Opportunity Summary:
The Newlands Project Water Rights Mapping opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R13AS20028) is a Bureau of Reclamation, Mid Pacific Region grant notice describing Reclamation's intent to award a single discretionary grant to the State of Nevada, Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Division of Water Resources. The core purpose of the agreement is to complete water right mapping across the Newlands Project area in Nevada, a region where accurate, shared information about surface water rights is essential for day to day operations, compliance, and long term planning.
Grant funding is intended to support the production of detailed water right maps along with accompanying digital data files. In practical terms, this means converting water right information into standardized spatial products (maps and GIS-ready datasets) that can be consistently used by the many entities involved in managing, delivering, regulating, and protecting water supplies in and around the Newlands Project. The announcement specifically notes that these products will be used to improve surface water management by a broad set of stakeholders, including the Federal Watermaster, the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe, the Fallon Paiute Tribe, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Truckee Carson Irrigation District, the City of Fernley, the City of Fallon, Churchill County, and Lyon County. The emphasis is on shared, authoritative mapping that helps different jurisdictions and water managers work from the same set of spatially accurate records.
This notice is a Notice of Intent (NOI) to award and is not a competitive solicitation. In other words, it is not asking applicants to submit proposals for selection. Reclamation states it intends to make the award to the named Nevada state agency and also notes that the government may decide not to compete this financial assistance under Departmental Manual 505 DM 2 (4), which is described as a determination fully within the government’s discretion. While the listing includes a range of eligible applicant types (including federally recognized tribes, counties, cities, state governments, individuals, special district governments), the NOI language makes clear the planned recipient for this specific award action.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $2,356,057, with an award ceiling of $2,356,057 and no stated minimum (award floor of $0). The expected number of awards is one, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not expected to contribute a required non-federal share as a condition of the grant. The funding is associated with CFDA 15.508, "Providing Water to At Risk Natural Desert Terminal Lakes," placing it within an environmental and water management program context.
Key dates in the record show it was posted and created on June 20, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 5, 2013, and an archive date of July 6, 2013. The announcement also highlights that the System of Award Management (SAM) applies, so any entity involved in the award process must comply with SAM registration requirements (www.sam.gov). For questions or access issues, the listed point of contact is Vivian Davis, Grants Management Specialist, Bureau of Reclamation, reachable at vdavis@usbr.gov and 916-978-5543.
