Opportunity Summary:

The Roza I.D. Re regulation Reservoir Implementation - YRBWEP funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R13SS13003) is a Bureau of Reclamation grant notice published by the Pacific Northwest Region under the Yakima River Basin Water Enhancement Project (YRBWEP), CFDA 15.531. It falls under the Environment and Natural Resources activity category and is structured as a discretionary grant. The notice was posted on April 9, 2013, with an original and final closing date of April 23, 2013, and an archive date of April 25, 2013.

What is most important about this announcement is that it is not an open solicitation and it is not asking the public to submit applications. Instead, it serves as a formal public notice that Reclamation intends to fund specific project activities without full and open competition, meaning the agency is planning a noncompetitive or limited-competition award rather than running a typical competitive grant process. In practical terms, the agency is signaling that it expects to make an award to a specific entity (or a very limited set of entities) to carry out the described work related to implementing a re-regulation reservoir project associated with Roza Irrigation District within the broader YRBWEP framework.

The opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with total estimated funding of $16,900,000. The award floor and award ceiling are both listed as $16,900,000, which implies the agency intended one grant at that fixed amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. The announcement also indicates a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would be expected to contribute non-federal funds, in-kind contributions, or another form of match as part of the overall project financing structure, consistent with the program and project agreement terms.

Eligibility is limited to special district governments, which typically includes entities such as irrigation districts and similar local governmental or quasi-governmental districts. This aligns with the title and context, since Roza I.D. refers to an irrigation district and the project relates to water management infrastructure in the Yakima River Basin.

For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed contact is Sharon Hamson, Grants Management Specialist, at the Bureau of Reclamation's Columbia-Cascades Area Office, reachable by phone at 509-575-5848.
