Opportunity Summary:
The Public Outreach and Bay Delta Awareness opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R15AN20031) is a discretionary grant action from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation. It is tied to CFDA 15.533 (California Water Security and Environmental Enhancement) and is authorized under the California Bay Delta Authorization Act and the CALFED Bay-Delta Authorization Act authorities cited in the notice. The intent is to issue a single grant agreement to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Conservancy, meaning it is structured as a targeted award to a specific state entity rather than an open call for applications.
The project focus is public education and outreach in and about the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, with an emphasis on helping residents, stakeholders, and decision-makers understand major Delta-related planning and resource issues. The notice describes outreach activities such as water tours and briefings designed to communicate several core topic areas: how large-scale Delta planning efforts are being implemented; how climate change is expected to affect the Delta specifically; how Safe Harbor Agreements can work for local entities; how key Delta restoration projects can be identified and coordinated; and how to reduce the impacts of flood events that may spread contaminants, especially through pre-flood preparedness and planning. In short, the grant supports translating complex Delta science, planning, and risk-management work into understandable, practical information delivered through organized public-facing programs.
Funding for the overall agreement is estimated at about $2.664 million (listed as $2,664,767.13 in the narrative and $2,664,768 in the source data). The Bureau of Reclamation indicated it would provide $962,593.18 in Fiscal Year 2015 toward that total. The award ceiling is the full estimated total and the award floor is $0, with no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated. The funding activity category is listed as Environment, and the opportunity anticipated one award.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, consistent with the intent to award directly to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Conservancy. The notice is explicit that this is a Notice of Intent to Award and not a request for competitive proposals. It also notes the government’s discretion to make a non-competitive award under the cited departmental manual authority. Key dates in the posting record show it was posted and created on August 12, 2015, with a closing date of August 26, 2015, and an archive date of August 27, 2015.
For questions, the point of contact is Megan Bryant, Grants Management Specialist at the Bureau of Reclamation, reachable by email at mbryant@usbr.gov, including for assistance accessing the full announcement materials electronically.
