Opportunity Summary:
The Fisheries Restoration and Irrigation Mitigation Act (FRIMA) grant opportunity is a discretionary federal grant administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance. The announcement functions as a full synopsis of the award action and states that the agency intends to make a single award under the authority of the Fisheries Restoration and Irrigation Mitigation Act of 2007, as amended. The overall focus of this program area is environmental and natural resource protection, specifically projects that reduce or prevent harm to fish and aquatic habitat associated with irrigation and water diversion infrastructure.
This particular project is narrowly defined and construction-oriented: the funded work is to install a fish screen on the diversion used by the Tin Cup County Water and Sewer District. Fish screens are a common mitigation tool used at irrigation diversions to keep fish, especially juvenile fish and other small aquatic organisms, from being pulled into canals or pipelines where they can be injured or killed or become stranded. By screening the diversion intake, the project is intended to reduce fish entrainment, improve fish survival, and support healthier fisheries while allowing the diversion to continue operating for water delivery purposes.
The notice specifies that the award is being made to Tin Cup County Water and Sewer District and is presented as a notice of intent to award under the Fisheries Restoration and Irrigation Mitigation Program. Although the project itself was competed through the FRIMA program process, the federal posting is essentially documenting the intent to fund this specific recipient for this specific scope of work, with reference to program competition and selection information being available through the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks fisheries restoration webpage listed in the announcement.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $100,042, with an award ceiling of $100,042 and an award floor of $1,000, and it anticipates one total award. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated, meaning the recipient is not required by this notice to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant (though separate project agreements can sometimes include partner contributions; the posting itself states none is required). The funding instrument type is a grant, and the opportunity category is discretionary.
Timing details in the notice indicate the opportunity was posted and created on March 4, 2011. It shows an original closing date of March 11, 2011, and a current closing date of March 5, 2011, with an archive date of April 4, 2011. These dates suggest the federal notice was time-limited and primarily served to document the intended award action and provide a short window for any final administrative steps tied to the posting.
For applicants and eligibility, the listing describes eligible applicants broadly as "Others" with a note to see additional eligibility information, and it clarifies that this is a notice of intent to award to the Tin Cup County Water and Sewer District. In practical terms, that means it is not a wide-open solicitation for new applicants at the federal posting stage; instead, it reflects a project that has already gone through the program competition process and is moving into the award phase for the named recipient.
The contact for assistance is Andrea Meyer, Grants Management Specialist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, including a phone number (303-236-5412) and an email field referenced in the announcement for anyone who has difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically.
