Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R10AS20004) is a Bureau of Reclamation (BOR), Mid-Pacific Region notice of intent to make a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement award to the Lower San Joaquin Levee District in Dos Palos, California. The purpose is to fund interim flow-related operation and maintenance activities for Water Year 2010 associated with the Lower San Joaquin River Flood Control Project. In practical terms, the funding is meant to support the ongoing upkeep and operational work needed to manage and maintain the flood control infrastructure in that stretch of the river system during the specified period.
A key point is that this is explicitly a sole-source action rather than an open, competitive grant. BOR states it plans to award directly to the Lower San Joaquin Levee District under the authority of Public Law 111-11 (Omnibus Public Lands Bill), Title X, Subtitle A, Section 10004(b)(2), and cites internal justification for not competing the assistance based on Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(4), described as a "Unique Qualification" rationale. The notice emphasizes that the decision not to compete is at the government’s discretion and that the announcement is not a request for proposals, meaning other entities were not being invited to apply for this particular funding action.
The award amount is fixed, with both the ceiling and floor listed as $184,840, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The expected award date was on or about November 30, 2009, and the period of performance runs from the date of award through September 30, 2010, aligning with Water Year 2010 interim operational needs. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary, uses a cooperative agreement instrument (indicating expected substantial federal involvement or coordination during performance), and is associated with natural resources activities. Eligible applicants are listed as special district governments, consistent with the intended recipient being a levee district.
For timing and administrative details, the opportunity was posted and created on October 28, 2009, with an original and current closing date of November 12, 2009, and an archive date of December 12, 2009. Questions were directed to Jeff (Sataporn) Palachat at spalachat@usbr.gov, with a listed phone contact of 916-978-5146 for assistance accessing the full announcement electronically.
