Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR CGB 20 N011
The Derby Dam Fish Screen Project is a Bureau of Reclamation (Department of the Interior) financial assistance opportunity planned as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.517 (Environment). The agency announced its intent to make a single award, with an overall agreement value of up to $34,000,000 and $14,000,000 identified as Federal funding for FY20. The funding opportunity number is BOR CGB 20 N011, it was created on March 31, 2020, and it listed an original closing date of April 14, 2020. The eligible applicant category shown is nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), and the notice indicates an expected number of awards of one.
The purpose of the project is to design, build, and commission a horizontal fish screen system located below the headworks of the Truckee Canal at Derby Dam. In practical terms, the project is focused on constructing an engineered screening facility that helps manage fish passage and separation at a major water diversion point. The fish screen is described as a complete system, meaning it is not just the screen surface itself, but a set of integrated structures and supporting features required to safely guide fish and operate the facility under real canal conditions.
The notice lays out the major elements that would be included in the fish screen structure itself, such as an attenuation bay, taper walls, screen material, and weir walls. It also specifies the related appurtenant (supporting) structures needed for full function and operations, including inlet flumes, gate structures, fish return structures, conveyance flumes, and bypass structures, along with buildings and any other facilities necessary for proper operation of the fish screen. Taken together, these components reflect a full design-and-construction scope that includes hydraulic control, fish handling/return pathways, operational gates, and the physical infrastructure to operate, maintain, and monitor the system.
This announcement is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award to Farmers Conservation Alliance LLC, not an open, competitive solicitation. Reclamation notes that the decision not to compete the agreement is based on Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14 (B)(4), and emphasizes that choosing not to compete is solely at the government’s discretion. Because it is not a request for proposals, the practical takeaway is that other organizations are not being invited to submit competing applications under this notice; it is a public notification tied to a planned, directed award.
For additional details, the announcement points readers to the Notice of Intent to Award Announcement No. BOR-CGB-20-N011. Administrative questions were directed to Leanne Henderson, Grants Management Specialist, at lhenderson@usbr.gov.Apply for BOR CGB 20 N011
