Opportunity Summary:
The Salmon Conservation and Research Interim Facility, Operations and Maintenance opportunity is a federal cooperative agreement the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation plans to award to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife as part of the San Joaquin River Restoration Program (SJRRP). It is tied to CFDA 15.555 and grounded in the legal and policy framework created by Public Law 111-11 and the San Joaquin River Restoration Settlement (including Title X, Part I, and specific referenced sections and settlement stipulations). In practical terms, this funding supports work that contributes to restoring Chinook salmon populations in the San Joaquin River system, while also carrying out associated operational and maintenance needs at an interim conservation and research facility used until a larger, full-scale conservation facility is available.
The agreement amount is estimated at $1,896,461.63, with Reclamation providing the full $1,896,461.63 for Fiscal Year 2016 (so there is no cost share described in the notice). The opportunity was posted as a continuation action rather than a new open competition, with an original closing date of September 7, 2016. The funding activity category is listed under science and technology and other research and development, and the eligible applicant category is state governments, which matches the intended recipient (California Department of Fish and Wildlife). The notice also indicates an award ceiling of $1,896,461 and an expectation of one award, reinforcing that this is designed for a single, specific project and partner.
The core purpose described in the notice is continued implementation of invasive vegetation monitoring and management activities in line with an Invasive Species Monitoring and Management Plan. This type of work matters for salmon restoration because invasive vegetation can alter habitat conditions, water flow, channel structure, and ecological processes that affect spawning and rearing success. Alongside that overarching purpose statement, the announcement lays out the facility and fish program objectives the funding is meant to support. Those objectives include maintaining a genetically diverse broodstock of spring-run Chinook (and potentially fall-run Chinook) to help rebuild runs to self-sustaining levels; meeting SJRRP fish production targets as much as possible given real constraints at the interim facility like limited tank space and water supply; producing juvenile spring-run and fall-run Chinook, with priority placed on spring-run production; and supporting research needs tied to restoring spring-run and/or fall-run Chinook populations. Taken together, the objectives emphasize both conservation hatchery functions (broodstock management and juvenile production) and applied research to improve restoration outcomes over time.
This announcement is explicitly a notice of intent to award and not a request for competitive proposals. Reclamation notes that the decision not to compete the financial assistance is within the government’s discretion under Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, including a cited paragraph used to justify noncompetitive actions. Anyone seeking more detail is directed to the related Notice of Intent to Award (BOR-MP-N026) and to the listed grants management specialist contact, Christina A. Munoz, via cmunoz@usbr.gov.
