Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR MP 17 N026
The GARDEN HIGHWAY MUTUAL WATER COMPANY FISH SCREEN PROJECT (Funding Opportunity Number BOR MP 17 N026) is a Bureau of Reclamation discretionary funding action under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is set up as a cooperative agreement in the environmental program area and is tied to CFDA 15.512, using authority from the Central Valley Project Improvement Act (P.L. 102-575), Section 3406(b)(21), which focuses on fish, wildlife, and habitat restoration. Rather than being an open, competitive grant solicitation, this notice functions as a formal announcement of Reclamation's intent to make a single award to a specific partner, the Family Water Alliance, with the government retaining the discretion to proceed without competition under Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(4). Because of that structure, the notice explicitly states it is not requesting competitive proposals.
The project itself targets a high-priority water diversion on the Feather River in Sutter County, California, at the Garden Highway Mutual Water Company site. The core goal is to install a fish screen system at the diversion, a type of infrastructure commonly used to reduce the entrainment of fish and other aquatic organisms into irrigation or water supply intakes. In practical terms, the work is expected to cover the full implementation lifecycle: developing the approach, completing engineering and design, manufacturing the screen components, installing the system in the field, then performing monitoring and post-installation adjustments to make sure the screen operates effectively under real river conditions. The emphasis on monitoring and adjustments signals that performance verification and operational fine-tuning are part of the funded scope, not just construction.
Financially, the total cooperative agreement value is described as about $2.3 million, with Reclamation contributing $1.1 million in federal funds. The notice also notes that $500,000 of the federal contribution was planned to be obligated in fiscal year 2017, implying that additional obligations would follow later to complete the federal share. The listing indicates an expected award count of one and does not specify an award ceiling, consistent with a targeted intent-to-award notice rather than a competitive program with multiple grants.
Administratively, eligible applicants are identified as special district governments, and the opportunity record shows key dates: it was created on August 29, 2017, with an original closing date of September 12, 2017.
