Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Reclamation announced a notice of intent to award a single discretionary grant for the Irrigation Water Delivery and Efficiency Project (Funding Opportunity Number R15AN20024) under CFDA 15.519, Indian Tribal Water Resources Development, Management, and Protection. The planned recipient is the Fallon Paiute Shoshone Tribe, and the estimated total award amount is $100,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The funding activity area is Natural Resources, and the primary location for the work is the Fallon Paiute Shoshone Tribe Reservation.
The purpose of the project is to take a close, data-driven look at how well the Tribe's irrigation water delivery system is working and where it can be improved. The work is focused on evaluating the effectiveness and efficiency of the existing irrigation delivery infrastructure and operations. That includes analyzing irrigation water delivery operations data, then producing reports that lay out findings on system performance, identify efficiency rates, and propose structural design concepts or improvements that could increase overall delivery efficiency. In practical terms, the grant supports technical assessment and planning work meant to guide upgrades or operational changes that make the irrigation system function better and waste less water.

It is explicitly described as a notice of intent to award rather than a request for proposals, and the government indicates that its decision not to compete the award is made under Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(4), which is within the government's discretion.
