In accordance with Department of Interior Guidance (505 DM 2), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service hereby provides notice of its intent to make a single source award of $972,800.00 to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation under a multi-year cooperative agreement (01/01/2013 to 12/31/2017) to engage public, for-profit, and non-profit organizations in developing and implementing priority water and habitat restoration projects in riparian areas of the Colorado River, including its Delta.
