Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Office of Trust Services, Division of Water and Power

Technical Assistance & Administrative Support Services Statement of Work

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Division of Water and Power (DWP) requires support services to assist in all aspects of the DWP mission. DWP comprises three Branches, the Branch of Irrigation and Power (BIP), the Safety of Dams Branch (SOD) and the Branch of Water Resources (BWR). The required support includes general administrative and technical expertise with regard to DWP processes and functions. The contractor shall provide technical expertise across a broad range of technologies and disciplines.

It is the mission of the DWP to promote self-determination, economic opportunities, and public safety through the sound management of irrigation, dam, and power facilities owned or operated by the BIA. In support of this mission, DWP is committed to the following:

● Providing quality services and improved accountability, including protecting and preserving life, property, and trust resources.

● Assisting tribes in the management of water resources through measurement, analysis, and modeling.

● Promoting the transfer of management, administration, operation, maintenance, and rehabilitation of irrigation, dam, and power facilities to tribes, irrigators, and water user associations.

● Fostering communication, cooperation, and consultation among Federal, State, tribal, and local organizations related to water resources, irrigation, power, dam safety, security, and emergency management activities.

● Hiring, training, and retaining highly qualified personnel to manage, operate, maintain, construct, and rehabilitate DWP infrastructure (and to conduct financial matters that support these activities).

● Promoting state-of-the-art technologies to improve the management and conservation of water resources in a sustainable manner, while maximizing economic benefits.

● Encouraging modern business practices and innovative business techniques to meet the ever-changing needs of our mission.

The DWP is responsible for the management, operation, maintenance, rehabilitation, asset management, and Operations and Maintenance (O&M) billing and collection of BIA-owned irrigation and power projects; and under the Safety of Dams (SOD) program, for maintenance and rehabilitation of dams on Indian lands. The DWP is also responsible for providing policy, oversight, advisory, and technical support to BIA regions, agencies, and projects on water resources, irrigation, power, SOD, and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) hydropower licensing and re-licensing.

Safety of Dam Branch:

The mission of the SOD program is to ensure dams are adequately maintained, managed, and monitored to reduce the potential loss of human life and property damage resulting from dam failures. Furthermore, the BIA SOD program endeavors to ensure that program dams are maintained in satisfactory condition on a long-term basis and to promote awareness and access to the beneficial uses achieved through public investments in BIA dam infrastructure. These dams comprise a significant part of the water resources infrastructure and trust assets for the various Indian reservations.

The portfolio of SOD program dams is managed using a risk-informed approach. The primary emphasis is to protect downstream residents from undue risks, utilizing a risk-informed decision process to prioritize risk-reduction actions. Continuous and periodic dam inspections and evaluations are critical to an effective SOD program. The robust risk-informed approach is a best practice adopted to develop balanced and informed assessments of the safety of program dams and to evaluate, prioritize, and justify dam safety decisions.

Key SOD program activities include:

Risk Management and Risk Reduction: To effectively utilize SOD Program resources, a risk-informed approach is used to prioritize dam safety assessments, to aid in decision making, to protect downstream populations from the consequences of dam failure, to support justification for risk-reduction actions where needed, and to prioritize funding for SOD projects. Risk-reduction actions include repair and rehabilitation to address static, seismic, and/or hydrologic potential failure modes.

Emergency Management (EM) and Early Warning Systems (EWSs): EM helps reduce the likelihood of life loss and damage to property from a dam failure. EWSs and EAPs are developed, implemented, and maintained. The BIA conducts tabletop and functional exercises of all EAPs on a regular basis. The program is responsible for installing and maintaining EWSs on dams. With the assistance of Tribes, BIA has installed an EWS on nearly all BIA Program dams across the United States. The EWSs are currently connected to the BIA’s National Monitoring Center (NMC) in Ronan, Montana. This facility is operated by the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes on the Flathead Indian Reservation.

Inspections and Evaluations: These activities provide key information necessary to determine the overall condition of dams. BIA schedules annual inspections in addition to Periodic Reviews (PRs), and Comprehensive Reviews (CRs) on rotating 10-year cycles. Risk assessments integrate the analytical methods of risk analysis along with the sound professional judgment of engineers, architect and engineer (A/E) consultants, and review boards to determine reasonable actions which will minimize risk at BIA facilities.

