Opportunity Summary:
The Huntington Cleveland Salinity Reduction Project (Funding Opportunity Number R13SS40014) is a Bureau of Reclamation, Upper Colorado Region, continuation funding action under CFDA 15.509 (Title II, Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Program). It is structured as a cooperative agreement and is explicitly described as a Notice of Intent to Award to the Huntington Cleveland Irrigation Company (HCIC), meaning it is essentially a follow-on award tied to an existing, previously funded project rather than a typical open, competitive grant.
The underlying project began with Reclamation agreement 04 FC 40 2242 awarded in 2004. The core goal is to modernize irrigation delivery infrastructure in northern Emery County, Utah, in and around Huntington, Lawrence, Cleveland, and Elmo. Specifically, the work involves replacing roughly 350 miles of existing earthen canals and laterals with a pressurized pipeline distribution system. This type of conversion is intended to reduce seepage and return flows that carry dissolved salts, and when the full system is completed, Reclamation estimates it will reduce salt loading to the Colorado River system by about 59,000 tons per year.
This 2013 opportunity exists because the original project timeline extended beyond what was expected due to unforeseen events and weather-related delays. Reclamation indicates the project is already substantially complete, but it is issuing a follow-on agreement to finish the remaining incomplete elements. The agency states it is committed to funding approximately the last 5 percent of work so the system can be fully completed and operate as designed. The anticipated completion date for this final phase is March 2014.
Reclamation emphasizes that completing the remaining work is important for two main reasons. First, without completion, the full projected salinity reduction benefits to the Colorado River Basin would not be realized. Second, partially completed pipeline and distribution upgrades may not function as intended until the entire system is finished, which would leave many individual water users in the project area without fully working on-farm salinity control measures that depend on a properly operating pressurized delivery network.
HCIC is identified as the intended recipient because it has already completed the necessary design, engineering, and planning work, represents the landowners within the service area, and serves as the manager and operator of the distribution system. Those roles give HCIC direct access to the project area and practical knowledge of what is required to complete construction and integrate the remaining pieces into the existing infrastructure.
In terms of funding details, Reclamation lists one expected award with total estimated funding of $1,109,913, and both the award ceiling and floor are also set at $1,109,913, indicating a single, fixed-amount award for this continuation action. Cost sharing or matching is required. The opportunity was posted March 22, 2013, with a closing date of March 29, 2013, and an archive date of March 30, 2013.
