Opportunity Summary:
The North Grasslands Water Conservation and Water Quality Control Project is a federal financial assistance opportunity announced by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (BOR), Mid-Pacific Region. It is structured as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.512, which falls under the Central Valley Project Improvement Act (CVPIA), Public Law 102-575, specifically Section 3406(d)(1), (2), and (5). The core purpose is to support a cooperative effort with the Grasslands Water District (GWD) to develop additional water supplies that can be delivered through the CVPIA Refuge Water Supply Program, which is aimed at improving water supply reliability and related environmental outcomes for federal wildlife refuges in California's Central Valley.
This notice is not a competitive grant solicitation. Instead, BOR is signaling its intent to award the cooperative agreement directly to the Grasslands Water District, and it explicitly states that the decision not to compete the award is at the government’s discretion under Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(1) and (4). Because it is a notice of intent rather than a request for proposals, other entities are not being invited to submit competing applications. The eligible applicant type listed is special district governments, aligning with the intended recipient being a water district.
Funding for this opportunity is fixed and relatively large for a single award. The posting indicates an expected single award with an estimated total funding amount of $6,746,081. The award ceiling and award floor are both listed as $6,746,081, which effectively means BOR anticipated one award at that exact amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement specified, so the recipient would not be required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on August 2, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 16, 2010, and an archive date of August 17, 2010. The funding opportunity number is R10AS20110. The activity category is listed as Environment, reflecting the project’s connection to water conservation and water quality control, particularly as they relate to refuge water supply deliveries and broader CVPIA environmental restoration and protection goals.
The announcement also notes that Central Contractor Registration (CCR) requirements apply, meaning the participating entity needed to maintain the appropriate federal registration status (CCR was the predecessor to what is now handled through SAM.gov). For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the point of contact provided is Vivian Davis, Contract Specialist, reachable by email at vdavis@usbr.gov or by phone at 916-978-5543.
