Opportunity Summary:
The YRBWEP Feasibility Study grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 08SF1UR033RID) is a discretionary federal grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, through its Upper Columbia Area Office. It falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is tied to the Yakima River Basin Water Enhancement Project (YRBWEP), listed under CFDA 15.531. The central purpose of the award is to pay for a feasibility investigation or study focused on two related infrastructure concepts for the Roza Irrigation District: (1) evaluating a re-regulation reservoir and (2) evaluating the piping of laterals. In practical terms, the funding is meant to support planning-level technical work to determine whether these improvements are workable, cost-effective, and beneficial before moving into final design and construction.
The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000. The ceiling for an individual award was $500,000, while the minimum (floor) amount was $50,000. A cost-sharing or matching contribution was required, meaning the recipient would need to provide a portion of project costs from non-federal sources or otherwise meet the match requirements specified by the program. The eligible applicant category was limited to special district governments, which aligns with irrigation districts and similar local governmental entities.
Key dates indicate this was a time-limited solicitation: it was posted and created on May 29, 2008, with an original and final closing date of June 13, 2008, and it was archived on June 14, 2008.
