Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Yuma East Wetlands North and South Channel Maintenance and Bankline Enhancement" (Funding Opportunity Number R10SS34003) is a federal funding notice from the Bureau of Reclamation, Lower Colorado Region, focused on natural resources work along the lower Colorado River near Yuma, Arizona. The purpose is to support wetlands development activities tied to the Yuma East Wetlands Restoration Project, specifically involving maintenance of the North and South channels and improvements to the bankline to enhance and protect the wetland area. In practical terms, the work is aimed at sustaining and improving wetland conditions by maintaining channel function and addressing erosion or stability issues along the riverbank, which can be important for habitat quality, long-term restoration performance, and river-adjacent infrastructure protection.
This posting is not a competitive grant solicitation. It is a Notice of Intent to Award a single-source agreement, meaning the Bureau of Reclamation announced its plan to provide the award to one specific recipient without full and open competition. The eligible applicant pool is restricted by law to the City of Yuma. The eligibility limitation is explicitly tied to Public Law 111-85, the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 2010, which earmarked or otherwise directed funding in a way that confines the award to that local government entity. As a result, other municipalities, nonprofits, universities, tribes, or private entities are not eligible to apply under this opportunity.
The funding instrument listed includes a grant (and the notice also references procurement contract as an instrument type), and the activity category is Natural Resources. The opportunity is associated with CFDA 15.517 under the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, reflecting a programmatic connection to efforts that conserve, restore, or enhance fish and wildlife resources in coordination with water-resource projects. The announcement anticipated exactly one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,000,000. The award ceiling and award floor are both $2,000,000, which indicates the award amount was effectively set at a fixed level rather than a range.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on August 30, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 13, 2010, and an archive date of October 13, 2010. The notice states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the City of Yuma was not required to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving the federal award under this specific announcement.
For parties seeking additional details or who had trouble accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Gerald Casares, Grants and Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 928-343-8262. The overall function of the notice is primarily transparency: it informs the public that Reclamation intended to fund this specific wetlands restoration-related maintenance and bankline enhancement effort through a single-source award to the City of Yuma, rather than through a broadly competed process.
