Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR MP 19 N018
The Suisun Marsh Preservation Agreement grant opportunity is a federal funding action from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, designed to support ongoing preservation and habitat management work in Suisun Marsh in California. It is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, meaning the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out, rather than simply issuing funds with minimal interaction. The funding falls under CFDA 15.563 and is authorized by Public Law 99-546, the Suisun Marsh Preservation Act (Sections 201-204), which is specifically aimed at protecting the Marsh and addressing impacts associated with major water management projects.
This particular announcement is a notice of intent to make a single award to the California Department of Water Resources, which is the only listed eligible applicant category (state governments) and the named intended recipient. The estimated total value of the agreement is $15,448,962, with an award ceiling equal to that amount and an expectation of one award. The purpose of the funding is to carry out commitments made under the 2015 Suisun Marsh Preservation Agreement, with an emphasis on practical actions that maintain or improve the Marsh's water conditions and ecological function.
The project goals are laid out in three main parts. First, the funding supports fulfillment of the commitments in the 2015 agreement, which generally refers to coordinated measures to preserve the Marsh's wetland resources and the management framework that helps keep the agreement operational. Second, it targets maintenance of both water quality and water quantity, along with improvements to wetland habitat, specifically to mitigate adverse effects on Suisun Marsh linked to operations of the Central Valley Project (CVP) and to address some portion of the harmful effects of upstream diversions. Third, it supports improvements to wildlife habitat in the Marsh, but with a clear constraint: habitat enhancement must be compatible with other authorized purposes of the CVP and the State Water Project, reflecting the reality that Suisun Marsh sits within a heavily managed, multi-objective water system where ecological goals must be balanced with broader water supply and operational requirements.
A key administrative point is that this is not a competitive opportunity. The Bureau of Reclamation states that it is proceeding under an internal policy basis (Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(4)) that allows the government to decide not to compete the financial assistance action, and that determination is solely at the government's discretion. In practical terms, this notice is informational rather than a call for applications; it signals the agency's planned award to the California Department of Water Resources and does not invite proposals from other entities. For additional specifics, the notice directs readers to the related Notice of Intent to Award (BOR-MP-19-N018), and provides a point of contact for questions: Christina Munoz, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by email at cmunoz@usbr.gov. The opportunity record shows it was created on September 3, 2019, with an original closing date of September 16, 2019, consistent with a short administrative window typical of noncompetitive intent-to-award postings.Apply for BOR MP 19 N018
