Opportunity Summary:
The Red Bluff Construction Technical Support grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R10AS20015) is a Bureau of Reclamation, Mid Pacific Region notice of intent to make a single cooperative agreement award to the Tehama-Colusa Canal Authority. The funding is being provided under CFDA 15.512, the Central Valley Project Improvement Act (Public Law 102-575, Title XXXIV). The stated purpose of the award is to fund engineering design support and construction management services connected to the proposed Red Bluff Pumping Plant, essentially covering the technical and management work needed to move the project through design and construction oversight.
This opportunity is structured as a continuation action and is explicitly described as sole source, meaning Reclamation does not plan to run an open competition for this funding. The agency cites the Departmental Manual (505 DM 2) as the basis for not competing the award, specifically provisions related to continuation and unique qualifications. In practical terms, that language signals the government believes the identified recipient is uniquely positioned to continue or perform this work, and the decision to proceed without competition is described as entirely within the government’s discretion. Because of that, the notice is not a request for applications or competitive proposals, and other organizations are not being solicited to submit bids or alternative submissions.
Financially, the posting indicates a total estimated funding amount of $2,000,000, with both the award floor and ceiling set at $2,000,000, which implies the agency anticipated one award at a fixed total amount rather than a range. The expected number of awards is one, and the eligible applicant category listed is special district governments, matching the intended recipient’s profile. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means Reclamation expects to have substantial involvement during performance (for example, coordination, oversight, or collaboration) compared with a standard grant.
Timing details show the opportunity was posted on April 28, 2010 (created April 27, 2010), with an original and current closing date of May 13, 2010, and an archive date of June 12, 2010. The estimated award date was on or about July 27, 2010. The period of performance was planned to run from the date of award through December 31, 2012, defining the window during which the design support and construction management activities would be carried out and billed under the agreement. The funding activity category is listed as Environment.
For questions, the announcement directs inquiries to Jeff Palachat via email at spalachat@usbr.gov. The contact section also lists Sataporn Palachat as the grants officer, with a phone number of 916-978-5146 and the same email address, particularly for help accessing the full announcement electronically.
