Opportunity Summary:
The Water Quality Data Collection and Planning at Willow Creek Reservoir opportunity is a US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) cooperative agreement focused on gathering water quality data and using it to guide restoration planning for Willow Creek Reservoir in Heppner, Oregon. The work centers on bi-weekly monitoring of water quality conditions in three connected areas: within the reservoir itself, upstream of the reservoir, and downstream of the reservoir. By sampling across these locations on a regular schedule, the project is set up to track how water quality changes over time and how conditions entering the reservoir compare with conditions inside it and leaving it, which is important for identifying sources of problems and measuring downstream impacts.
The collected monitoring data is intended to be more than just a status report. USACE plans to use the water quality information to plan and design actions aimed at restoring water quality in Willow Creek Reservoir. That restoration planning is described as supporting several practical implementation paths, including evaluation, design, and construction of a wetland upstream of the reservoir, potential phosphorus treatment approaches within the reservoir, and the implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) across the watershed upstream of the reservoir on both private and federal lands. In other words, the monitoring is meant to directly feed into decisions about what restoration actions are most appropriate, where they should be located, and how they should be designed to reduce nutrient loading and improve overall reservoir health.
Administratively, this is a discretionary, environment-related funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project period (for example, coordination on methods, schedules, and deliverables). The announcement specifies that USACE intends to make a sole-source, follow-on award to the University of Idaho, meaning it is not being competed broadly and is structured as a continuation of prior related work with the same institution. The authority cited for the award is 33 USC 2339(c).
Funding details indicate an estimated total funding amount of $65,000 with one expected award and no cost sharing or matching requirement. The eligible applicant type listed is public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, consistent with the stated intent to award to the University of Idaho. The opportunity was posted and created on March 13, 2014, with an original and current closing date of March 24, 2014, and an archive date of April 23, 2014.
The work location is clearly defined as Willow Creek Reservoir in Heppner, Oregon, with data collection occurring at the reservoir and related upstream and downstream sites. For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed contact is Karen Dailey, Contract Specialist/Grants Specialist, reachable by phone at 503-808-4615.

What is the legal authority cited for this award?
The authority cited is 33 USC 2339(c).
What is the purpose of collecting water quality data for this project?
The monitoring is intended to do more than document current conditions. USACE plans to use the collected water quality data to plan and design actions aimed at restoring water quality in Willow Creek Reservoir.
Where will the work take place?
The work location is Willow Creek Reservoir in Heppner, Oregon, with sampling occurring in three connected areas: within the reservoir, upstream of the reservoir, and downstream of the reservoir.
What monitoring schedule is described in the announcement?
The work centers on bi-weekly monitoring of water quality conditions at the reservoir and related upstream and downstream sites.
