Opportunity Summary:
The Water Conservation Field Service Program (Funding Opportunity Number 09SF1CCA25) was a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Pacific Northwest Region. Its purpose was to identify and fund partner organizations to carry out practical water management and water conservation improvements during Fiscal Year 2010, with the performance period beginning October 1, 2009. In plain terms, Reclamation was looking for on-the-ground projects that would measurably improve how water is managed, delivered, or conserved, and it intended to work collaboratively with selected applicants to implement those activities.
This opportunity fell under CFDA 15.530 (Water Conservation Field Services Program) and was categorized within Natural Resources. The funding instrument was a grant, and the program required cost sharing or matching, meaning applicants were expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or eligible in-kind support) as part of the overall project budget. The total estimated funding available was $75,000, with an anticipated two awards. Individual award sizes ranged from a floor of $5,000 to a ceiling of $75,000, indicating that projects could be small, targeted efforts or a single larger effort depending on the quality and scope of proposals and available funds.
Eligible applicants were limited to special district governments, which typically includes entities such as irrigation districts and similar local governmental districts. The announcement also noted a prioritization approach: funds would be directed first to irrigation districts that have contracts to use Bureau of Reclamation facilities or water. Proposals were to be evaluated and rated using the selection criteria described in Section V of the full announcement, which implies a competitive review process where project merit and alignment with program goals would determine awards.
Key dates for the announcement were straightforward: it was posted and created on December 11, 2009, and it closed on December 31, 2009, after which it was archived on January 1, 2010. Applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement were directed to contact Rex Crumrine, Contracts and Agreements Specialist, at 509-575-5848 or rcrumrine@usbr.gov.
