Opportunity Summary:
The Power Network Interconnection Assistance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R10AS20035) is a federal financial assistance action from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Mid-Pacific Region. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning Reclamation expects to have an active role in supporting or coordinating the work rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant with minimal federal involvement. The purpose of the award is to fund development of a comprehensive power and energy supply plan along with a network interconnection plan for the Klamath Reclamation Project. In practical terms, the work is aimed at mapping out how the Project will reliably obtain power, how energy resources might be organized or optimized, and how the Project would connect or interface with the broader electrical network so that power delivery is feasible, stable, and coordinated.
This funding is specifically tied to statutory authorities including CFDA 15.517 under the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.), as amended, along with the Klamath Basin Water Supply Enhancement Act (Public Law 106-498). The notice also references internal Department of the Interior delegation and policy provisions (including 255 DM 14 and 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(2) and (4)) that support issuing this assistance without competition. A key point is that this posting is a Notice of Intent to Award and explicitly states it is not a request for competitive proposals. In other words, the Bureau of Reclamation is announcing its plan to make a single targeted award, and the decision not to compete the funding is reserved to the government’s discretion under the cited departmental guidance.
The intended recipient is the Klamath Water and Power Agency (KWAPA), and the eligible applicant category is listed as special district governments. The opportunity anticipates one award with an estimated total funding amount of $250,000, which is also the award ceiling, while the award floor is listed as $0. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated, so the recipient is not expected to provide a mandatory non-federal match as a condition of the award. The activity is categorized under “Other,” with the clarification that it relates to power and energy supply.
The timeline provided shows 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. Even though it includes a closing date, this functions more as an administrative window for the notice rather than an open competitive solicitation, since Reclamation is signaling a direct cooperative agreement with KWAPA rather than inviting proposals from multiple applicants.
For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the point of contact is Mary Sims, identified as the Grants Officer/Contract Specialist, reachable by email at msims@usbr.gov.
