Opportunity Summary:
The Red Bluff Fish Passage Improvement Project (FPIP) Operations and Maintenance Support Facility opportunity is a federal financial assistance action from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (DOI-BOR). It is being issued as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.533, authorized by the Central Valley Project Improvement Act (Public Law 102-575), specifically Section 3406(b)(10). The intent is to provide targeted support tied to the long-running Red Bluff FPIP effort, with this agreement described as the last major remaining step associated with the overall project.
The funding is set at a total of $300,000, with Reclamation providing the full $300,000 in Fiscal Year 2016. Reclamation also established a maximum federal participation ceiling of $300,000 for this action, meaning the federal contribution is capped at that amount. The activity focus falls under the Natural Resources category, and the instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically implies Reclamation expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out, rather than acting only as a pass-through funder.
The purpose of the agreement is to support operations and maintenance needs associated with a new pumping plant by enabling construction of a modern operations and maintenance (O and M) facility. The Tehama Colusa Canal Authority (TCCA) proposed constructing this support facility through a cooperative agreement, and the Commissioner of Reclamation concurred with that approach. In practical terms, the opportunity is framed around ensuring the new pumping plant can be properly operated and maintained over time by providing appropriate, updated facilities to support those ongoing responsibilities.
This notice is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award and not a competitive solicitation. In other words, it is not asking the public to submit proposals for funding. Reclamation indicates it is proceeding with a non-competitive determination under Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(2) and (4), and notes that the decision not to compete the award is solely within the government’s discretion. While the listing includes a broad set of eligible applicant types (including state, county, city/township, special district governments, and certain Native American tribal governments and organizations), the stated intent here is to issue the cooperative agreement to TCCA.
Key administrative details include the Funding Opportunity Number R16AN20008, an original and current closing date of March 9, 2016, and a posting/creation date of February 25, 2016. The award ceiling is $300,000. The record also lists "ExpectedAwards: 10," but the narrative description emphasizes a specific intended recipient for this particular action. For questions, the point of contact is Teresa E. Brown, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by email at tebrown@usbr.gov.
