This grant from the Bureau of Reclamation is for improving the understanding of the San Francisco estuary’s hydrodynamics and the processes causing variations in its salt and turbidity fields. The project specifically seeks to collect and meticulously archive a comprehensive dataset of flow and water quality measurements in Suisun Bay during the Fall season. Subsequently, this gathered data will be thoroughly analyzed to characterize the hydrodynamics and salinity dynamics prevalent in Suisun Bay during this period. Key implications for factors such as the X2 location, turbidity, transport of fish larvae, and salinity in shallow perimeter habitats will be investigated, ultimately enhancing critical knowledge of the estuary’s complex environment.

| Description: | The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) intends to issue a cooperative agreement to University of California, Berkeley under the authority of catalog for domestic assistance (CFDA) 15.512, Central Valley Project Improvement Act, Public Law 102-575, Section 3406(b)(1) and 3407(e). Estimated total amount of agreement is $212,893.00. The purpose of the agreement is to improve understanding of the hydrodynamics of the San Francisco estuary and the processes responsible for variation in the salt and turbidity fields. The principal objectives of this study are to: (i) collect and archive a comprehensive flow and water quality data set for the Fall season in Suisun Bay; and (ii) analyze the data collected to characterize the hydrodynamics and salinity dynamics during the Fall in Suisun Bay, including the implications for X2, the location of the area where the fresh and salt water meet; turbidity, transport of fish larvae and salinity in shallow perimeter habitats. (Refer to the Notice of Intent to Award Announcement No. R12AS20004 for additional information)
A Determination by the Government not to compete this proposed financial assistance based upon Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(2) & (4) is solely within the discretion of the Government. This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals.
