Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity, titled "On Project Water Planning" (Funding Opportunity Number R10AS20034), is a Bureau of Reclamation (Mid-Pacific Region) notice of intent to award a single cooperative agreement to the Klamath Water and Power Agency (KWAPA). The estimated award amount is $2,500,000, with an award ceiling of $2,500,000 and no stated minimum (award floor $0). The funding is being provided under CFDA 15.517, tied to the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.), along with related Department of the Interior delegated authority (255 DM 14) and the Klamath Basin Water Supply Enhancement Act (Public Law 106-498). The activity category is described broadly as "Water Supply," and the eligible applicant type listed is "Special district governments," though the intent here is specifically to fund KWAPA rather than solicit open applications.
The main purpose of the cooperative agreement is to support planning work that better aligns water supply and water demand in the "On Project Plan Area." In practical terms, the project focuses on areas that depend partly or entirely on water diverted from the Settlement Points of Diversion, while explicitly excluding most of the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge except for Area K lands. The planning effort is meant to be consistent with diversion limitations laid out in the Klamath Basin Restoration Agreement, meaning the work is framed around meeting water needs and managing water use within established constraints intended to balance agricultural demands, refuge needs, and broader fish and wildlife considerations.
A key detail is that this announcement is not a competitive grant solicitation. It is a notice stating the government plans to make a non-competitive award, and it references internal policy authority (Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(2) and (4)) supporting the decision not to compete the assistance. The determination to proceed without competition is described as being solely at the government’s discretion. In other words, this posting functions more like a public transparency notice about an intended award than an invitation for other entities to apply.
Administrative details show the announcement was posted and created on August 29, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 14, 2010, and an archive date of September 15, 2010. The expected number of awards is one, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. For questions, the notice directs inquiries to Mary Sims (Grants Officer/Contract Specialist) at the Bureau of Reclamation via email at msims@usbr.gov, and it notes she can also assist if someone has trouble accessing the full announcement electronically.
