Opportunity Summary:
The "Laguna Conceptual Restoration Design" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R09AC30003) is a Bureau of Reclamation, Lower Colorado Region cooperative agreement tied to the Lower Colorado River Multi-Species Conservation Program (LCR MSCP). The work focuses on the Laguna Division Conservation Area, which the LCR MSCP Steering Committee approved as a new start project. The main purpose is to develop a conceptual restoration design that emphasizes creating and expanding native riparian and marsh habitat types, which are key land cover categories for supporting sensitive wildlife and improving overall habitat quality along the lower Colorado River.
This announcement is not a typical open grant competition. It is explicitly a notice of intent to award, meaning the agency is signaling that it plans to make an award to a specific entity rather than soliciting proposals from the public. In this case, the firm Natural Channel Design had already been selected to prepare the conceptual design. The action described is a modification to an existing agreement (Agreement No. 09FC3000003, originally dated January 27, 2009). The modification period of performance is listed as February 26, 2010 through December 31, 2014, indicating the government is extending or otherwise adjusting the scope, schedule, or other terms of an ongoing relationship to complete the conceptual design effort.
From a programmatic standpoint, the project is framed as directly supporting the LCR MSCP mission: conserving species and contributing to recovery efforts for endangered species, while also protecting and maintaining wildlife habitat on the lower Colorado River. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, the assistance listing is CFDA 15.538 (Lower Colorado River Multi Species Conservation Program), and the award instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally implies substantial involvement by the federal agency during project implementation compared to a standard grant.
Administrative details in the notice show it was posted and created on March 8, 2011, with an original and current closing date of March 22, 2011, and an archive date of April 21, 2011. The opportunity anticipated a single award. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement. Funding amount fields are not specified in a typical way here (the estimated total funding is shown as "1" and the award ceiling and floor are both listed as 0), which is consistent with notices of intent to award where the posting is primarily informational rather than a solicitation with clearly defined competitive funding ranges.
For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Shawna Thompson, Grants Officer, at the Bureau of Reclamation (phone 702-293-8570; email smthompson@usbr.go).
