Opportunity Summary:
The Interagency Ecological Program Environmental Monitoring Program opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R10AC20018) is a continuation, sole-source cooperative agreement announced by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Mid Pacific Region) under CFDA 15.512, authorized by Public Law 102-575 (Central Valley Project Improvement Act), Title XXXIV, Section 3406. The intent is to provide ongoing federal financial assistance to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR), specifically its Division of Environmental Services in West Sacramento, California, to carry out required environmental and water-quality monitoring activities tied to Central Valley Project operations and related regulatory obligations.
The work supported by this agreement centers on three core deliverables. First, DWR is expected to conduct monthly mandated monitoring at 22 specific locations identified in Water Rights Decision 1641 (D-1641), a key California regulatory decision that sets water quality and flow-related requirements in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta system. Second, the program includes operating continuous, telemetered water-quality monitoring at nine fixed, stationary sites. This implies around-the-clock measurement with remote data transmission, supporting timely tracking of conditions and operational decision-making. Third, DWR is required to compile and present the resulting datasets in an annual report, creating a formal record of monitoring results and making the information usable for program management, compliance tracking, and interagency coordination.
The planned period of performance spans five years, from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2014, with an estimated award date on or about June 16, 2010. The estimated total award amount is $10,600,000, and the notice indicates that cost sharing or matching is required. Eligibility is limited to state governments, and in practical terms the award is directed to DWR as the sole intended recipient. The posting makes clear that the government is not seeking competitive proposals; it is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive (sole-source) continuation award. The Bureau of Reclamation cites Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(2), as the basis for not competing the assistance action, emphasizing that the decision to continue without competition is entirely at the government’s discretion.
Administrative details in the announcement show it was posted March 16, 2010, with a closing date of March 31, 2010, and an archive date of April 30, 2010. Questions are directed to the listed grants officer contact, Jeff (Sataporn) Palachat, reachable by email at spalachat@usbr.gov and by phone at 916-978-5146.
