Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Recreation Facility Upgrades and Quagga Mussel Control Programs at Lake Casitas" (Funding Opportunity Number R11AS20024), is a Bureau of Reclamation (Mid-Pacific Region) notice of intent to make a single discretionary award through a cooperative agreement. The funding is being provided under CFDA 15.524, Recreation Resources Management, with an estimated total award amount of $205,000. The stated purpose is to support upgrades to recreation facilities at Lake Casitas and to fund prevention and control measures aimed at quagga mussels, an invasive species that can damage water infrastructure and disrupt recreational use.
The planned recipient is the Casitas Municipal Water District. This announcement is specifically a notice of intent to award rather than an open, competitive solicitation, meaning it is not asking other organizations to submit proposals. Reclamation notes that the decision not to compete the assistance is based on Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(4), and that this determination is entirely at the government’s discretion. The opportunity falls under the Natural Resources activity category and anticipates only one award.
The eligibility framework described for this type of assistance focuses on non-federal managing partners, such as state, county, or local government entities, that currently manage or will manage one or more Bureau of Reclamation project recreation areas. The listing indicates a cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources alongside the federal funding, although the exact match percentage and allowable sources would be detailed in the referenced notice or associated award documents.
Key administrative details include a posted and created date of August 25, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 7, 2011, and an archive date of September 8, 2011. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $205,000, which signals that Reclamation intended a fixed award amount rather than a range. For additional details, the announcement directs readers to the Notice of Intent to Award associated with R11AS20024 and provides a point of contact for questions: Maria E. Castaneda, Grants Officer, reachable by email at mcastaneda@usbr.gov or by phone at 916-978-5148.
