Opportunity Summary:
The Padre Dam Water Recycling Facility Expansion Project, Cottonwood Diversion Structure and Pipeline Replacement Project is a federal funding opportunity administered by the Bureau of Reclamation (Lower Colorado Region) under the Title XVI Water Reclamation and Reuse Program (CFDA 15.504). The award is offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to remain actively involved in the project during the period of performance rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The stated purpose of this particular agreement is to support the design and construction of the Cottonwood Diversion Structure and Pipeline Replacement Project, which is identified as a component of the broader Padre Dam Water Recycling Facility Expansion effort. In practical terms, the funding is aimed at advancing water reuse-related infrastructure by modernizing or replacing key diversion and conveyance elements tied to the expansion project.
This opportunity is categorized as mandatory and falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category. The government anticipated making one award in total, indicating a single, project-specific agreement rather than a competitive pool of many smaller awards. The estimated total funding is listed at $226,000, with an award ceiling of $226,000 and an award floor of $200,000, so the expected federal share would land within that relatively narrow range. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the recipient would be expected to contribute non-federal funds or other allowable match toward the overall project cost, consistent with program rules for Title XVI projects. Because it is a cooperative agreement, the recipient should also expect ongoing coordination with Bureau of Reclamation staff on deliverables, schedules, reporting, and possibly technical reviews or approvals associated with design and construction milestones.
Eligibility is limited to special district governments, which commonly includes entities such as water districts, irrigation districts, or similar local special-purpose governments that manage water infrastructure. The posting date and creation date were both July 17, 2009. The original and current closing date was July 31, 2009, and the opportunity was archived on August 30, 2009, indicating it was a time-limited solicitation that is no longer open. The funding opportunity number is 09SF350259, and the full title is Padre Dam Water Recycling Facility Expansion Project, Cottonwood Diversion Structure and Pipeline Replacement Project, which can be used to reference the announcement in agency records.
For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Dennis Wolfe, Area Engineer, reachable by phone at 951-695-5310. This contact information suggests the Bureau of Reclamation expected technical or access-related questions and provided a direct engineering point of contact, which is common for infrastructure-focused cooperative agreements where project scope, design standards, and construction coordination matter.
