Opportunity Summary:
The "Program to Provide Water to Pyramid Lake (NV)" is a Bureau of Reclamation (Mid-Pacific Region) discretionary grant opportunity centered on increasing water inflows to Pyramid Lake in Nevada, a natural desert terminal lake that is considered at risk. The agency states it intends to issue a grant agreement specifically to the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe to carry out a program designed to improve the amount of water reaching the lake. The total expected funding is listed at $17,200,000, with an award ceiling of $17,200,000 and an award floor of $0, and the opportunity anticipates a single award.
The grant is issued under CFDA 15.508, "Providing Water to At-Risk Natural Desert Terminal Lakes," and cites its legal authorities as Public Law 107-171 (the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002, commonly called the Farm Bill, enacted May 13, 2002, with later amendments in 2008 and 2009) and Public Law 108-7 (the Omnibus Appropriations Bill enacted February 20, 2003). In practical terms, these authorities are used to justify federal financial assistance aimed at protecting and restoring water levels and related environmental conditions in terminal lake systems in arid regions.
Although the listing includes a broad set of potential eligible applicant types (including state and local governments, federally recognized tribal governments, certain tribal organizations, special district governments, and even individuals), this particular posting is a Notice of Intent to Award and is explicitly not a competitive solicitation. The agency notes that a decision not to compete the award is based on Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(4), and emphasizes that the decision to proceed in this non-competitive manner is solely within the government's discretion. Because of that, the notice is not requesting proposals from other entities, and the typical competitive application process does not apply here.
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on March 22, 2011, with an original and current closing date of March 29, 2011, and an archive date of March 30, 2011.
