Grant Description

The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) intends to issue a grant agreement to University of California, Santa Cruz under the authority of Catalog of Federal 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 $80,475.00 with Reclamation providing $80,475.00 in Fiscal Year 2013. The purpose of this project is to conduct a study to understand juvenile winter-run Chinook salmon growth, migration, and survival as these are heavily affected by water temperature and flow dynamics of the San Francisco Bay-Delta estuary. The principal objectives of this experiment are to: (1) Develop a model that incorporates water temperature, salinity, and strontium values to generate an accurate high resolution map of the area; (2) Analyze adult otoliths to determine growth rates; and (3) Validate the model and results by comparing it to archived juvenile otolith samples. (Refer to the Notice of Intent to Award Announcement No. R13AS20036 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. This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals.
