Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR PN 19 N002
The Coulee City Park at Banks Lake refurbishment grant (Funding Opportunity Number BOR PN 19 N002) is a Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Department of the Interior funding opportunity intended to modernize and reconfigure the Coulee City Community Park, which sits on Reclamation-managed land. The project is framed as a Community Park Accessibility Project focused on bringing an aging public recreation site up to current health, safety, and accessibility expectations while improving the overall visitor experience through a revised park layout and added amenities.
The reason this award is being made without competition is tied directly to an existing long-term management relationship. Under Management and Lease Agreement No. 1-07-10-L-1577, the Town of Coulee City has managed this Reclamation land since 2001, under a 25-year agreement. Because the town is already the designated managing partner for the park, Reclamation is using a noncompetitive approach based on “Unique Qualifications” (cited as criteria 3.2.1.11.4). In practical terms, the opportunity is structured so that the town can carry out necessary upgrades as the entity already responsible for operating and maintaining the site, rather than opening the work to other applicants.
The planned scope includes substantial infrastructure improvements, specifically upgrades to the park’s sewer, water, and electrical systems. These utility improvements are intended to address documented health and safety concerns and to correct accessibility gaps that “have not been met,” which typically implies barriers for people with disabilities or deficiencies relative to accessibility standards. In addition to buried or behind-the-scenes utility work, the project also calls for implementing a new park layout and developing new amenities, suggesting the refurbishment goes beyond repairs and into a more comprehensive redesign of how the park functions for public use.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a mandatory grant within the Regional Development activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.524. Eligible applicants are limited to city or township governments, with the Town of Coulee City effectively serving as the intended recipient due to its role under the existing lease and management agreement. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an expected award count of 1 and an award ceiling of $300,000. The posting lists a creation date of March 28, 2019, and an original closing date of April 11, 2019, indicating a short application window consistent with a directed, noncompetitive award tied to an established managing partner.Apply for BOR PN 19 N002
