Opportunity Summary:
The Sacramento River Salmonid Spawning and Rearing Habitat Restoration opportunity is a Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) cooperative agreement focused on improving in-river habitat conditions for anadromous fish in the Sacramento River, specifically multiple runs of Chinook salmon (fall, late fall, spring, and winter) and steelhead. The grant is issued under CFDA 15.512 and the authority of Public Law 102-575, the Central Valley Project Improvement Act (Title XXXIV), citing Sections 3406(b)(1) and 3407(e). The overall agreement is estimated at about $5.11 million, with Reclamation providing $680,000 for Fiscal Year 2014. There is no cost-share or matching requirement listed.
The work described centers on practical, on-the-ground habitat restoration actions intended to increase both spawning and juvenile rearing capacity. The stated project objectives include creating new side channels and modifying existing side channels to provide or improve habitat for juvenile salmonids. In addition, the project plans call for placing appropriately sized spawning gravel at targeted locations and adding structural habitat elements like woody material and boulders where suitable, following engineered designs. To verify results and document habitat improvements, the agreement also includes pre- and post-construction/site surveys to measure effectiveness, providing before-and-after data on habitat conditions and outcomes.
Administratively, this posting is a Notice of Intent to Award (Funding Opportunity Number R14AN20021) rather than an open, competitive solicitation. Reclamation indicates it intends to make a single award (Expected Awards: 1) to the Western Shasta Resource Conservation District, and it explicitly notes that the government has discretion to not compete the financial assistance under Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(2) and (4). In other words, it is not asking other applicants to submit proposals, even though the opportunity is categorized as discretionary environmental funding and lists eligible applicants as special district governments.
Key dates in the posting show it was announced on August 8, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 22, 2014, and an archive date of August 23, 2014. The listing also provides a point of contact for questions or access issues: Megan Bryant, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by email at mbryant@usbr.gov.
