Opportunity Summary:
The Thomas Creek Water Quality - Clean Samish Initiative is a discretionary federal grant action published by the Bureau of Reclamation (Pacific Northwest Region) to announce its intent to fund a specific project with the Samish Nation, rather than to solicit applications from the public. In other words, the notice functions as a public transparency posting, not an open competition or a typical grant call where multiple applicants submit proposals. The Bureau of Reclamation indicates it plans to enter into a grant agreement directly with the Samish Nation Tribe without full and open competition, consistent with the limited scope and identified recipient described in the announcement.
The purpose of the project is to support ongoing, regular water quality monitoring and habitat assessment work in Thomas Creek over a three-year period. The core deliverable is a continued stream of consistent monitoring data that serves two main needs: establishing baseline conditions for water quality and habitat, and generating post-restoration monitoring data after restoration efforts occur. By collecting comparable data over time, the project is intended to help evaluate whether restoration actions are working, quantify changes in stream conditions, and provide practical evidence to guide and improve future restoration planning and implementation.
Funding for the project is listed at an estimated total of $150,000, with an award ceiling of $150,000 and an expected number of awards of one. No cost sharing or matching requirement is stated, meaning the recipient is not required to provide a non-federal match as a condition of the award. The assistance listing is associated with CFDA 15.519, Indian Tribal Water Resources Development, Management, and Protection, aligning the work with federal support for tribal water resource capacity, monitoring, and environmental protection activities.
Eligibility is limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and the only identified partner in the planned award is the Samish Nation. The opportunity was posted on April 10, 2012, with an original and current closing date of April 24, 2012, and an archive date of April 25, 2012, reflecting that it was time-bounded as a notice of intent rather than an open application window. The announcement includes a point of contact for access issues or questions: Sharon Hamson, Grants Management Specialist, Bureau of Reclamation, reachable by phone at 509-575-5848 or by email at shamson@usbr.gov.
