Opportunity Summary:

The West Mountain Campground and Dump Station Sewer Connection Project is a discretionary grant action announced by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (Pacific Northwest Region), to support a specific infrastructure improvement at a federally associated recreation site. The announcement makes clear that it is not a competitive solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as formal public notice of the Bureau of Reclamation's intent to make a single grant award to the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation (IDPR). The purpose of the project is straightforward: connect the existing campground restroom and dump station facilities at West Mountain Campground to a newly installed sewer line located just across West Mountain Road, replacing or resolving prior wastewater limitations that have affected public use.

Under the planned arrangement, IDPR is responsible for essentially all aspects of delivering the project from start to finish. That includes conducting any necessary surveying, completing engineering and design work, procuring and managing contractors, and providing construction oversight. IDPR must also obtain and pay for needed materials and equipment such as pumps, secure permits, schedule and pass inspections, and cover any sewer connection fees required to tie into the new line. After construction is completed, IDPR will continue to carry the responsibility for operating and maintaining the upgraded sewer connection and associated improvements going forward, meaning the grant supports not only construction but a transition to long-term, locally managed functionality.

The public benefit described in the announcement is the restoration of services that allow the campground and dump station to reopen and function reliably for visitors. By establishing a permanent connection to a nearby sewer line, the project is intended to bring the West Mountain Campground and its dump station back into service for the recreating public at a popular federal water project, improving sanitation and visitor readiness and helping ensure the site can be used as intended during recreation seasons.

From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity is identified under Funding Opportunity Number 11SS1S0037 and is categorized under the Environment and Natural Resources activity area, with CFDA 15.524 (Recreation Resources Management). The Bureau of Reclamation expected to make one award with an estimated total funding amount of $135,000, which is also listed as the award ceiling. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, indicating the recipient must contribute non-federal resources or match funds consistent with the grant terms. Eligibility is limited to state governments, which aligns with the intended recipient being IDPR. The notice was posted and created on October 29, 2010, with a closing date of November 12, 2010, and archived on November 13, 2010, reflecting the administrative window for public notice rather than an open application period.
