Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Mobilization of Pumps and Use of Operators and Trainers at the Mni Wiconi Project - Emergency Flood Control" (Funding Opportunity Number R11SS60008) is a Bureau of Reclamation, Great Plains Region notice describing an intended emergency cooperative agreement award. The purpose is to support urgent flood control actions at the Mni Wiconi Project by paying for the mobilization of pumps and the use of qualified operators and trainers. In practical terms, the work centers on getting pumping equipment on site quickly, running it effectively during flood conditions, and ensuring personnel are properly trained to operate the equipment safely and correctly in an emergency setting.
This announcement is specifically framed as a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not presented as a typical competitive open solicitation. Instead, it signals the agency's plan to make an emergency agreement with the Garrison Diversion Conservancy Unit to carry out the described flood control support activities. The funding instrument listed is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates the agency expects to have substantial involvement or coordination in the project compared with a standard grant, often because of the operational, time-sensitive, or technical nature of the work.
The opportunity is categorized under discretionary funding and falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category. It references CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number 15.522, which corresponds to the Mni Wiconi Rural Water Supply Project, tying the emergency flood control work to the broader federal program associated with that project area and its infrastructure.
Funding is relatively small and tightly defined: the estimated total funding amount is $27,680, with an award ceiling of $27,680 and an award floor of $0. The Bureau of Reclamation anticipated making one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is listed as "Unrestricted," meaning the announcement does not, on its face, limit applicants to a narrow class of organizations. However, it adds an important condition in the eligibility information: eligible applicants are appropriate non-federal entities with concurrence of the Oglala Sioux Tribal Council. That qualifier implies that, regardless of general eligibility wording, participation is effectively conditioned on suitability for the emergency work and on tribal council concurrence, which is consistent with the local and tribal interests involved in the Mni Wiconi project area and emergency flood response activities.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on June 6, 2011, with an original and current closing date of June 20, 2011, and an archive date of June 21, 2011. Those dates reflect a short turnaround consistent with an emergency action requirement rather than a lengthy competitive program cycle.
