Opportunity Summary:
The Great Plains Regional Office, Eastern Colorado Area Office, Water Conservation Field Services Program (Funding Opportunity Number R14AS00009) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, under CFDA 15.530 (Water Conservation Field Services Program). The program is aimed at supporting water conservation-related activities during federal fiscal year 2014, covering the period from October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014. In practical terms, this solicitation is looking to fund projects that align with Reclamation's Water Conservation Field Services Program goals in the Eastern Colorado service area, generally focused on improving water management and encouraging more efficient water use within eligible public-sector water and resource management entities.
Funding for the opportunity is estimated at a total of $92,000, with Reclamation expecting to make about two awards. While the listed award ceiling is $100,000 and the award floor is $0, the total funding level suggests awards will likely be modest and competitive, depending on proposal scope, available funds, and how closely proposed activities match program priorities. The funding instrument is a grant, and applicants should also plan for cost sharing or matching because a matching requirement is explicitly stated. That means selected recipients will be expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or eligible in-kind support, depending on the program rules) to help cover project costs, rather than relying entirely on federal dollars.
Eligible applicants are limited to governmental and quasi-governmental entities, specifically including state governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, special district governments, city or township governments, and county governments. This eligibility list indicates the program is geared toward public water providers, irrigation or water conservancy districts, tribal water programs, and similar local or regional entities that can carry out water conservation work with measurable public benefit. Private individuals, nonprofits, and for-profit entities are not listed among eligible applicants for this particular announcement, so participation would generally need to be through one of the eligible government categories.
The opportunity was posted on December 12, 2013, with a closing date of February 10, 2014 (and an archive date of February 11, 2014). Applicants were directed to the full announcement details via Grants.gov, and a point of contact was provided for access issues: Lindsey Nafts at lnafts@usbr.gov.
