Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity is a continuation cooperative agreement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (Mid-Pacific Region), focused on environmental protection in the Central Valley Project area. The Bureau of Reclamation announced its intent to issue a single award to Meridian Farms Water Company to continue work on a fish protection effort titled "Fish Screen Project - Construction of New Grimes Diversion, Grimes Pipeline/Canal and Phase 1 Drexler Pipeline." The project is designed to reduce harm to fish, particularly migrating Chinook salmon, by ensuring they can move past water diversion intakes without being pulled into (entrained by) the diversion system.
The legal authority for the funding comes from CFDA 15.512, tied to the Central Valley Project Improvement Act (Title XXXIV of Public Law 102-575, Section 3406). The announced estimated total federal funding amount is $63,257.92 (rounded in the posting to $63,258), and the notice indicates a fixed expected award structure: one award, with the award ceiling and floor both listed as $63,258. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated, meaning the recipient is not required to provide a non-federal match as a condition of receiving the funds.
A key point of this notice is that it is not a competitive funding announcement. It is a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning the government is signaling its plan to make a directed award to a specific recipient (Meridian Farms Water Company) rather than soliciting proposals from multiple applicants. The Bureau of Reclamation cites Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(2) and (4) as the basis for not competing the assistance, and it explicitly notes that the decision not to compete is solely within the government's discretion. As a result, other organizations are not being invited to submit competing applications under this posting.
In practical terms, the funded work supports construction and continuation activities associated with the Grimes diversion and related pipeline/canal infrastructure, with the central environmental objective of improving fish passage and minimizing entrainment risk at intake points. The opportunity was posted on April 5, 2013, with an original and current closing date of April 19, 2013, and it was archived on April 20, 2013. Anyone with questions is directed to the listed grants management specialist, Robert S. Lowry, reachable by email at rlowry@usbr.gov, and the same contact is provided for assistance accessing the full announcement electronically.
