Opportunity Summary:
The Riparian Habitat Establishment Model (RHEM) opportunity is a discretionary cooperative agreement announced by the Bureau of Reclamation (Mid-Pacific Regional Office) under CFDA 15.533, California Water Security and Environmental Enhancement Act. The agency states its intent to make a single award on a sole-source basis rather than running an open competition. In practical terms, this notice functions as a public statement that Reclamation plans to fund a specific partner for a specific piece of work, and it is explicitly not a request for competitive proposals.
The planned recipient is the University of California, Davis (listed in the notice with the Davis address at 1850 Research Park Drive, Suite 300, Davis, CA 95616), under Cooperative Agreement number 09SS200036 (also referenced as CESU # 3FC810873). The technical purpose of the funding is to support field and laboratory studies focused on soil-water-nutrient relationships in riparian settings. Those measurements and analyses are intended to generate or refine the parameter values needed for use in the Riparian Habitat Establishment Model (RHEM), a computer model aimed at informing riparian habitat establishment and management decisions.
The period of performance is set from the date of award through July 30, 2010, with an estimated award date around April 27, 2009. The estimated total funding is $143,938, and the notice lists the award ceiling and floor as the same amount, indicating the agency’s expectation of a fixed, single award value rather than a range of possible award sizes. The opportunity indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Administratively, the announcement cites the Departmental Manual (505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(4)) as the basis for not competing the assistance agreement, emphasizing that the decision to proceed without competition is solely within the government’s discretion. While the general eligibility category is described as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, the structure of the notice makes clear that only one award is expected and that the funding is intended for the named institution.
Key dates shown in the posting include a posted/creation date of March 27, 2009, an original and current closing date of April 9, 2009, and an archive date of May 9, 2009. The notice also references Central Contractor Registration (CCR) requirements (with the provided link to ccr.gov, as it existed at the time), meaning standard federal registration expectations applied to the award process.
For questions or access issues related to the announcement, the listed point of contact is Maria E. Castaneda, Contract Specialist at the Bureau of Reclamation, reachable by email at mcastaneda@mp.usbr.gov and by phone at (916) 978-5148.
