Opportunity Summary:
The Lake Tahoe Regional Development Program (Funding Opportunity Number R10AF20021) was a discretionary federal funding opportunity released by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Mid-Pacific Region, under CFDA 15.517 (Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act). The purpose of the program was to provide financial assistance through grants or cooperative agreements for projects that help repair and improve environmental conditions in Lake Tahoe and its surrounding watershed. The underlying goal was to address the long-term impacts of past environmental degradation by funding work that supports progress toward the environmental thresholds established by the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) through its Environmental Improvement Program (EIP). In practical terms, this means the funding was intended for activities that contribute to measurable environmental outcomes tied to TRPA threshold categories, such as water quality, habitat restoration, watershed function, and related ecosystem improvements.
The Bureau of Reclamation anticipated making about four awards, with an award ceiling of $400,000 per award. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which lowers the financial barrier for applicants and can make participation feasible for smaller entities or organizations with limited non-federal funding. Eligibility was listed as "unrestricted," meaning a wide range of applicant types could potentially apply (for example, governments, nonprofits, tribes, academic institutions, or other organizations), subject to any additional eligibility details that may have been included in the full announcement.
The period of performance for funded projects was set at five years or less from the date the agreement was issued. The announcement was posted on May 10, 2010, and proposals were due on or about June 7, 2010, with the opportunity later archived on July 7, 2010. The solicitation was managed electronically, and no paper copies were distributed.
A key administrative requirement was registration in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) system, which was mandatory before an award could be made. Applicants that were not registered in CCR would be considered ineligible for award. Questions about the solicitation were directed to the listed grants contact, Jeff (Sataporn) Palachat, Grants Officer, at spalachat@usbr.gov, with a phone contact of 916-978-5146 for assistance accessing the full announcement electronically.
