Under this agreement, enrollee shall provide support and technical assistance for structural and technical design standards assignments

The Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $180,832 Cooperative Agreement to National Experienced Workforce Solutions, Inc. under the Experienced Services Program (CFDA 15.070) for the period September 22, 2025 through September 30, 2026. Under this agreement, the enrollee will provide technical support and expertise in structural and technical design standards for Reclamation water infrastructure projects. Services include technical writing, leadership in design standards development, structural and drafting modeling guidance and review using industry-standard software (STADD and Revit), and high-level engineering evaluation for pumping plants, power plants, and water conveyance projects.

The Experienced Services Program funds cooperative agreements with Title V-designated nonprofits to deploy experienced workers aged 55 and older in specialized technical and professional roles that address capacity gaps within Reclamation operations. This award reflects the program's typical award size (median approximately $180,000) and supports the agency's need for temporary expertise in engineering design and infrastructure evaluation where internal staffing capacity is limited. Participants will not displace current Reclamation employees.

The enrollee will do technical writing, leadership in design standards, structural and drafting modeling guidance and review (i.e. stadd and revit), and evaluation of high level review for pumping plants, power plants, water conveyance projects.
