Opportunity Summary:
The Fish Deterring Device Study grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R12AS20039) is a Bureau of Reclamation (BOR), Mid Pacific Region notice of intent to fund a specific project through a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.512, Central Valley Project Improvement Act (Central Valley Improvement Act), authorized by Public Law 102-575, Section 3406. The project focus is environmental: BOR plans to provide financial assistance to test a low-cost fish deterring device designed to reduce or prevent the entrainment of endangered anadromous fish, meaning fish that migrate between the ocean and freshwater (such as salmonids) and can be pulled into water diversion or pumping facilities. The overall goal is to evaluate whether a practical, affordable deterrent can help protect listed fish species by keeping them away from intakes and other structures where entrainment risk is high.
This is not a competitive funding opportunity. BOR states it intends to make a sole-source award to a named organization, Family Water Alliance, and explicitly notes that the government decision not to compete the award is at its discretion under Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(4). Because of that, the posting functions as an informational notice rather than a request for applications or proposals from other entities. The eligibility section reflects this limited approach by identifying Family Water Alliance as the intended recipient.
Funding is expected to result in a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $385,000. The stated award ceiling is $385,000 and the award floor is $200,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, so the project is not described as requiring non-federal matching funds. The period of performance runs from the date of award through December 31, 2014, which sets the timeframe for completing testing and related project activities.
Key administrative dates in the posting include a posted date and creation date of September 6, 2012, with an original and current closing date of September 19, 2012, and an archive date of September 20, 2012. Even though a closing date is provided, the notice makes clear it is not soliciting competitive proposals; the dates primarily reflect the posting lifecycle rather than an open application window. The point of contact for questions is Robert Lowry, Grants Officer, reachable by email at rlowry@usbr.gov, including for assistance accessing the full announcement electronically.
