Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR MP 18 N015
The "Pyramid Lake AIS Station Roof" opportunity is a Bureau of Reclamation (Department of the Interior) financial assistance action focused on aquatic invasive species (AIS) prevention at Pyramid Lake. The agency planned to make a cooperative agreement with Pyramid Lake Fisheries under CFDA 15.517, using authorities tied to the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act of 1934 (including later amendments and related provisions). The total estimated award amount is $45,109, with Reclamation providing the full $45,109 in Fiscal Year 2018. The funding activity area is environmental protection, specifically actions that reduce the risk of AIS being introduced or spread through watercraft movement.
The practical purpose of the project is to support and extend the functionality of an existing AIS decontamination operation. By funding improvements associated with the AIS station roof, the project is intended to help prevent the spread of invasive organisms from contaminated boats to Pyramid Lake and other connected or nearby waters, reduce the chance that new AIS are introduced into Pyramid Lake, and protect water quality, native wildlife, and recreational fisheries by slowing or preventing AIS establishment. A key outcome emphasized in the notice is extending the life of the current AIS decontamination station, which suggests the roof work is part of keeping the station operational and effective over time, likely by protecting equipment, staff work areas, and decontamination processes from weather-related wear.
Eligibility for this opportunity is limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and the notice indicates an anticipated single award. Importantly, this announcement is a notice of intent to award and not a competitive solicitation. The government explicitly states it does not intend to seek competing proposals, citing the relevant Departmental Manual basis for a non-competitive determination, which is entirely at the government’s discretion. The opportunity was posted with a creation date of April 4, 2018, and an original closing date of April 18, 2018, with an award ceiling matching the total planned funding amount of $45,109.
