Opportunity Summary:
The North Bay Water Reuse Program Phase 2 Scoping Studies opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R11AS20022) is a federal financial assistance action from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Mid-Pacific Region. It is being issued under CFDA 15.504, the Title XVI Water Reclamation and Reuse Program, and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The activity falls within the environment funding category and is intended to support scoping-level work for a water reuse effort in California's North Bay area.
This announcement is a Notice of Intent to Award, not a competitive grant solicitation. Reclamation states it intends to make a single award (Expected Awards: 1) specifically to the Sonoma County Water Agency for the Phase 2 scoping studies. The government also notes that its decision not to compete the assistance is authorized under Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(2) and (4), and that choosing not to run a competition is entirely at the government's discretion. Because of that, the notice is not asking other applicants to submit proposals.
The total anticipated federal funding is $131,300, with both the award ceiling and award floor set at $131,300, meaning the planned award amount is fixed at that level. The opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, consistent with many Title XVI program awards, although the specific match details would typically be spelled out in the underlying award documents or referenced materials.
In terms of eligibility, Title XVI recipients are generally limited to entities identified under the 1902 Act and include state, regional, or local authorities; Indian Tribes or tribal organizations; and other qualifying entities such as water conservation or conservancy districts, wastewater districts, and rural water districts located in the 17 Western States or Hawaii. Even though that broader eligibility framework is described, this specific posting clarifies that it is a notice of intent to award to the Sonoma County Water Agency rather than an open call.
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on August 1, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 14, 2011, and an archive date of August 15, 2011. Anyone needing clarification is directed to contact the listed grants officer, Maria E. Castaneda, at mcastaneda@usbr.gov (phone 916-978-5148), and the announcement notes that the referenced Notice of Intent to Award (R11AS20022) contains additional details.
