Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2015 "Klamath River Restoration Coho Salmon and its Critical Habitat Request for Proposals" is a discretionary grant opportunity announced by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), Mid-Pacific Region. It is tied to CFDA 15.517 under the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act of 1934 (16 U.S.C. 661 et seq., as amended), with additional Bureau authority cited at 255 DM 1.1B. In practical terms, the program is framed as a habitat and species restoration effort focused on the Klamath River Basin, specifically aimed at addressing fish and wildlife impacts associated with the operation of Reclamation's Klamath Project and supporting recovery-related work for the Southern Oregon/Northern California Coast (SONCC) coho salmon and the species critical habitat.
The announcement indicates a single, fixed amount of funding for this action: an estimated total award of $3,000,000 in federal funding, with Reclamation providing the full $3,000,000 during Fiscal Year 2015. The posted award ceiling and floor are both $3,000,000, which signals that the agency anticipated one award at one set funding level rather than a range of potential award sizes. The listing also notes that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants would not be required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
The core purpose is habitat improvement and restoration within the Klamath River Basin in ways that minimize adverse effects linked to Klamath Project operations and that directly support restoration activities benefiting SONCC coho salmon and its designated critical habitat. While the short synopsis does not list specific project types, the emphasis on "improvement of fish and wildlife habitat" and "restoration activities" typically points to on-the-ground actions and associated planning, implementation, or coordination efforts that measurably improve habitat conditions for the target species and broader ecosystem needs in the basin.
Even though the opportunity is labeled as a "Request for Proposals," the text makes clear that this particular posting functions as a notice of intent rather than a standard competitive grant competition. It explicitly states that it is NOT a request for competitive proposals and references the government's discretion to not compete the financial assistance action under Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(2) and (4). It also points readers to a Notice of Intent (NOI) to award under announcement number R14AS00074 for additional context, implying the agency had a particular award pathway in mind rather than an open, scored competition among multiple applicants.
From an administrative standpoint, the funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is Natural Resources. The opportunity was posted on September 17, 2014, with an original and current closing date of October 17, 2014, and an archive date of November 16, 2014. The expected number of awards is listed as 1. Eligibility is described as "unrestricted" (open to any type of entity), with the caveat that any additional eligibility clarifications would be contained in the full announcement text; however, given the non-competitive framing in the description, the practical eligibility for this specific action may have been shaped by the intent-to-award context.
The announcement also highlights standard federal award requirements related to the System for Award Management (SAM), meaning entities would need to maintain SAM registration consistent with federal assistance rules. For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the point of contact is Judy A. Hudson, Grants Management Specialist at the Bureau of Reclamation, reachable by email at jhudson@usbr.gov, with the listing repeating her name and role in the contact section.
