Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Pilot Production Wells Investigation, San Diego Water Reclamation Project" (Funding Opportunity Number R10SF35276) is a discretionary federal grant action administered as a cooperative agreement by the Bureau of Reclamation, Lower Colorado Region, under the Title XVI Water Reclamation and Reuse Program (CFDA 15.504). The announcement functions as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive award specifically to the City of San Diego to support work related to investigating pilot production wells as part of the broader San Diego Water Reclamation Project. Because it is labeled noncompetitive, the agency is signaling that it plans to fund a particular recipient for a defined scope of work rather than opening the project up for general competition among multiple applicants.
The purpose of the effort is centered on pilot production wells investigation, which typically involves field and technical activities needed to evaluate groundwater or recycled-water-related production well concepts before full-scale implementation. In practice, this kind of investigation often includes exploratory planning, test well siting considerations, drilling or reconditioning-related evaluation steps, pumping tests, water quality sampling, and analysis of aquifer response and operational feasibility. The overall intent is generally to reduce uncertainty and inform design and operational decisions for future water supply, reuse, and reclamation infrastructure, aligning with Title XVI program goals that emphasize water reuse, water recycling, and improved water reliability in arid and semi-arid regions.
The opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources and uses the cooperative agreement instrument, which usually means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period. That involvement can include technical coordination, review of deliverables, participation in project meetings, and oversight or collaboration on study methods and reporting, rather than simply issuing funds and receiving a final report at the end. The listing indicates there is an expected single award (Expected Awards: 1), reinforcing that the action is targeted and project-specific.
Funding details in the notice show an estimated total funding level of $100,000, with an award floor of $100,000 and an award ceiling of $500,000. This suggests the immediate planned award amount is at least $100,000, while also indicating the agency may have structured the notice to allow for a larger potential federal share depending on final scope, amendments, or availability of appropriations. The announcement also states there is a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the City of San Diego would be expected to contribute non-federal funds or eligible in-kind contributions toward the total project cost in accordance with Title XVI program rules and the specific terms negotiated in the cooperative agreement.
Eligibility is limited to city or township governments, and the identified recipient is the City of San Diego. Key dates indicate the notice was posted and created on September 13, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 27, 2010, and an archive date of October 27, 2010. These dates reflect the administrative window for the notice rather than a typical competitive application period, consistent with the noncompetitive intent.
For access issues or additional information, the contact listed is Dennis Wolfe, Area Engineer, reachable by phone at 951-695-5310.
