Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Shoshone Paiute Tribes Rehabilitation of Irrigation Control Structures" (Funding Opportunity Number R13AS11012) is a Bureau of Reclamation, Pacific Northwest Region discretionary grant intended to support targeted repairs and upgrades to irrigation water control infrastructure for the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes. The work focuses on rehabilitating aging control structures so they can more reliably manage irrigation deliveries and water levels in the local canal and lateral system, improving day-to-day operational control and helping prevent failures tied to deteriorated materials.

The project activities are narrowly defined around three construction tasks. First, the Tribes propose building two new redwood headwalls at existing water control structures, one near farm tract 1238 and another near farm tract 1210. Each of these sites currently uses two metal control gates, and the plan is to preserve and reuse those gates by reattaching them to the new headwalls once construction is complete. Second, the Tribes plan to replace a deteriorated softwood check structure near Tract 1061 with a new redwood structure of similar design. This check structure plays an operational role in controlling water levels in the Thacker Lateral and managing diversions into upstream delivery ditches, using removable redwood check boards to adjust flows and elevations as needed.

Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $25,000, with an award ceiling of $25,000 and an award floor of $1, and it anticipates making one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding is associated with CFDA 15.519, Indian Tribal Water Resources Development, Management, and Protection, which aligns with the project purpose of improving water management infrastructure for a federally recognized Tribe.

Eligibility is limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments. Importantly, the notice states that it is not a request for applications; instead, it serves as public notice of Reclamation's intent to fund the described project activities without full and open competition. The posting date and creation date are both June 14, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 28, 2013, and an archive date of July 28, 2013. Additional information is referenced through Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access issues is Melinda Ritacco, Financial Assistance Specialist, at 208-378-5103.
