Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Reclamation's Mid-Pacific Region announced a Notice of Intent to award a single grant agreement under its WaterSMART program (CFDA 15.507) for a project titled "Integrated Regional Water Plan for the Central Valley of California" (Funding Opportunity Number R10AS20010). The planned recipient is the California State University, Fresno Foundation, and the project sits in the Natural Resources activity category. The central goal of the agreement is to broaden participation across the San Joaquin Valley by bringing as many local areas and stakeholders as possible into an Integrated Regional Water Management Planning (IRWMP) process. In practical terms, the grant is meant to support coordination and planning work that helps the region develop a more unified, multi-jurisdiction approach to water management in the Central Valley, rather than treating water planning as a set of isolated local efforts.
This opportunity is not structured as a typical competitive grant solicitation. The notice explicitly states that it is not a request for competitive proposals, and it references an internal authority (Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(3)) that allows the government to determine, at its discretion, not to compete the financial assistance action. In other words, the announcement is primarily a public notification that Reclamation intends to make a directed award to the named institution, with additional context available in the NOI to Award posting.
The funding profile reflects a one-time, single-award grant with an expected total funding amount of $1,000,000. The listed award ceiling is $1,000,000 and the award floor is $250,000, and the announcement indicates no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted and created on March 15, 2010, with an original and current closing date of March 29, 2010, and an archive date of March 30, 2010. Eligible applicants are identified as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, consistent with the intent to award to a university-affiliated foundation.
Administrative requirements noted in the announcement include Central Contractor Registration (CCR), which at the time was the federal registration system used for entities seeking to receive federal awards (accessible via the listed website). For questions or access issues related to the full announcement, the point of contact is Maria E. Castaneda, Grants Officer with the Bureau of Reclamation, reachable by email at mcastaneda@usbr.gov or by phone at 916-978-5148.
