Opportunity Summary:
The Sacramento Joint Intake Project opportunity is a Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) notice describing a planned funding modification to an existing cooperative agreement, rather than a new, open grant competition. It falls under CFDA 15.512 (Central Valley Project Improvement Act, Title XXXIV of P.L. 102-575), specifically the authority for fish, wildlife, and habitat restoration under Section 3406(b)(21). The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement in the environmental category, and the intended recipient is Reclamation District 2035, a special district government.
The project itself is a joint intake and diversion facility that is already under construction on the Sacramento River near Woodland, California, at approximately River Mile 70.8 on the river's right bank. The purpose of the facility is to allow the recipient and Reclamation to divert water from the Sacramento River while meeting current regulatory and operational requirements related to fish protection (through modern fish screening) and floodway protection. In practical terms, this is infrastructure meant to improve how water is diverted by ensuring the diversion meets contemporary standards for protecting aquatic species and maintaining flood conveyance safety.
The stated core objectives are to design and build key components of the diversion system, specifically an intake pump station, a fish screen, and an outlet station. Because these components are central to both water delivery and environmental compliance, the project is framed as part of broader restoration and protection efforts tied to the Central Valley Project Improvement Act.
Financially, the notice lists an estimated total agreement amount of $56,453,691, with Reclamation planning to provide $2,758,902 in Fiscal Year 2016 as part of that overall total. The opportunity indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the non-federal partner is expected to contribute a portion of project costs. The opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1), consistent with it being a modification to an existing agreement with a specific district.
Importantly, the announcement is explicitly a notice of intent and not a request for competitive proposals. Reclamation also notes that the decision not to compete this financial assistance action is at the government’s discretion under Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(2) and (4). In other words, this posting functions more as a formal public notice about a planned non-competitive action tied to a specific partner and ongoing construction project, rather than an invitation for other applicants to apply.
For reference and tracking, the funding opportunity number is R15AN20036, it was posted August 31, 2015, and the original/current closing date listed is September 13, 2015, with an archive date of September 14, 2015. Questions are directed to Leanne Henderson, Grants Management Specialist, at lhenderson@usbr.gov, including assistance with accessing the full announcement.
