archived

The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) intends to issue a cooperative agreement to San Francisco State University under the authority of catalog for domestic assistance (CFDA) 15.512, Central Valley Project Improvement Act, Public Law 102-575, Section 3406(b)(1) and 3407(e). Estimated total amount of agreement is $277,850.00. The purpose of the agreement is to develop quantitative life history models of fish population dynamics, specifically delta smelt and at least one other species; to quantify the effects of reservoir releases, gate operations and changes in the quantity and the timing of export pumping has on those dynamics and to predict the effects of these actions. The principal objectives of this project are to: (i) develop a Delta Smelt life history model; and (ii) develop multiple species life history models. (Refer to the Notice of Intent to Award Announcement No. R12AS20011 for additional information) A Determination by the Government not to compete this proposed financial assistance based upon Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(2) & (4) is solely within the discretion of the Government.