Maintenance and Repairs: Recurring maintenance and repairs are performed to keep dams from deteriorating into an unsafe condition. Annual maintenance is performed on EWS facilities and repairs are made on dams with critical repair needs.

Security: Security assessments are performed to ensure adequate security for key dam facilities and structures against credible threats. Appropriate protective measures are implemented.

Branch of Irrigation and Power:

The mission of the BIA Office of Trust Services, DWP is to support self-determination, economic opportunities, and public safety through the sound management of irrigation, dam, and power facilities under its jurisdiction. The goal of the Indian Irrigation Program is to improve the management of land and natural resource assets through the delivery of water consistent with applicable state and Federal law, in an environmentally responsible and cost-efficient manner.

Indian Affairs has seventeen BIA Indian Irrigation Projects in its asset inventory, which deliver water to over 780,000 acres, through 6,000 miles of canals and more than 52,000 irrigation structures. Fifteen of the Indian Irrigation Projects are revenue-generating, in which they derive all or part of their operating funds from annual assessments to irrigation customers. The annual receipt funds for the fifteen revenue-generating Indian Irrigation Projects are approximately $36 million (FY18). Due in large part to the age of the infrastructure and lack of funding, significant deferred maintenance has accrued and is estimated to be $791 million (FY19).

The BIA has three power utilities, Colorado River Agency – Electrical Services (CRAES), San Carlos Irrigation Project (SCIP) – Power Division and Mission Valley Power (MVP). The power projects operate and maintain distribution systems, similar to electrical cooperatives. All three power projects rely 100% on revenues from users. SCIP and CRAES are federal power projects located in Arizona operated by the BIA. MVP is a federal power project located in western Montana operated under a P.L. 93-638 contract with the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes. All three utilities were originally constructed as part of their associated irrigation projects but are currently operated separately from the irrigation projects.

The Mission of the three utilities is to provide economical, reliable, and available electrical power for residential and commercial use as well as a development tool for tribal self-determination projects by their associated tribes. They accomplish this mission by providing electric services throughout the respective Reservations, serving both Native and non-Indian constituents.

Key Irrigation and Power program support activities include:

O&M Billing, Collection and Rate Setting: The National Irrigation Information Management System (NIIMS) provides billing, collection, and rate setting functionality and support activities for 16 Indian Irrigation Projects, primarily using contract staff. The ability for water users to submit payments via credit cards and electronic funds transfer has been provided through Treasury's pay.gov system. Scanning of checks through Treasury's OTCnet module enables faster posting of payments as well as increasing internal controls. Contractor support includes technical accounting, administrative support including all billing and collection related activities.

Asset Management: All facility management reporting for the DWP, including deferred maintenance, is conducted using Maximo, an industry-leading state-of-the-art solution for property and maintenance management. This tool is being fully deployed for irrigation projects, power projects, and dams. Its primary focus is the management of real property assets and will be accomplished in part through implementation of the MAXIMO® Asset Management System.

Maximo system software is the Departmental required standard for asset and facility maintenance management.

Decision Support Systems: Contract staff is key in the development and ongoing maintenance of Decision Support tools that integrate geospatial data with funding updates, completion status, failure impacts, Maximo information, existing reports, and other data sets supporting DWP Programs.

Technical Assistance: DWP provides technical assistance and Program oversight in a variety of areas including tracking the 6,000 miles of canals and more than 52,000 irrigation structures, support for the 17 Indian Irrigation Projects and three BIA Power Utilities, map development, Program Reviews, funds management, and integrating a variety of information for decision support. Technical contractor expertise is critical to the success of the program.

Branch of Water Resources:

The mission of the BIA Branch of Water Resources is to provide the necessary technical research, studies, and other information for Indian Tribes and Alaskan Natives to serve as informed and prudent managers of adjudicated decreed or of water otherwise appurtenant to tribal and or Indian trust lands including public domain allotments.

