Opportunity Summary:
The Shoshone Bannock Tribes Groundwater Measurement Project is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (Pacific Northwest Region), under CFDA 15.519, Indian Tribal Water Resources Development, Management, and Protection. The core purpose of the project is straightforward: improve groundwater measurement and accountability on the Shoshone-Bannock Reservation by adding metering to irrigation supply wells that are currently unmetered. The project will do this by purchasing and installing 13 totalizing flow meters, which are devices designed to record cumulative water volume over time so that pumping can be tracked accurately.
Implementation is designed to be carried out directly by the Tribes. The Tribal Water Resources Department will handle the full scope of installation work for all 13 meters, with oversight provided by the Deputy Water Engineer. In practice, this means the Tribes are responsible not only for buying the meters, but also for planning the installations, performing the field work, and ensuring the meters are properly installed and functional. The emphasis on in-house installation highlights that the project is intended to strengthen Tribal capacity to manage groundwater data and operational monitoring on the Reservation, rather than relying on outside contractors for the work.
This notice is also important in how it is structured as a federal funding announcement. It is explicitly not a request for applications; instead, it serves as a public notice that the Bureau of Reclamation intends to fund these specific project activities without full and open competition. Eligibility is limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and the opportunity anticipates a single award. The estimated total funding amount is $20,000, with an award ceiling of $20,000 and an award floor of $1, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Key dates show it was posted and created on June 4, 2013, with a closing date of June 18, 2013, and an archive date of July 18, 2013.
