Opportunity Summary:
The Truckee River Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention Program (funding opportunity number R12AS20036) is a discretionary grant planned by the Bureau of Reclamation, Mid Pacific Region, to support aquatic invasive species prevention work in the Truckee River and Lake Tahoe area through the Tahoe Resource Conservation District (TRCD). The agency states it intends to issue a Notice of Intent to award a grant agreement directly to TRCD rather than run a competitive solicitation. The notice emphasizes that it is not a request for proposals, and that the decision not to compete the award is made under Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(2), at the government’s discretion.
The grant is designed to fund three main areas of work tied to TRCD’s Truckee River Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention Program (TRASIPP). First, it would pay for hiring seasonal staff to conduct watercraft or equipment inspections and decontaminations, and to purchase the supplies needed to do that field work effectively. Second, it would cover the purchase of outreach and education materials to inform boaters and the public about preventing the spread of aquatic invasive species. Third, it would provide staff time and administrative supplies necessary for TRCD to manage and administer the grant itself.
From a funding standpoint, the opportunity lists an estimated total of $70,000, with an award ceiling of $70,000 and an award floor of $0, and it anticipates making one award. It is categorized under Natural Resources and is tied to CFDA number 15.517 (Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act). No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated. While the eligibility field says “Unrestricted,” the text makes clear this particular posting is tied to an intended non-competitive award to TRCD.
Key dates in the posting show it was originally posted and created on August 30, 2012, with a closing date of September 13, 2012, and an archive date of September 14, 2012. The notice also notes that Central Contractor Registration requirements apply (now handled through SAM at www.sam.gov). For questions, the listed point of contact is Vivian Davis, Grants Management Specialist with the Bureau of Reclamation (email: vdavis@usbr.gov; phone: 916-978-5543).
