Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a federal discretionary funding action from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, announcing its intent to make a non-competitive cooperative agreement with the Trinity County Resource Conservation District. The agreement is issued under CFDA 15.532 (Central Valley Project Improvement Act authority), specifically tied to Public Law 102-575 and sections 3406(b)(1) and 3407(e), which support actions connected to restoration and related program goals. The notice is framed as a Notice of Intent to Award (Funding Opportunity Number BOR-MP-16-N014), meaning the agency is signaling a planned award rather than inviting applications in an open competition.
The project itself is focused on public information, education, and outreach in support of the Trinity River Restoration Program (TRRP). The core rationale is that TRRP involves complicated legal, scientific, and biological considerations, and that improved public understanding is considered essential to increasing the chances of long-term success. In practice, the funded work is meant to strengthen awareness, acceptance, and support for restoration efforts while serving the broader interests of the TRRP partner agencies and the program overall. In other words, the deliverables are outreach-oriented rather than construction or on-the-ground habitat work, aiming to build informed engagement around the restoration program.
Funding details indicate an estimated total agreement value of $640,635.32, with no recipient cost share required or provided (listed as $0.00 from the recipient). Reclamation’s contribution includes $114,000.58 specifically identified for Fiscal Year 2016, implying the remaining amount may be planned across additional fiscal years or phases under the same agreement structure. The listing also shows an Award Ceiling of $11,400,058 and Expected Awards of 1; however, the narrative portion makes clear that the planned agreement for this specific recipient is estimated at the $640,635.32 level.
Eligibility information in the source data lists “Native American tribal governments (Federally recognized)” as eligible applicants, and the activity category is Natural Resources. Despite that general eligibility field, this particular announcement is explicitly not a request for competitive proposals and is not presented as an open application opportunity. The agency cites Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(2) and (4), as the basis for its decision not to compete the assistance action, emphasizing that this determination is solely at the government’s discretion.
Key administrative details include the posting date (July 13, 2016) and an original closing date (July 26, 2016), which function more as notice and administrative timing markers than a deadline for public submissions, since the award is intended to be non-competitive. Anyone needing clarification is directed to the grants management point of contact: Teresa E. Brown, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by email at tebrown@usbr.gov. For further context, the notice instructs readers to refer to the Notice of Intent to Award Announcement No. BOR-MP-16-N014.
