Opportunity Summary:
The WCFSP Piping opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 09SF1L1353TID) is a discretionary grant offered by the Bureau of Reclamation, Upper Columbia Area Office, under the Water Conservation Field Services Program (WCFSP), CFDA 15.530. The purpose of the funding is narrowly focused: Reclamation proposes to continue an existing grant so that the Talent Irrigation District can complete additional piping work on two irrigation laterals. In practical terms, this type of project is typically aimed at improving water delivery efficiency by replacing or supplementing open conveyance (such as earthen or open channels) with enclosed piping, which can reduce seepage losses, evaporation, and operational issues like weed growth or sediment buildup.
The opportunity anticipates a single award, reflecting that it is designed to extend or build upon an ongoing project rather than fund multiple competing proposals. The funding range listed includes an award floor of $5,000 and an award ceiling of $77,975, indicating the expected scale of federal participation for the additional work. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal funds or eligible in-kind resources toward the total project cost, consistent with common Reclamation water conservation grants that require local investment alongside federal dollars.
Eligibility is limited to special district governments, which aligns with the intended recipient being an irrigation district. The opportunity was posted and created on March 27, 2009, with an original and current closing date of April 17, 2009, and an archive date of April 18, 2009. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is natural resources, which fits the program's conservation-oriented goals and the operational mission of the Bureau of Reclamation.
