Opportunity Summary:
The "On Project Water Plan" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R12AS20021) is a Bureau of Reclamation, Mid-Pacific Region notice describing the agency's intent to modify an existing cooperative agreement to support development of an On Project Plan (OPP) for the Klamath Project area. Rather than opening a new, competitive grant competition, Reclamation is signaling that it plans to issue a noncompetitive modification (identified in the notice as Modification 003) to an already-established cooperative agreement (R10AC20114, CFDA 15.517, Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act) with the Klamath Water and Power Agency (KWAPA). In practical terms, this is an administrative action to add or adjust funding and scope under an existing award so that required work under the Klamath Basin Restoration Agreement (KBRA) can move forward.
The core purpose of the funded work is the development of an On Project Plan focused on the reliability and long-term sustainability of water supplies for the Project. The plan is meant to do more than describe problems; it is intended to identify specific tools, actions, and potential mitigation measures that could be considered by Project managers and by KBRA-identified management entities and stakeholders. In other words, the deliverable is a planning product designed to guide decision-making around water management challenges in the Klamath Basin, including options to improve how water is supplied and managed over time.
Reclamation explains that staff from the Klamath Basin Area Office are seeking to execute this modification in order to fund Reclamation's obligations under KBRA Section 15, which involves providing assistance to KWAPA related to the OPP effort. The notice also clarifies that the existing agreement is intended to cover development of the OPP and the elements identified in the final plan for implementation, indicating that the modified funding is tied directly to planning and follow-on components that emerge from the finalized plan.
Administratively, this opportunity is categorized as discretionary financial assistance using a cooperative agreement instrument, with an activity focus in natural resources. Although the listing includes a broad set of eligible applicant types (including state and local governments, tribes, special districts, individuals, nonprofits and for-profits), the eligibility language makes clear this particular posting is a Notice of Intent to award a modification to KWAPA specifically, not an open call for applications. The agency also cites Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(4) as the basis for making a determination not to compete the assistance action, emphasizing that the decision to proceed noncompetitively is at the government's discretion and that the notice is not a request for proposals.
Funding details in the announcement show an estimated total funding amount of $4,000,000, with an award ceiling of $1,500,000 and an award floor of $0, and the agency anticipated making one award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated. The opportunity was posted May 18, 2012, with a closing date of June 1, 2012, and it was archived June 4, 2012, reflecting that it was time-bound and has since closed. The notice also notes that Central Contractor Registration (CCR) requirements apply (a predecessor to current SAM registration processes), and it provides a point of contact for questions: Judy A. Hudson, Grants Management Specialist, at jhudson@usbr.gov.
