Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR GP 19 N011
The Bureau of Reclamation (BOR), within the Department of the Interior and specifically its Great Plains Region, issued a notice of intent to award a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention Activities at Granby, Grand Lake, and Shadow Mountain." The purpose of the notice is to publicly communicate BORs plan to provide funding for prevention work aimed at reducing the risk and impacts of aquatic invasive species at three connected water bodies in Colorado: Lake Granby, Grand Lake, and Shadow Mountain Reservoir. These locations are heavily used for recreation and are part of an interconnected system where invasive species can spread quickly if introduced, so prevention measures are typically focused on stopping introductions before they occur rather than trying to manage an established infestation.
The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number BOR GP 19 N011 and falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category, with CFDA number 15.517. The planned funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which usually indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply issuing funds. In practice, that can include coordinated planning, shared oversight, joint monitoring approaches, reporting requirements, and alignment with broader regional or federal invasive species strategies. The notice anticipates a single award, and the listed award ceiling is $370,041, meaning the total federal amount for the project is not expected to exceed that figure.
The intended recipient named in the notice is Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW). Although the eligibility field is shown as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced elsewhere, the language of the notice makes clear that BOR intends to direct the award to CPW rather than run a broad competitive process. This kind of notice is often used when the agency has determined that a specific partner is best positioned to carry out the work, such as a state wildlife agency that already manages on-the-ground aquatic invasive species programs, maintains trained inspection staff, and coordinates with local marinas, boat ramps, and law enforcement.
While the notice does not list a detailed scope of work in the excerpt provided, "Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention Activities" at these lakes commonly includes actions such as watercraft inspection and decontamination operations at boat ramps, staffing and training for inspectors, public education and outreach to boaters and anglers, signage and informational materials, compliance support, and coordination with local and state partners to ensure consistent prevention practices. Prevention programs in the Rocky Mountain region frequently focus on high-risk invaders like zebra and quagga mussels, which can hitchhike on boats and equipment and cause major ecological and infrastructure damage, including impacts to water delivery systems, hydropower facilities, and recreational fisheries. Because BOR operates and manages water infrastructure and relies on sustained reservoir function, invasive species prevention directly supports BORs operational and environmental stewardship responsibilities.
Key administrative dates included in the posting are a creation date of August 19, 2019, and an original closing date of September 2, 2019. Even though it lists a closing date like a typical funding announcement, the text is explicit that it is a notice of intent to award, meaning it is primarily a transparency step announcing the agencys planned action. Overall, the opportunity centers on funding CPWs prevention work to help keep aquatic invasive species from being introduced or spread at Granby, Grand Lake, and Shadow Mountain, using a cooperative agreement structure and a maximum federal funding level of $370,041 for a single expected award.Apply for BOR GP 19 N011
