Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR UC 18 N011
This notice describes the Bureau of Reclamation's intent to make a single, non-competitive assistance award to the Hualapai Indian Tribe of the Hualapai Indian Reservation for participation in the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program (GCDAMP). It is explicitly not a call for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that Reclamation plans to fund a specific set of activities carried out by the Tribe so tribal cultural and religious values are represented in decision-making related to Glen Canyon Dam operations and management actions in the Grand and Glen Canyons. The planned award is a new grant agreement (not a continuation), with an anticipated federal total of $858,666 and no non-federal cost share, covering a multi-year period of performance from October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2022.
The project is rooted in federal legal and consultation requirements tied to long-term stewardship of the Grand Canyon's resources. GCDAMP exists to preserve and manage cultural and natural resources in line with the Grand Canyon Protection Act of 1992 and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). Reclamation determined that operating Glen Canyon Dam under the 2016 Record of Decision for the Long-Term Experimental and Management Plan constitutes an "undertaking" under NHPA Section 106, meaning it could affect the character of historic properties downstream. To address those obligations, Reclamation and multiple partners entered into a Programmatic Agreement that includes Reclamation, the National Park Service (Western and Rocky Mountain regions), the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, the Arizona State Historic Preservation Officer, and several tribes and tribal coalitions (including the Hualapai Tribe). That agreement, along with GCDAMP and the governing statutes, requires consultation with tribes in identifying, evaluating, and treating historic properties and traditional cultural places that could be affected by dam operations.
The core purpose of funding is to support the Hualapai Tribe's ongoing, structured involvement in GCDAMP so the Tribe can meaningfully participate in technical and policy discussions, provide culturally grounded input, and monitor places important to Hualapai heritage and traditional use within the affected area. The notice emphasizes that the Tribe has been engaged in identifying, evaluating, monitoring, and participating in the long-term management of historic properties, sacred areas, and traditional cultural-use locations connected to Hualapai interests in the Grand Canyon region. This participation is framed as essential for ensuring tribal values are present in program functions and for maintaining effective government-to-government consultation when federal actions may affect resources important to the Tribe.
The funded work is described through several task categories. First, the Tribe will assign representatives (and alternates) to the Adaptive Management Work Group (AMWG) and the Technical Work Group (TWG). AMWG typically meets twice per year (often August and February), with additional webinar meetings as needed, while TWG meets more frequently, about five to six times per year, with related meetings such as the Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center annual reporting meeting. The Tribe's representatives are expected to review meeting materials and products, participate in discussions, and contribute tribal perspectives. The Tribe will also act as a liaison between GCDAMP entities and tribal leadership and staff; take part in ad hoc groups that intersect with tribal concerns, such as cultural resources-focused groups; communicate tribal perspectives to Department of the Interior agencies and processes dealing with Grand Canyon cultural resources; and provide updates and recommendations on the condition and status of cultural resources to relevant GCDAMP bodies.
Second, the project includes conducting government-to-government consultations when needed, reflecting the federal trust and consultation responsibilities embedded in NHPA and the Grand Canyon Protection Act framework. Third, it funds annual monitoring of cultural resources in the Grand and Glen Canyons following tribal protocols, including participation in yearly river trips as part of field-based monitoring. Fourth, it supports the practical capacity needed for this participation, including supplies and equipment such as computers, printers, and office and field supplies.
On the federal side, Reclamation indicates it does not expect "substantial involvement" beyond typical grant stewardship. In practice, that means the Tribe is expected to carry out the work independently, while Reclamation's role is limited to standard oversight functions like monitoring performance and providing technical assistance if the recipient requests it.
The award is justified as a single-source (non-competitive) action under Department of the Interior policy because of the Tribe's "unique qualifications." The notice states that only the Hualapai Tribe can provide specific information about its religious and cultural values relevant to evaluating how dam operations and associated actions might affect cultural resources in the Grand and Glen Canyons. This information is described as unique to the Tribe and largely unknown to outside entities, making competition impracticable because no other organization can legitimately substitute for the Tribe in providing that cultural knowledge and perspective.
Finally, the statutory authority cited is Public Law 102-575, the Grand Canyon Protection Act, particularly Section 1807 and the long-term monitoring and consultation direction described in Section 1805. The notice highlights that the Secretary is authorized to use certain funds (including power revenue from the Colorado River Storage Project) to support the environmental impact statement work, supporting studies, and long-term monitoring programs and activities. It also underscores that long-term monitoring must be established and implemented in consultation with, among others, Indian tribes and the public. The opportunity is cataloged under CFDA 15.511 (Cultural Resources Management), is issued by the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, and lists Reclamation's point of contact as Bill R. Chada in the Upper Colorado Region.Apply for BOR UC 18 N011
