Opportunity Summary:
The Long Term Groundwater Monitoring grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R10AP20088) is a continuation-style grant announced by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (BOR), Mid Pacific Region, under CFDA 15.517 (Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act) and the authority of Public Law 85-624. The agency states it intends to make a sole-source award to the Oregon Water Resources Department (OWRD), located at 725 Summer St. NE, Suite A, Salem, OR 97301. In practical terms, this means BOR is signaling its plan to fund a specific state agency partner rather than opening the funding up for broad competition.
The purpose of the funding is to support long-term groundwater and related surface-water monitoring work in the Upper Klamath Basin. The program’s main activities are threefold: first, ongoing monitoring of groundwater levels; second, monitoring streamflow in stream reaches where flow is heavily influenced or dominated by groundwater inputs; and third, ensuring the information collected meets quality standards and is made accessible to the public. The emphasis on both data quality and public availability suggests the project is meant to produce reliable, usable monitoring records that can support water management, environmental coordination, and public transparency.
The anticipated period of performance runs from the date of award through September 30, 2014, with an estimated award date around September 30, 2010. The estimated award amount is approximately $346,040 (the notice also lists an award ceiling of about $346,000). The opportunity indicates a cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute some portion of project costs through non-federal funds or in-kind support, consistent with the terms BOR sets for the award.
This announcement is explicitly described as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive (sole-source) financial assistance award. It is not a request for competitive proposals, and BOR notes that the decision not to compete the award is based on Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(2), and remains solely within the government’s discretion. The posting and closing timeline reflects that it was published on August 24, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 26, 2010, and an archive date of September 25, 2010, reinforcing that it functioned mainly as a public notice rather than an open application window for other entities.
Eligibility is listed broadly as state governments, but the stated intent is to fund OWRD specifically. Questions were directed to Jeff Palachat via email at spalachat@usbr.gov, with additional contact information indicating Sataporn Palachat as the grants officer and a phone number of (916) 978-5146 for assistance accessing the full announcement electronically.
