Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Lower Colorado River" (Funding Opportunity Number BOR LC 16 003), is a continuation award offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (DOI-BOR). It supports natural resources work under CFDA 15.538 and is structured as a grant with a single anticipated award. The maximum award amount is $300,000, and the application deadline listed for the opportunity was March 16, 2016 (original and current closing date both shown as March 16, 2016), with the notice created and posted on March 3, 2016.
The core work involves analyzing acoustic monitoring data that Reclamation will collect from a network of field acoustic stations along the Lower Colorado River. Reclamation is responsible for operating the stations and delivering the resulting source data to the selected recipient/contractor for processing and interpretation. The recipient is expected to use Titley Analook software and, specifically, the Analook filters supplied by Reclamation to process and analyze recordings from every station included in each project year. If the recipient wants to apply additional analytical approaches beyond the provided Analook filters, those methods are allowable only if Reclamation approves them.
The data volume is expected to scale up over the multi-year period referenced in the description (2015 through 2018). In 2015, data came from nine stations, and the opportunity anticipates expansion by adding one new station each year: 10 stations in 2016, 11 in 2017, and 12 in 2018. The recipient should plan for intensive seasonal analysis, because the recordings to be reviewed are described as nightly collections from June 1 through August 31 of each year of the contract period. This implies a consistent, high-frequency workload during summer months each year, covering all stations that successfully collected data in that year.
The announcement also notes a practical risk factor: the dataset may be smaller than expected in any given year due to potential equipment problems or station malfunctions that cause data loss. In other words, while the plan is to analyze nightly call data across an expanding station network each summer season, the final quantity of analyzable data is contingent on station performance and data integrity.
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others" with additional details indicated as being provided elsewhere in the full solicitation (in an "Additional Information on Eligibility" field). Overall, the opportunity is focused on turning raw acoustic station recordings into usable analytical results using standardized software tools and filters provided by Reclamation, with room for enhanced methods if they are cleared in advance.
