Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR MP 16 N017
The Water Quality Monitoring of the Summit Lake Watershed opportunity is a Bureau of Reclamation discretionary grant (CFDA 15.519) intended to fund the Summit Lake Paiute Tribe in restarting and strengthening water quality monitoring work across the Summit Lake watershed, including on the Tribe's Reservation lands. The announcement is issued as a Notice of Intent to Award under the authority of Public Law 108-7 (Energy and Water Development Appropriations, 2003, Division D, Title II, Section 201). The planned agreement amount is $200,000, with Reclamation providing the full $200,000 from Fiscal Year 2016 funds.
The core purpose of the award is practical and programmatic: bring back routine water quality sampling and monitoring that had lapsed or needs rebuilding, and use that renewed monitoring to better understand watershed conditions over time. The work is organized around three main objectives. First, the Tribe will monitor water quality within the Summit Lake Watershed, which typically implies collecting field measurements and samples at established locations and intervals to capture current conditions. Second, the Tribe will identify trends in water quality within the watershed, meaning the collected data will be analyzed over time to detect changes, patterns, and potential emerging issues that could affect aquatic habitat, public health, or other beneficial uses. Third, the Tribe will update water quality procedures and management plans, using the monitoring results and lessons learned to refresh standard operating procedures, refine sampling protocols, improve quality assurance approaches, and strengthen longer-term watershed management planning.
From an eligibility and competition standpoint, the notice is directed to a single recipient: the Summit Lake Paiute Tribe, a federally recognized Native American tribal government, which is listed as the eligible applicant type. The Bureau of Reclamation explicitly states that this notice is not a request for competitive proposals and that the decision not to compete the financial assistance is at the Government's discretion under Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(4). In practice, that means other entities are not being invited to apply through this announcement, and the agency is signaling an intended sole-source type award to the Tribe.
Key administrative details reflected in the source data include the opportunity number BOR-MP-16-N017, an environment-related funding activity category, an expected number of awards of 1, an award ceiling of $200,000, and an original closing date of 2016-04-21 (consistent with the notice period associated with the intent to award).
