Opportunity Summary:
The Red Bluff Construction Technical Support Services opportunity is a continuation action from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (Mid Pacific Region), focused on supporting construction-related work at the Red Bluff Pumping Plant. Rather than being a new, open competition, this notice describes Reclamation's intent to issue a modification to an existing cooperative agreement (R10AC20056) with the Tehama Colusa Canal Authority. The legal authority cited is Public Law 102-575, Title XXXIV, the Central Valley Project Improvement Act, under CFDA 15.512, and the activity is tied to fish passage improvement.
The purpose of the additional funding is to keep ongoing technical work moving forward, specifically engineering design support and construction management services associated with the Red Bluff Pumping Plant. In practical terms, this kind of support typically includes tasks like finalizing or refining design documents, responding to design questions that arise during construction, reviewing submittals, coordinating with contractors and stakeholders, tracking construction progress, addressing field conditions, and ensuring the work aligns with applicable technical requirements and project objectives.
The period of performance listed for the work runs from July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2012, reflecting that this action is part of a longer-running project timeline rather than a short standalone award. Reclamation anticipated making the modification award on or before September 30, 2011. The estimated total funding amount is $794,900, which is also listed as the award ceiling, with an award floor of $0. The opportunity indicates an expectation of one award and states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Although the eligibility field is marked as "unrestricted," the text of the announcement makes it clear that Reclamation is not seeking competitive proposals. The agency explicitly states that the determination not to compete is based on Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(2) for continuation and 2.14(B)(4) for unique qualifications, meaning the agency views this as an appropriate continuation of an existing relationship with an entity that is uniquely positioned to perform the work. The notice is therefore informational in nature, documenting the government's intent and its rationale, and it should not be read as an invitation for other organizations to apply.
Key administrative details include a posted and created date of September 15, 2011, with a closing date of September 29, 2011, and an archive date of September 30, 2011. Questions about the announcement are directed to Mary Sims, Grants Specialist, reachable by email at msims@usbr.gov.
