About this opportunity
The Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation is seeking a cooperative agreement to develop a 60% design for a wetland habitat along the San Juan River near Bluff, Utah, as part of the San Juan River Basin Endangered Fish Recovery Program. The primary objective is to create a rearing habitat for larval razorback sucker fish, addressing the critical lack of recruitment habitat for this endangered species. Applicants will be evaluated based on past performance, personnel experience, project feasibility, and cost-effectiveness. Qualified entities include federal, state, local, tribal governments, public institutions, and private contractors. The proposal submission deadline is October 17, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. MST, with an anticipated project start date of December 1, 2025.
The estimated total program funding is $300,000, with expectations of a single award to support the project's completion by December 31, 2027. The design work will involve comprehensive site assessment, hydrographic and topographic mapping, geotechnical investigations, and ecological restoration planning. The project will be located immediately south of Bluff, Utah, and will build upon a previously completed 30% conceptual design for the wetland. Applicants must be registered in SAM.gov and submit their proposals through Grants.gov, with a focus on developing a detailed design that supports the recovery of endangered fish species in the San Juan River Basin.
Synopsis
The San Juan River Basin Endangered Fish Recovery Program (Recovery Program) was established in 1992 and is comprised of federal, state, and tribal entities that work cooperatively towards recovery of endangered Colorado pikeminnow and razorback sucker. The Recovery Program has identified a lack of rearing habitat as the factor that most limits recruitment of razorback suckers to the juvenile life stage and ultimately recovery of the species in the San Juan Basin. Although flows from Navajo Reservoir would ideally maintain and restore these types of habitats, sufficient water has not been available for release and the Recovery Program has concluded that non-flow alternatives to provide rearing habitat need to be implemented.The purpose of the wetland is to entrain and rear larval razorback sucker. The Recovery Program already supported development of a conceptual design (30%) for the wetland along the San Juan River immediately south of Bluff, Utah. The goal of this next stage of the project is to build on the elements included in the 30% design to complete 60% design.
