Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Reclamation (BOR), Mid Pacific Region, announced a discretionary grant funding opportunity under Funding Opportunity Number R10SF20005 titled "Groundwater Banking Improvements in Northwestern Kern County." The grant is being offered through BORs WaterSMART program (CFDA 15.507, Sustaining and Manage Americas Resources for Tomorrow) and is aimed specifically at supporting groundwater banking improvements in Northwestern Kern County, California. The central goal of the announcement is to help move the Semitropic Project Improvements forward by funding the planning and design work needed before construction or implementation can occur.
The opportunity is structured as a grant with an expected single award, meaning BOR anticipated selecting one recipient for the project described. The estimated total funding available is $917,000, and the award ceiling is also $917,000, which indicates the maximum grant amount that could be awarded under this announcement. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants should expect that BOR funds are not intended to cover 100 percent of project costs and that the selected applicant would need to contribute matching funds or in kind support consistent with the FOA terms.
Eligibility is limited to water storage districts located in Northwestern Kern County, California. In other words, this is not an open nationwide competition; it is targeted funding intended for a specific region and a specific class of local water agencies that manage storage and related infrastructure. Because the purpose is tied to groundwater banking improvements and planning/design for Semitropic Project Improvements, the work funded would likely include engineering studies, design documents, planning efforts, and other pre construction activities necessary to advance groundwater recharge, storage, and recovery capabilities in the area.
The announcement also notes that Central Contractor Registration (CCR) requirements apply. At the time of this posting (2009), CCR was the federal registration system required for entities seeking federal financial assistance; applicants would need to be properly registered to be eligible for award. The notice provides a CCR website link (http://www.ccr.gov) as the resource for registration information.
Key dates included a posted date of November 23, 2009, a creation date of November 24, 2009, and a revised closing date of December 7, 2009 (earlier than the original closing date of December 18, 2009). The archive date is listed as December 8, 2009, indicating the opportunity was closed and archived immediately after the final submission deadline.
For questions or access issues, BOR provided points of contact. Program and FOA questions were directed to Kyle Daniska (kdaniska@usbr.gov) or Mary F. Sims (msims@usbr.gov). The contact section also lists Kyle Daniska as a Procurement Technician with a phone number of 916-978-5549 for applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically.