Key Water Resources programs include:

Water Rights Negotiations/Litigation Services: The Water Rights Negotiations/Litigation program is intended to provide technical consultation, and administrative cost support for tribes engaged in the protection of Indian Water Rights. The BIA staff coordinates with the United States Department of Justice, the Department of Interior, Office of the Solicitor, and the Secretary’s Indian Water Rights Office on actions taken in pursuit of litigation/ settlement resolution.

This program provides the major financial support for the United States to assert and defend Indian water rights claims. The funds are used by the United States and tribes for activities associated with establishing and protecting Indian water rights through negotiations and/or litigation. Program funding is critical for supporting and advancing on-going Indian water rights litigation cases as well as Federal and tribal negotiations being conducted to secure Indian water rights in lieu of litigation.

Funding for Water Rights Negotiation and Litigation projects is determined using Indian Affairs’ published process (Notice of Revised Instructions for Preparing and Prioritizing Water Program Funding Requests, Federal Register, Vol. 70, No. 201, October 19, 2005). Each year under this process, Indian Affairs solicits technical water rights funding proposals for eligible projects from tribes and regional offices. All proposals are evaluated and scored by a review team and prioritized accordingly. The higher scoring proposals are funded at various levels, subject to the constraints of available yearly discretionary allocations.

Water Management Planning & Pre-Development: The Water Management, Planning, and Pre- Development (WMPPD) program supports utilization of reservation water resources. The program allows Tribes to perform technical studies and to develop other information necessary for tribal communities to serve in a manner consistent with sound conservative economic principles that enhance the quality of life, environment, and economic conditions. The program assists in developing and maintaining a managerial environment which ensures that tribal water resource programs are conducted consistent with applicable laws, regulations, court decisions, and negotiated settlements of water rights claims. The Program provides funding for crucial tasks involving protection of tribal water resources necessary for sustainable water supply on the Reservations and public domain allotments.

The Program is administered through a competitive funding process listed in the above Water Rights Negotiation/Litigation program in the of above paragraph. Proposals are evaluated concurrently with this program. Funding Priorities for the Program include technical assistance to the Tribes, project funding for water surveys including quantification studies and characterization of water concerns, as well as training necessary to develop human capacity for water resources management.

Water Resources Technician Training Program: The Bureau of Indian Affairs Water Resources Technician Training Program also known as the Native American Water Corps is designed to provide technical knowledge for high school graduates, college under-graduates and possibly college graduates to gain opportunities, and to explore career goals in the water-based sciences with their tribal government, and/or possible federal water resources positions throughout the country. The objective of the training program is to provide native students an introduction to water resource management-based principles on practical/technical skills and provide an understanding of the fundamental theories and practices related to basic surface water, groundwater and water quality topics. The long-term goal of the WRTT is to build and strengthen the capacity of participating federal government agencies and tribes to find qualified tribal personnel to fill entry level positions and/ or to stimulate the students to pursue further education in the pursuit of water-based sciences that will produce future water resources leaders.

The Play-Learn-Serve work goals of the Department of Interior (DOI) has been incorporated into the Native American Water Corps program by combining field trips, guest speakers, classes and the hands-on internships with tribal or government agency mentors to keep the students interested in water resources and to stimulate creative thought to help benefit participating organizations which provides mentoring to the Native Interns.

Attorney Fees/Litigation Support Services: Funds from this program allow the tribes to retain experts that can help the Tribes assess and respond to a variety of ecological threats to natural resources that are the subject of treaty-Indian trust rights, both on and off reservation. Projects considered for funding within this program are requests for Litigation support services and requests to support Attorney fees.

Financial assistance for Attorney Fees requested by tribes are used to procure legal services to assist the Tribes in establishing or defending tribal rights or protecting tribal trust resources that are guaranteed through treaty, executive order, statute, court decision, or other legal authority.

Congress has directed that the Federal Government represent the tribes in “all suits in law and equity.” Occasionally, the Federal Government cannot represent Indian interests for various reasons, including conflicts of interest. Tribes compete for funding that meet the criteria and exceptions identified in 25 CFR Part 89.40 through .43, which include situations where legal representation is denied or cannot be provided to tribes by the Office of the Solicitor or the United States Department of Justice. Payments for court-ordered settlements that may include payment of attorney fees and expenses are also made from these funds.
