Executive Summary The Butte Creek Sutter Bypass West Borrow Canal (WBC) Weir #1 is a dilapidated weir structure and is no longer able to be used as a weir for the purposes of diverting and delivering water for agricultural use and to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Sutter National Wildlife Refuge (Sutter NWR). The USFWS seek the design and permitting required for the partial removal of the weir and construction of a rock ramp that will maintain water surface elevations adequate to provide reliable water diversion rates and flows sufficient for fish passage. A feasibility study and report for Weir 1 has already been completed; final design and permitting are the next logical step in addressing the conditions at the weir. The flows required for diversion and passage should be consistent with minimum flow agreement requirements (M&T Ranch Agreement Decree Diversion 50) as well as flows through the fish passage structure at the Giusti Weir, located approximately 3.75 mile upstream. The flows of Butte Creek are diverted past the natural outlet to the Sacramento River (known as the Butte Slough Outfall Gates and under most conditions are directed downstream through the Butte Slough. The Butte Slough is bifurcated at a point just upstream of the State Route 20 bridge crossing, identified as the East-West Diversion Weir. The East-West Diversion splits the flows of Butte Slough to approximately 60% to the East and 40% to the West side borrow canals.

Butte Slough above the East-West Diversion Weir is capable of handling a flow of approximately 2,000 cfs within its natural banks (Jones & Stokes 2002).

The mission of the USFWS is “working with others to conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people”. Fish and Aquatic Conservation is integral program within the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and supports the mission by working with partners to achieve benefits for aquatic species and their habitats. This project helps meet FWS Fish and Aquatic Conservation goals of a program working together to deliver resilient habitats, healthy fish, connected people, and strong partnerships.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Program Goals

• Funds under this award will be used to complete permitting and 100% construction-ready designs for the modification of Weir 1 with a rock ramp, including cost estimates. The project entails design for the partial removal of the existing weir and fish ladder structures while the existing crest elevation is maintained. The design will include construction of a passable rock ramp extending downstream of the remaining weir https://sam.gov/content/entity-registration https://sam.gov/content/help https://sam.gov/content/help structures and tie into the downstream channel grade. Designs should include extending the rock ramp laterally to stabilize erosional issues in the stream.

This will include facilitating, planning, and providing notes from meetings with the Technical Advisory Committee, composing of members from United States Fish and Wildlife Service, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, California Department of Water Resources and National Marine Fisheries Service.

Developing the final design will entail refining design details, updating and expanding cost estimates for construction, outlining long-term O&M requirements, and potentially also creating a monitoring and/or adaptive management plan to address permitting and program requirements. Additional hydraulic modeling and analysis which support design development for adult and juvenile fish passage criteria and to further assess the potential for any negative impacts may be considered for inclusion in the proposal. Considerations for including other native fishes (i.e., Green Sturgeon, Pacific Lamprey) as targets for setting passage criteria in the design should also be considered.

Program Description The Red Bluff Fish and Wildlife Office (RBFWO) is soliciting proposals for the completion of 100% design and permitting for a partial weir removal and installation of a rock ramp at Weir 1 on Butte Creek – Sutter Bypass West Borrow Canal. Improving water diversion ability and sport fish passage on Butte Creek in the Central Valley is a regional priority.

Eligibility Review During the eligibility review, the application is checked for timely submission, completed packages (see Application Documents above) and alignment with the requirements of this announcement. The Federal agency may remove an application if it does not pass the eligibility review.

FWS conducts a review of the SAM.gov Exclusions database for all applicant entities and their key project personnel prior to award. The Bureau cannot award funds to entities or their key project personnel identified in the SAM.gov Exclusions database as ineligible, prohibited/restricted or otherwise excluded from receiving Federal contracts, certain subcontracts, and certain Federal assistance and benefits, as their ineligibility condition applies to this Federal program. FWS will remove an application if it does not include: a completed SF-424 and SF-424A forms, a project narrative, and a budget narrative.

If an applicant selected for funding hasn't finished their SAM.gov registration (see 2 CFR 25.200 and 2 CFR 25.110) when the federal agency is ready to make an award, we may decide that the applicant is ineligible for the award and choose to grant it to someone else. Please refer 2 CFR

25.205 for more information.

Prior to making an award, the DOI checks the anticipated recipient and their key project personnel against the current list of prohibited or restricted persons or entities in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) Exclusions database. We are prohibited from making an award if a recipient or any key personnel are found ineligible, prohibited, restricted, or otherwise excluded from receiving or participating in an award, as their ineligibility condition applies to this program.

If removed from consideration for ineligibility, the Federal agency will notify the applicant in writing.

Merit Review Two Fish and Wildlife Service staff biologists (one from RBFWO and one from Sacramento River National Wildlife Refuge – Sutter Wildlife National Refuge) and at least two biologist or engineer external to the Service will review the applications. Applicants selected for funding may require revision based on internal and/or external review comments. The selection recommendation of the review team (both Federal and external reviewers) will be provided to the RBFWO Project Leader, who is the Selection Official. The Selection Official will make the final award decision. All applicants will be notified of the results of the selection process by the Grants/Agreements Assistant.

Goals should reflect the overall purpose of improving salmonid passage and connectivity in the West Borrow Canal.

Methods must describe technical approaches in sufficient detail to demonstrate feasibility, including how hydrologic, hydraulic, geomorphic, biological, and engineering considerations will be integrated throughout design development.

Evaluation Criterion 7 (10 points): Project proposals need to show that the proposed budget is reasonable, justified, and aligned with the scope of work and technical complexity of the project.

Applicants must provide sufficient detail to show that costs are realistic for the level of effort required to complete fish passage design in a complex flood bypass environment. Proposals should demonstrate cost-effectiveness through efficient use of resources, avoidance of unnecessary effort, and minimization of redundant efforts.

Evaluation Criterion 8 (5 points): Applicants need to show the ability to effectively manage project communication, coordination, and reporting requirements associated with a multi-agency Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), as well as timely completion of all grant agreement tasks and deliverables. Proposals should describe the applicant’s approach to maintaining consistent communication with project partners, providing clear and timely technical updates, and ensuring that project milestones, reporting requirements, and deliverables are completed on schedule.

Evaluation Criterion 9 (10 points): Up to 10 points may be awarded based on the extent that the project demonstrably: advances the Trump Administration’s priorities, including E.O. 14154:

Unleashing American Energy, justifies alignment with priorities and requirements in E.O. 14332:

Improving Oversight in Federal Grantmaking; includes primary project elements that develop, demonstrate, and or implement artificial intelligence (AI) technologies that advance the Trump Administration and Department of Interior’s priorities for AI, including OMB M-25-21 Accelerating the Use of AI through Innovation, Governance, and Public Trust; S.O. 3444:

Leading Interior’s Path to Artificial Intelligence Transformation; aligns with Secretary Burgum’s strategic objectives, including those identified in S.O.s 3417: Addressing the National Energy Emergency, 3418 Unleashing American Energy, 3419 Delivering Emergency Price Relief for American Families and Defeating the Cost-of-Living Crisis; aligns with goals and objectives in the U.S. Department of the Interior FY 2026-2030 Strategic Plan; and supports water management and enhanced operational flexibility in Reclamation States, with priority given to the Colorado River Basin, which is experiencing long-term drought conditions.

Please address only those priorities that are applicable to your project. All priorities will be given equal consideration. A project will not necessarily receive more points simply because multiple priorities are addressed. Points will be allocated based on the degree to which the project supports, advances, or otherwise demonstrates an enhancement of one or more of the priorities identified, and whether the connection to the stated priority (or priorities) is (are) well supported.
