Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Recreation Planning and Management Activities at Lahontan and Rye Patch Reservoirs" is a federal financial assistance action from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation. It was posted on August 31, 2015 under Funding Opportunity Number R15AN20038, and it uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The activity falls within the natural resources category and is tied to CFDA 15.524, listed as "Recreation Resources Management." The Bureau of Reclamation indicates an estimated total agreement amount of $900,000, with an award ceiling of $900,000 and an award floor of $0, and it anticipates making one award.
The purpose of the funding is straightforward: to continue providing Nevada State Parks (Nevada Division of State Parks) with federally authorized and appropriated support so the agency can keep managing recreation facilities and recreation-related lands at Lahontan Reservoir and Rye Patch Reservoir. In practical terms, this kind of funding typically supports ongoing operational and management responsibilities connected to recreation at federal water projects, such as planning, maintenance coordination, visitor services, facility oversight, and resource protection activities needed to keep reservoir recreation areas functional and safe for public use.
Legally, the notice cites authority under the Federal Water Projects Recreation Act of 1965 (Public Law 88-72, as amended) and the Reclamation Management Act of 1992 (Public Law 102-575, Title XXVIII, Section 2804). The Bureau of Reclamation also notes that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute some portion of project costs through non-federal funds or allowable in-kind support, consistent with the terms that would be set in the cooperative agreement.
A key point in the announcement is that this is a Notice of Intent to Award rather than an open, competitive grant solicitation. The Bureau of Reclamation states that it is not requesting competitive proposals and that the decision not to compete the award is based on Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraphs 2.14(B)(2) and (B)(4), which provide internal policy justifications for when a non-competitive financial assistance award may be appropriate. As a result, while the opportunity record lists broad categories of eligible applicants (including state, local, county, city/township, and special district governments), the intent described in the notice is to issue the agreement specifically to Nevada State Parks for continued management at those two reservoir sites.
The timeline included an original and current closing date of September 14, 2015, with an archive date of September 15, 2015, reflecting that the notice is historical and no longer active. For questions, the announcement directs inquiries to Vivian Davis, Grants Management Specialist, via email at vdavis@usbr.gov, and it repeats this contact for assistance accessing the full announcement electronically.
