Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), Mid-Pacific Region, announced a discretionary grant opportunity under the Water Conservation Field Services Program (WCFSP) for the Klamath Basin Area Office. The funding opportunity number is R10AF20008, and it is intended to support on-the-ground and planning-focused water conservation and water management work within Reclamation boundaries. The core purpose is to provide financial assistance for projects that (1) help develop written water management and/or water conservation plans, (2) demonstrate new or previously unknown water management technologies and practices, and (3) carry out specific actions that are identified in existing written water management plans. In other words, the program is aimed at both building the planning foundation for better water management and helping applicants test or implement practical conservation measures tied to those plans.
The total estimated funding available for this FOA is $500,000, with an expectation of making about 20 awards. Individual awards can be as high as $25,000, and the listed award floor is $0, indicating there is not a stated minimum request amount. Funding is provided through grants (and/or cooperative agreements, as referenced in the description), and the activity category is described as Water Management/Conservation. This opportunity falls under CFDA 15.530, which corresponds to the Water Conservation Field Services Program.
Cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants should expect to contribute some portion of the project cost from non-federal sources consistent with program rules. The announcement also notes that Central Contractor Registration (CCR) requirements apply (the system referenced historically at www.ccr.gov), meaning applicants would need to be properly registered in the federal contracting/assistance registration system as part of being eligible to receive an award.
Eligible applicants are broad and include agricultural and municipal/industrial water districts, irrigation districts, water districts or similar entities, communities, state or local water agencies, and water-related nonprofit organizations. The eligibility list also includes small entities (public or private) that hold contracts for water with Reclamation under the Warren Act, Native American Tribes, and universities or other educational institutions, as long as the proposed water conservation activities take place within Reclamation boundaries. This structure suggests Reclamation was aiming to reach both operational water suppliers (districts and agencies) and organizations capable of research, demonstration, and technical implementation (nonprofits and universities), while also explicitly including Tribes and Warren Act contractors.
Key dates for the solicitation were posted/created on February 19, 2010, with an application closing deadline of March 19, 2010, and an archive date of April 18, 2010. The point of contact listed for questions is Mary Sims, identified as a Contract Specialist, reachable by email at msims@usbr.gov. The notice also indicates that if applicants have trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, they should contact Mary Sims for assistance.
