Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Salmon Conservation And Research Interim Facility, Operations And Maintenance" (Funding Opportunity Number R13AS20023), is a Bureau of Reclamation Mid-Pacific Region notice of intent to award a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.555, the San Joaquin River Restoration Program (SJRRP). The legal authority cited includes Public Law 111-11 and the San Joaquin River Restoration Settlement provisions (Title X, Part I, including Sections 10002 and 10004(b)(1), and Settlement paragraph 14(a)). The announcement was posted July 10, 2013, with a closing date of July 24, 2013, and it was archived July 25, 2013.
The project is designed as an interim measure to keep salmon conservation and research work moving while the full-scale San Joaquin River Salmon Conservation and Research Facility is being built. In practical terms, the award supports the day-to-day operations and maintenance of a temporary (surrogate) facility so Chinook salmon can be reared with the goal of rebuilding populations to self-sustaining levels. This interim facility is meant to bridge the gap between current restoration needs and the future, permanent facility that will ultimately take over this work.
The main technical and program objectives focus on conserving and rebuilding Chinook salmon runs important to the San Joaquin River restoration effort. First, the work aims to develop and maintain a genetically diverse broodstock, primarily for spring-run Chinook and potentially for fall-run Chinook as well. The broodstock development specifically references rearing brood year 2012 spring-run Chinook salmon originating from the Feather River Fish Hatchery. Second, the project aims to produce juvenile spring-run Chinook (and potentially fall-run juveniles), which is a core output needed for population rebuilding and related management actions. Third, the agreement is intended to support research needs tied to restoring spring and/or fall-run Chinook populations, meaning the interim facility is not only for fish production but also for collecting information and supporting studies that inform restoration decisions.
Financially, the estimated total funding for the agreement is $275,603, with the Bureau of Reclamation providing the full amount ($275,603). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, and the funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial federal involvement or collaboration during project execution. The activity category is listed as Environment, and the announcement anticipates a single award.
Although the posting includes a broad set of eligible applicant types in the general listing (including various levels of government, nonprofits, higher education institutions, tribal organizations, individuals, and certain for-profit entities), the narrative makes clear that Reclamation specifically intends to issue this cooperative agreement to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. It also explicitly states that the government may choose not to compete the financial assistance action under Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(2)(4), and that this notice is not a request for competitive proposals. In other words, it functions as a public notice of Reclamation's intent to make a directed award rather than an open solicitation where multiple applicants submit competing applications.
