Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR PN 17 N004
The Middle Entiat Large Wood Placement opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BOR PN 17 N004) is a Bureau of Reclamation discretionary cooperative agreement focused on natural resource restoration work in the Entiat River area. The core purpose of the funded effort is to support Chelan County Natural Resource Department (CCNRD) in completing the upfront, enabling work needed for large wood placement projects, specifically the procurement, delivery, and staging of large wood that will later be used to build engineered log jams and related instream habitat features. The project is framed as implementation support rather than research or planning, with an emphasis on getting materials, sites, and logistics ready so construction can proceed efficiently and safely.
Under the proposed scope, CCNRD would be responsible for acquiring suitable large wood, transporting it to designated areas, and preparing staging locations. Staging preparation includes practical site readiness tasks such as weed treatment and improvements to access routes so equipment and crews can move materials and operate effectively. CCNRD would also handle the administrative and coordination side of implementation by securing landowner agreements, obtaining local authorizations and permits as needed, and working with landowners and other stakeholders to align expectations, access, and scheduling. A major operational component is the planned use of helicopters for moving and placing wood in areas where ground access is limited or where aerial placement is the safest or least disruptive option. To support that, CCNRD would develop the helicopter contracting package, advertise the contract, make an award, and then manage and administer the contractor’s work. The helicopter scope is described as both staging wood for later construction and carrying out heli-built log jam installation in the project areas.
In terms of funding details, the announcement lists an award ceiling of $2,084,889 and anticipates a single award. The CFDA number associated with the program is 15.517. While the eligibility field notes nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), the announcement explicitly states it is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as public notice of the Bureau of Reclamation’s intent to fund the described project activities without full and open competition, meaning the agency is signaling a planned, directed award rather than conducting a competitive grant solicitation. The original closing date shown is July 21, 2017, and the creation date is July 7, 2017, reinforcing that this posting functions primarily as a transparency notice about an intended funding action rather than an open call for proposals.Apply for BOR PN 17 N004
