Opportunity Summary:
The Recycled Water Study, San Diego Water Reclamation Project (Funding Opportunity Number R10SF35275) is a federal discretionary funding opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Lower Colorado Region, under CFDA 15.504, the Title XVI Water Reclamation and Reuse Program. The announcement is specifically a notice of intent to make a non-competitive award, meaning the Bureau of Reclamation planned to fund a single, identified recipient rather than run an open competition among multiple applicants. In this case, the intended recipient is the City of San Diego, and the work centers on a recycled water study tied to the San Diego Water Reclamation Project, reflecting the program focus on developing, evaluating, or improving water recycling and reuse efforts as part of broader natural resources and water supply reliability goals.
The expected funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant. In practical terms, a cooperative agreement typically signals that the federal agency anticipates having substantial involvement during the project period, such as participating in technical discussions, reviewing deliverables, coordinating on study methods, or otherwise collaborating with the recipient as the work proceeds. The opportunity lists cost sharing or matching as required, so the City of San Diego would be expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or eligible in-kind contributions) to meet the project cost-share obligations consistent with Title XVI program requirements and the specific terms negotiated in the agreement.
Financially, the notice indicates an estimated total federal funding amount of $100,000, with an award floor of $100,000 and an award ceiling of $575,000. Even though the ceiling is higher, the estimate and floor point to a planned federal contribution at the $100,000 level for this particular action, unless later adjusted within the allowable ceiling based on final scope, negotiations, or availability of funds. Only one award was anticipated, consistent with the non-competitive intent and the identification of the City of San Diego as the eligible applicant for this cooperative agreement.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted on September 13, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 27, 2010, and an archive date of October 27, 2010. Eligibility is limited to city or township governments, reinforcing that this announcement was designed for a local governmental partner rather than private entities, nonprofits, universities, or individuals. The funding activity category is listed as Natural Resources, aligning with Bureau of Reclamation responsibilities around water management, reclamation, and reuse in the western United States.
For access or questions about the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Dennis Wolfe, Area Engineer, reachable by phone at 951-695-5310, with support offered for anyone who had difficulty accessing the announcement electronically.
