Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR MP 17 N024
The Fremont Weir Adult Fish Passage Modification Project is a federal financial assistance opportunity announced by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, focused on improving fish movement and survival in and around the Fremont Weir area in California. The funding is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means Reclamation expects to have substantial involvement during project implementation rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The project sits within the environmental funding activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.512 under the Central Valley Project Improvement Act (Public Law 102-575), specifically Title XXXIV, Section 3406(b)(1) and Section 3407(e), reflecting a legal mandate to support fish and wildlife protections and related habitat improvements in the Central Valley Project context.
This particular notice is a non-competitive “Notice of Intent to Award” (Funding Opportunity Number BOR-MP-17-N024). In practical terms, it is not a solicitation seeking proposals from the public. Instead, Reclamation is signaling its intent to award the agreement directly to the California Department of Water Resources, with eligibility limited to state governments and an expectation of a single award. The announcement also notes that the government’s decision not to compete the award is made under Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(2)(4), and that this determination is at the government’s discretion.
Financially, the estimated total agreement amount is about $6,782,324.08 (shown as an award ceiling of $6,782,325 in the source data). Reclamation’s planned contribution is $4,800,000 in Fiscal Year 2017, implying the remaining amount would come from other sources or additional funding contributions associated with the agreement. The opportunity was created on August 25, 2017, with an original closing date of September 8, 2017, which in this context functions more like an administrative timeline for the notice rather than a deadline for competitive submissions.
The project’s goals are centered on fish passage and reducing fish mortality risks associated with flood events and infrastructure barriers. First, it aims to provide better passage opportunities for federally listed and state-listed salmonids, as well as green sturgeon, during and immediately after Fremont Weir overtopping events. Overtopping occurs when high flows cause water to spill over the weir, creating temporary floodplain connectivity that fish may use for movement; improving conditions during this window can be critical for migration and survival. Second, the project seeks to reduce fish stranding in the Fremont Weir Wildlife Area, addressing situations where fish can become trapped in isolated waters as floodwaters recede. Third, it targets improvements at agricultural road crossings in the Tule Canal to remove or lessen barriers that can block fish movement, which often involves modifying culverts or crossing structures to allow fish to pass more easily.
