Opportunity Summary:
The Peach Springs Water Supply Project (Funding Opportunity Number R11SF30011) is a Bureau of Reclamation Lower Colorado Region discretionary grant intended to strengthen water reliability for the Tribal community of Peach Springs, Arizona by developing the Peach Springs water source as a secondary, backup supply. The community currently relies on the Truxton Wells system, which has documented reliability problems: it can fall short of meeting local demand and has sometimes been shut down because of water quality concerns and maintenance needs. The core purpose of the grant is to reduce the risk of water service interruptions by establishing a dependable alternative source that can be used during shortages and also during normal conditions to ease pressure on the existing system.
The project scope is practical, infrastructure-focused work to make the Peach Springs source usable and dependable. Planned improvements include upgrading the existing submersible pump, replacing a damaged pipeline that conveys water from the source to the community, and installing a 10,000-gallon water storage tank. Together, these upgrades are meant to improve both the immediate ability to deliver water and the operational resilience of the overall system, especially when the primary supply is offline or constrained.
Beyond basic domestic water reliability, the project is framed as supporting several broader community and resource needs. The additional supply would be available for fire suppression, dust abatement, and for watering cattle and wildlife, which can be significant community and public safety considerations in the region. The announcement emphasizes that the secondary supply is not only a contingency resource for emergencies or shortages, but also a tool to manage day-to-day demand more effectively by relieving stress on the Truxton Wells system.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity is listed under CFDA 15.519 (Indian Tribal Water Resources Development, Management, and Protection) and uses a grant funding instrument. The estimated total funding is $60,000, with an award ceiling of $60,000 and no cost sharing or matching requirement. Only one award is expected. Importantly, the notice states it is a Notice of Intent and that no competition is being sought, meaning the agency is indicating an intent to make a non-competitive award to an eligible recipient rather than running an open competitive solicitation.
The posting and timeline information reflects that this was a time-limited opportunity: it was posted and created on Aug 28, 2011, had an original and current closing date of Sep 11, 2011, and an archive date of Sep 12, 2011. For questions or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Shawna Thompson, Grants Specialist, at 702-293-8570 or smthompson@usbr.gov.
