Opportunity Summary:
The Sacramento River Joint Intake Project - Construction Modification is a federal financial assistance action from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (BOR), Mid-Pacific Region. Rather than opening a new competitive grant round, BOR announced its intent to modify an existing cooperative agreement (award number R14AC00021) with Reclamation District 2035. The modification is being issued under CFDA 15.512, Central Valley Project Improvement Act (CVPIA), authorized by Public Law 102-575, Section 3406(b)(21). The opportunity is categorized as continuation funding, meaning it is tied to an ongoing, previously awarded project rather than a new solicitation.
The purpose of the funding is to support construction-related work for the Sacramento River Joint Intake Project, which centers on installing or improving a fish screen at an intake location on the Sacramento River. The fish screen is intended to prevent entrainment, meaning it reduces the chance that endangered anadromous fish (species that migrate between the ocean and freshwater rivers to spawn) are pulled into water diversion infrastructure. In practical terms, this type of project is typically aimed at reducing direct mortality and stress on protected fish populations while allowing necessary water operations to continue in a more environmentally responsible way.
This action is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that BOR expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared with a standard grant. The notice also indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, so Reclamation District 2035 is expected to contribute non-federal funds or in-kind support as part of the overall project financing. Only one award is anticipated, and eligibility is effectively limited to Reclamation District 2035, which is explicitly identified as the eligible applicant.
The estimated funding for the modification is $1,615,108, with an award floor of $1,615,108 and an award ceiling of $1,715,108, indicating the expected amount is very close to a fixed figure but could potentially vary up to the ceiling. The estimated date for issuing the modification was on or about September 12, 2014. The period of performance runs from the date of award through December 31, 2015, defining the window in which the funded construction and related project activities were expected to be completed.
Importantly, the announcement is a Notice of Intent and explicitly states it is not a request for competitive proposals. BOR cites Departmental Manual 505 DM2, paragraph 2.14(B)(4) as the basis for its determination not to compete this financial assistance action, and notes that the decision not to compete is solely within the government’s discretion. Administrative posting details show it was posted August 20, 2014, with an original and current closing date of September 3, 2014, and an archive date of September 4, 2014, reflecting that this was primarily a public notice rather than an open application opportunity.
For additional details tied to the official notice, the announcement directs readers to Notice of Intent (NOI) R14AN20026. Questions were directed to Mr. Robert S. Lowry at the Bureau of Reclamation via email at rlowry@usbr.gov, and he is also listed as the contact for assistance accessing the full announcement electronically.
