Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR MP 18 N031
The Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Watercraft Inspection Stations opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BOR MP 18 N031) is a Bureau of Reclamation discretionary grant in the environmental category focused on stopping the spread of invasive aquatic organisms through routine boat inspections and public outreach. The grant is planned as a financial assistance agreement issued under federal authorities tied to the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, including CFDA authority cited in the announcement, and is being administered under Department of the Interior policy referenced in the notice. Although the listing shows an eligibility category that includes federally recognized tribal governments, the narrative of the notice makes clear that Reclamation intends to award this specific agreement to the Nevada Department of Wildlife.
The total anticipated award amount is $49,910, with Reclamation providing the full $49,910 using Fiscal Year 2018 funds, and an award ceiling listed at $49,910. The work is centered on Lahontan Reservoir in Nevada and is aimed at maintaining seasonal inspection coverage during the primary boating months, when the risk of transporting invasive species from one waterbody to another is highest.
The project objectives are straightforward and operational. First, it is meant to prevent both the spread of existing aquatic invasive species and any new introductions into the reservoir system. Second, it supports staffing for three watercraft inspection stations operating from April through mid-September, contingent on water levels being sufficient for boat launching at Lahontan Reservoir. Third, the stations are expected to be open to the public every day of the week, running long daily hours (generally 8 to 10 hours per day, 7 days per week) to match real-world boating patterns and reduce the chance that boats bypass inspection due to limited operating windows. Fourth, the program includes an education component at the inspection stations, meaning staff are not only checking watercraft but also informing boaters about AIS risks and prevention practices.
This announcement is a Notice of Intent to Award rather than an open solicitation. It explicitly states that it is not requesting competitive proposals and that the government has discretion to decide not to compete the assistance action under the cited departmental manual provision. In other words, the posting functions primarily as a public notice that Reclamation plans to make this award as a directed agreement rather than running a competition.
For additional details or administrative questions, the notice directs inquiries to the listed Grants Management Specialist, Crystal Oliver, at coliver@usbr.gov. The original closing date shown for the notice is August 21, 2018, and the posting was created on August 7, 2018.Apply for BOR MP 18 N031
