critical for detecting trends, separating short-term swings from long-term change, and supporting management decisions connected to endangered species needs in the UKL system.
Financially, the notice describes an estimated total agreement amount of $2,533,946.00, with Reclamation providing $510,140.00 in Fiscal Year 2014. The opportunity lists an award ceiling equal to the estimated total funding amount ($2,533,946) and an award floor of $0, with an expectation of one award. It also states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to provide a non-federal match as a condition of receiving the federal funds.
Although the funding listing includes a broad set of eligible applicant types (including various levels of government, federally recognized tribal governments, and even individuals), the actual intent described in the narrative is to award to The Klamath Tribes. The announcement explicitly notes that the government has determined not to compete this proposed financial assistance under Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(2) and (4), and that this determination is solely within the government's discretion. Just as important, the notice makes clear it is a Notice of Intent to award and not a request for competitive proposals, so it should not be read as an open solicitation where multiple applicants can submit competing applications.
Administratively, the announcement notes that System for Award Management (SAM) requirements apply, which is the federal vendor and assistance registration system needed to receive federal funds. It points readers to www.sam.gov for registration information. For questions or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Judy A. Hudson, Grants Management Specialist at the Bureau of Reclamation, reachable by email at jhudson@usbr.gov.
