Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Reclamation, Mid-Pacific Region, announced a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Monitoring Chinook Salmon Escapement in the Upper Sacramento River Basin" (Funding Opportunity Number R11AS20014). The agency stated its intent to make a single cooperative agreement award to the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC) under CFDA 15.512, which falls under the Central Valley Project Improvement Act (Public Law 102-575), specifically the authorities in Sections 3406(b)(16) and 3407(e). The work is framed as part of Reclamation's broader responsibility to gather baseline environmental information needed to support the ongoing and future operation of the Central Valley Project, a major federal water system whose management decisions can affect river conditions and fish populations.
The core objective of the proposed project is continued monitoring of "escapement," meaning the number and distribution of adult Chinook salmon that return from the ocean and successfully reach spawning areas, in the Upper Sacramento River Basin. The focus is on two runs of particular management concern: winter-run and spring-run Chinook salmon. By tracking annual abundance and distribution, the project is intended to provide consistent, year-to-year data that can be used to evaluate trends, inform operational planning, and support fisheries and habitat management decisions tied to Central Valley Project actions.
Financially, the notice cites an estimated total agreement amount of $2,743,347.00, with an award ceiling listed as $395,102 and an award floor of $0. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the federal agency anticipates substantial involvement in the project compared with a standard grant. A cost sharing or matching requirement is also indicated, meaning some portion of the project cost is expected to be borne by the recipient or non-federal sources, though the notice does not specify the exact match percentage or structure in the summary text provided.
Although the listing includes a broad set of eligible applicant types (including state, local, tribal, special district governments, and even individuals), the eligibility information makes clear that this posting is a Notice of Intent to Award specifically to PSMFC. In other words, it is not being offered as an open competition. The announcement explicitly states that it is not a request for competitive proposals, and it references the Departmental Manual (505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(1) and (4)) as the basis for the decision not to compete the award, emphasizing that the choice to proceed without competition is solely at the government's discretion.
Key dates included: the opportunity was posted and created on April 27, 2011, had an original and current closing date of May 11, 2011, and was archived on May 12, 2011. For questions, the point of contact listed is Judy A. Hudson, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by email at jhudson@usbr.gov and by phone at 916-978-5058, with a note to contact her if there are issues accessing the full announcement electronically.
