Opportunity Summary:
The Hydroelectric Project grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number A12A01197) is a discretionary grant issued by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) under the Natural Resources funding activity category. It is structured as a single expected award with a total estimated funding amount of $600,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor are set at $600,000, meaning the agency anticipated making one grant in that exact amount. No cost sharing or matching requirement is included. The eligible applicant category is federally recognized Native American tribal governments, but the announcement specifies that this particular award is being made on a single-source basis to the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes.
The purpose of the funding is to support ongoing assessments tied to the Kerr Hydroelectric acquisition project. The description indicates the funds come through EMDP funding, which in this context is intended to help move forward with targeted feasibility, planning, and analytical work needed for the acquisition effort. The scope of supported work includes power marketing analysis (how and where power would be sold and under what terms), risk management (identifying and planning for financial, operational, regulatory, and market risks), resource balancing (evaluating how generation and load obligations are balanced over time), and development of a pro forma financial model (projected revenues, costs, financing, and cash flows). In addition, the funding supports evaluation and planning for hydro plant operations and maintenance, which typically includes reviewing operational practices, staffing and contractor needs, maintenance schedules, lifecycle replacement planning, reliability considerations, and associated cost estimates.
The notice also provides background that the project had previously been competitively announced in the Federal Register on December 19, 2001, but the 2012 posting reflects a single-source award approach for the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes. Key timeline details include a posted date of August 27, 2012 (creation date August 26, 2012), with an original and current closing date of August 31, 2012, and an archive date of September 7, 2012. The CFDA listing associated with the opportunity is 15.038, described as Minerals and Mining on Indian Lands. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact is Leo Moomaw, Contracting Officer at BIA, reachable by phone at 703-390-6408.
