Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity is a Bureau of Reclamation (Mid-Pacific Region) continuation action tied to the Central Valley Project Improvement Act (CFDA 15.512, Public Law 102-575, Section 3406(b)(10)). Rather than opening a new competitive solicitation, Reclamation planned to modify an existing cooperative agreement (R10AC20835) with the Tehama Colusa Canal Authority. The purpose of the modification is to add additional funding and extend the project completion date so the recipient can continue ongoing work connected to the Fish Passage Improvement Project at the Red Bluff Diversion Dam in California, which is part of the Central Valley Project.
The work being supported centers on design and related professional services, plus overall project support that leads up to construction of the chosen fish-passage alternative at the dam. The announcement explains that multiple design iterations have increased the level of effort needed to complete the design and properly prepare for construction, including the development and preparation for a mitigation plan. In practical terms, the funding is meant to cover the expanded workload and additional time required to reach a construction-ready stage for a fish protection and passage solution at the site.
Financially, the modification amount identified is $1,031,497.13 (with an award ceiling listed as $1,031,497 and no stated award floor). The opportunity record lists an estimated total funding figure of $11,799,477, but the specific action described here is the roughly $1.03 million increase to the existing cooperative agreement. The opportunity indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Only one award is expected, and eligibility is limited to special district governments, consistent with the intended continuation award to the existing partner.
Administratively, this notice is explicitly described as a notice of intent and not a request for competitive proposals. Reclamation cites its authority to proceed without competition under Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(2) and (4), emphasizing that the decision not to compete is solely at the government’s discretion. The posting date is August 28, 2012, with an original and current closing date of September 11, 2012, and an archive date of September 12, 2012. For questions, the listed point of contact is Mary Sims, Grants Officer/Grants Management Specialist, reachable by email at msims@usbr.gov.
