Opportunity Summary:
The Water Conservation Field Services Program (WCFSP) funding opportunity (FOA number R10AF20013) is a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (BOR), Mid-Pacific Region. The intent of this opportunity is to provide financial assistance for on-the-ground planning work that strengthens water management and water conservation, with a particular emphasis on helping applicants prepare written water management and/or conservation plans. In practice, the focus is not simply on implementing infrastructure projects, but on supporting the development of formal, documented plans that guide how water is used, managed, and conserved within the areas served by Reclamation.
The program is structured as a grant (and may also be administered through cooperative agreements), with an expected two awards available under this specific announcement. Total estimated funding for the round is $100,000, with a stated maximum award amount (ceiling) of $50,000 per award and no minimum award amount (floor of $0). A cost-share or matching contribution is required, meaning applicants should be prepared to contribute non-federal resources toward the overall effort and to document that contribution as part of the application.
Eligibility is broad but targeted to organizations involved in water delivery, water management, conservation, or water-related public benefit work, particularly where activities occur within Reclamation boundaries. Eligible applicants include agricultural and municipal water districts, irrigation districts, other water districts or water-related entities, communities, state and local water agencies, water-related nonprofit organizations, and small public or private entities that hold water contracts with Reclamation under the Warren Act. Native American Tribes are eligible, as are universities and other educational institutions, so long as the proposed work involves water conservation activities within Reclamation boundaries. The activity category aligns with natural resources, and the CFDA listing is 15.530 (Water Conservation Field Services Program).
From an administrative standpoint, applicants were required to be registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) system (the federal vendor/assistance registration system used at the time of the announcement). The funding opportunity was posted and created on January 27, 2010, with an application deadline of February 24, 2010, and it was archived on February 25, 2010. For questions or help accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Vivian Davis, Contract Specialist, reachable by email at vdavis@usbr.gov.
