Opportunity Summary:
The Water Conservation Program - Yuma Area (Funding Opportunity Number 10SF340001) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the Bureau of Reclamation, Lower Colorado Region, under the Water Conservation Field Services Program (CFDA 15.530). It is aimed at supporting practical, on-the-ground projects in the Yuma area that improve water conservation outcomes, including water, soil, and moisture conservation efforts. The core intent is to help applicants develop stronger water management and conservation plans, encourage and accelerate the adoption of water efficiency measures, demonstrate conservation technologies in real-world settings, and expand water conservation education and outreach within the local community.
For fiscal year 2010, the estimated total federal funding available is $190,000. The Bureau anticipates making about three awards, with a plan to issue between two and four cooperative agreements overall. Individual awards are generally expected to be no more than $80,000, although the published award floor is $1,000. Because these awards are cooperative agreements (and not standard grants), recipients should expect substantial involvement from the federal partner during the project, such as coordination, technical collaboration, and shared oversight depending on the final agreement terms.
A major condition of this opportunity is the cost-sharing requirement: applicants must provide a 50% cost share or match. In practice, this means the federal share can cover only part of the total project cost, and the applicant (and/or partners) must commit the remaining half through eligible non-federal cash and/or allowable in-kind contributions, consistent with the program and federal assistance rules.
Applications are evaluated through a technical merit review process. All submissions are reviewed and scored by a technical panel, and awards are made to applicants that are responsive to the announcement, responsible, and eligible, with selection based on technical quality at a fixed assistance amount. The opportunity was posted on November 3, 2009 (created November 5, 2009), with an application deadline of December 18, 2009, and an archive date of January 17, 2010.
Eligibility is broad across public and tribal entities and includes state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, federally recognized tribal governments, other Native American tribal organizations, and public or state-controlled institutions of higher education. The announcement also references eligibility requirements under Public Law 111-11, which governs aspects of Reclamation water and conservation authorities tied to this program.
While the program funding level is listed for FY 2010, the notice clarifies that funds were not yet available at the time of posting. Awards would be made only after FY 2010 appropriations became available, with the agency anticipating funding and awards could become available around March 2010. For applicants needing help obtaining the full announcement or navigating access issues, the listed point of contact is Gerald Casares, Grants and Agreements Specialist, at 928-343-8262.
