Opportunity Summary:
The Washunga Bay Resurfacing Project (Funding Opportunity Number A16AC00065) is a federal transportation funding action issued by the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). It is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning the agency is announcing its plan to make an award rather than inviting competition. In practical terms, this posting is informational only and is not a request for proposals, applications, or bids, and the notice instructs interested parties not to submit proposals in response.
The planned award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds (for example, oversight, coordination, or technical participation during execution). The intended recipient named in the notice is Kay County, Oklahoma, and the eligible applicant category listed is county governments, consistent with the identified awardee.
The purpose of the project is to resurface approximately 21 miles of roadway on BIA Route 6050 and BIA Route 4571 located in Kay County, Oklahoma. The notice refers to this set of resurfacing work collectively as the Washunga Bay Resurfacing Project. While the summary does not provide engineering specifications, resurfacing generally involves improvements to the driving surface to address wear, extend pavement life, and improve safety and ride quality, and it is categorized here under a transportation funding activity (CFDA number 20.205).
Financially, the notice lists an award ceiling of $1,400,000 and anticipates a single award, which aligns with the intent to fund one specific cooperative agreement with Kay County. The opportunity was created on September 12, 2016, with an original closing date of September 30, 2016, which in this context functions more as an administrative timeline for the notice rather than an application deadline, since the agency is not soliciting proposals.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a formal public announcement that the BIA plans to fund a specific local government partner to complete a defined road resurfacing project on designated BIA routes in Kay County, rather than an open grant competition.
