Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "North City Water Reclamation Plant Electrodialysis Reversal Equipment No. 6" (Funding Opportunity Number 09SF350260) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity administered by the Bureau of Reclamation, Lower Colorado Region, under CFDA 15.504, the Title XVI Water Reclamation and Reuse Program. The purpose of the award is narrowly defined and project-specific: it supports the activities needed to design, procure, and install one additional Electrodialysis Reversal (EDR) unit at the North City Water Reclamation Plant in San Diego County, California. In practical terms, the funding is aimed at expanding or enhancing the plant's treatment capacity or operational capability through the addition of a specific piece of advanced water treatment equipment rather than supporting broad planning, research, or general operating costs.
The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which usually signals that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply issuing funds and receiving final reports. In this context, that typically means the Bureau of Reclamation may participate in technical oversight, review of designs and procurement steps, approval of key deliverables, or coordination around compliance and reporting. The activity category is listed as Natural Resources, aligning the project with water reuse, conservation, and resource management goals that are commonly supported through Title XVI authorities.
Financially, the opportunity is straightforward: the estimated total funding is $50,000, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $50,000, indicating the agency anticipated making a single fixed-size award rather than a range of possible amounts. The opportunity expected one award in total. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the recipient would be required to contribute non-federal funds or allowable in-kind contributions at whatever ratio or structure the program and agreement specify. Because the announcement data provided does not include the match percentage, applicants would normally need to confirm the required share in the full notice or through the program contact, but the key point is that federal dollars were not intended to cover 100% of the project cost.
Eligibility is limited to city or township governments, which fits the nature of the project being tied to a municipal water reclamation facility. This suggests the intended applicant would be the local government entity responsible for the plant, or another qualifying local governmental body with legal authority over the project and the ability to meet matching and administrative requirements. The narrow eligibility also reflects that the project is site-specific to San Diego County and likely designed to support a particular municipal water reuse or reclamation effort rather than a competitive national pool of varied applicants.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on August 27, 2009, with an original and current closing date of September 10, 2009, indicating a short application window. The archive date is October 10, 2009, meaning it was formally closed and subsequently archived shortly after the deadline. The short turnaround is consistent with a targeted cooperative agreement where the agency may already have a defined partner and scope in mind, even though it is still presented as a grant opportunity with a posted deadline.
For applicants or stakeholders needing more information or assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Dennis Wolfe, Area Engineer, at (951) 695-5310. The notice specifically mentions contacting him if there are difficulties accessing the announcement electronically, which implies additional technical details, conditions, or submission requirements were contained in the full posting beyond the summary fields provided here.
