Opportunity Summary:
The Interagency Ecological Study Program - Core Monitoring grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R10AS20006) is a Bureau of Reclamation (BOR), Mid-Pacific Region notice describing its intent to fund a single, specific recipient through a sole-source cooperative agreement. The planned recipient is the California Department of Fish and Game, and the purpose of the agreement is to support the development and maintenance of essential environmental and ecological information needed to guide the ongoing and future operation of the Central Valley Project as well as other Reclamation projects and operational decisions. In practical terms, this is an environmental monitoring-focused effort meant to produce core data and analyses that inform how large water infrastructure is managed in ways that affect habitats, fish and wildlife resources, and broader ecosystem conditions.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a cooperative agreement, which typically signals that the federal agency expects to be substantially involved during the project rather than simply issuing funds with minimal interaction. The activity category is Environment, and the associated CFDA program is 15.512, tied to the Central Valley Project Improvement Act (Title XXXIV). The announcement also notes that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or in-kind) alongside federal assistance.
Funding is presented as a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with a fixed estimated total funding amount of $9,209,000, and both the award ceiling and floor are listed as $9,209,000, indicating there is no funding range and the intended award amount is set. The estimated award date is on or before January 31, 2010, and the period of performance runs from the date of award through December 31, 2014, establishing a multi-year monitoring timeline intended to support sustained data collection and reporting over several years.
A key point in the notice is that it is not a solicitation for competition. BOR explicitly states that this is a notice of intent and "NOT a request for competitive proposals." The decision not to compete the financial assistance is described as being based on Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B), and the determination to proceed without competition is stated to be solely within the Government's discretion. Eligible applicants are listed as state governments, but the structure and language make clear the agency is proceeding with a sole-source award to the named state entity rather than opening the opportunity to broader applicants.
The posting and administrative dates show the notice was posted and created on December 1, 2009, with an original and current closing date of December 15, 2009, and an archive date of December 16, 2009. For questions or issues accessing the announcement, the point of contact is Maria E. Castaneda, Grants Officer, Bureau of Reclamation (phone 916-978-5148; email mcastaneda@usbr.gov).
