Opportunity Summary:
The Fernley Drainage Study grant opportunity is a discretionary financial assistance award from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (Mid-Pacific Regional Office). It is tied to Reclamation funding authority cited in federal appropriations law (Division C, Title II, Section 204 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008, as amended by the Consolidated Security, Disaster Assistance, and Continuing Appropriations Act, 2009) and is identified under the WaterSMART program listing (CFDA 15.507 is shown in the source data, while the narrative also references CFDA 15.517). The core purpose is practical and technical: to fund completion of a drainage study for the City of Fernley, Nevada that will generate the information needed by the State of Nevada, the City of Fernley, and the Bureau of Reclamation to understand how stormwater moves through the area and what infrastructure or drainage solutions are required to manage normal stormwater runoff.
The work to be funded is specifically a study, not construction. The study is intended to determine the capacity needed for drainage, map or confirm the routes of natural drainage, and identify methods to convey stormwater during typical storm events. In other words, the deliverable is the analysis and planning information that supports decisions about stormwater management, including where water naturally flows, where it should be directed, and what types of conveyance approaches (channels, diversions, culverts, or other methods) may be appropriate based on capacity needs.
This award is structured as a grant with a cost-sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with total funding set at $74,823, and both the award ceiling and floor are the same amount, meaning the grant was essentially scoped for a fixed-dollar award. The estimated award date was on or about February 27, 2009, and the period of performance runs from the date of award through December 31, 2010.
A key feature of this notice is that it is a sole-source intent to award rather than a competition. Reclamation states it intends to issue the grant agreement specifically to the State of Nevada, Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, located at 901 S Stewart Street, Carson City, NV 89701. The agency also notes that the government decision not to compete the financial assistance is based on Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(4), and that this determination is solely within the government’s discretion. As a result, the announcement explicitly says it is not a request for competitive proposals, even though it appears in a grants listing format with posted and closing dates.
Administrative details in the listing include Funding Opportunity Number 09SS200020 and the title “Fernley Drainage Study.” It was posted January 14, 2009, created January 14, 2009, with an original and current closing date of January 28, 2009, and an archive date of February 27, 2009. Eligible applicants are listed as state governments, aligning with the intended recipient (the State of Nevada). The announcement also indicates that Central Contractor Registration (CCR) applies, referencing the then-required federal registration system for entities receiving federal awards (the notice points to http://www.ccr.gov for registration information).
For questions or access issues, the point of contact is Maria E. Castaneda/Maria Castaneda, identified as a Contract Specialist with the Bureau of Reclamation. Contact details provided include email (mcastaneda@mp.usbr.gov) and phone number (916-978-5148).
