Opportunity Summary:
The South Shore Service Yard grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R16AN20012) is a discretionary grant from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (DOI-BOR), focused on upgrading key maintenance and operational facilities at Millerton Lake State Recreation Area (MLSRA) near Friant Dam in California. The main purpose is to address long-standing infrastructure and safety issues at the South Shore Maintenance/Service Yard so the recreation area can operate more effectively, provide better public service, and offer a safer working environment for employees while supporting improved public use of the site.
The project centers on a package of construction and site-improvement work designed to modernize the service yard. Major objectives include demolishing deteriorated and hazardous buildings, making utility improvements, completing grade-work, and adding accessibility upgrades consistent with ADA requirements and Section 504 accessible facilities standards for federal land. The scope also includes constructing a new service building and building a wash pad specifically intended to support treatment and management measures for invasive Quagga mussels, an important operational need for water-based recreation areas where invasive species can spread via boats and equipment. Altogether, the funding is intended to substantially complete five core objectives within the broader South Shore Improvement project, with an emphasis on bringing facilities up to current health, safety, and accessibility compliance.
California Department of Parks and Recreation (CDPR), as the state agency responsible for on-the-ground management of MLSRA, is the intended recipient and the primary implementer. CDPR proposes to manage and complete the project work, using the grant to cover critical facility and program support needs tied to replacing aging infrastructure and addressing compliance gaps. While Reclamation will not have substantial involvement in day-to-day execution, it will maintain routine coordination, communication, and reporting oversight to ensure the funded objectives are completed as planned.
This opportunity is presented on a single-source basis rather than through full and open competition. The justification is that MLSRA is operated under a long-standing management agreement between Reclamation and CDPR (Contract No. 12-LC-20-0152), which assigns CDPR responsibility for the administration, operation, maintenance, and development of recreation uses and facilities for the term of the agreement. CDPR has the equipment, staffing structure, and local operational presence needed to run MLSRA, and it has managed the area for Reclamation since the late 1950s (with earlier contractual arrangements dating back to 1957). Reclamation also points to its 2010 Final Resource Management Plan/Environmental Impact Statement, which identifies implementation of management actions as primarily the responsibility of the managing partner, reinforcing CDPRs unique qualifications to carry out and administer this work.
The statutory authority cited for entering into this agreement is the Federal Water Project Recreation Act (Public Law 89-72, July 9, 1965), particularly Section 1 and Sections 3(b)(1) and 3(c)(1). In practical terms, these provisions support federal encouragement of non-federal public bodies to administer recreation facilities at federal water projects and outline conditions for cost sharing and for expansion or modification of recreation facilities when demand and facility inadequacy justify improvements. The text also emphasizes that the federal share of costs for expanding or modifying a recreational facility under this authority may not exceed 50 percent of the total cost, reflecting the Acts cost-sharing framework.
Key administrative details show the opportunity was posted February 25, 2016, created the same day, and closed March 10, 2016. It is categorized under Natural Resources (CFDA 15.524), uses a grant funding instrument, and lists eligibility as state governments. The expected number of awards is one, with an award ceiling of $245,000, aligning with the single-recipient, site-specific nature of the project at MLSRA.
