ACEC Annual Convention April 29, 2014 Washington D.C. Lowell Pimley Acting Commissioner RECLAMATION Managing Water in the West U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation

Discussion Topics –Reclamation Background –Programmatic Focus Areas –Technical Services

Created in 1902 to Reclaim the Arid West

Reclamation’s Role Largest Wholesaler of Water in US –Irrigate 10 M acres (20% of Farmers in West) –Supply M&I water to 31 M people Second Largest Hydropower Producer in US –40B kwh / yr Flood Control & Recreation

Reclamation’s Program(s) Annual Budget = $1B +/- Programmatic Focus –OM&R of Existing Facilities –Indian Water Rights Settlements –Water Supply –Hydropower Generation –Environmental Mitigation

OM&R of Existing Facilities –Dam Safety 370 High & Significant Hazard Dams $85M/yr –Hydropower Major work at Grand Coulee, Glen Canyon, Hoover –Aging Infrastructure RAX $60M + per year

Indian Water Rights Settlements Settlements in last few years total nearly $2 billion –Navajo-Gallup (NM) - $869M –Crow (MT) – $378M –White Mtn Apache (AZ) - $126M –Aamodt (NM) - $116M Annual budget - $90M Often contracted to Tribes to conduct / outsource design / construction work under P.L

Water Supply Rural Water Program –Conveyance Systems ($15M - $40M +/-) Storage Projects –Feasibility Studies California WaterSMART Program –About $50M / yr + Cost Share with Locals Efficiency Grants Water Reuse Basin Studies (Long Range Planning)

Hydropower Generation Efficiency Upgrades –Turbine Runners / Generator Rewinds New Hydro at Existing Facilities –Lease of Power Privilege / FERC (Non-Federal Development) Dams – 70 Sites (225 MW Potential) Canals – 373 Sites (103 MW Potential)

Environmental Mitigation Total Investment - About $250M / yr –Central Valley & Bay Delta – CA (Almost 2/3) –Remaining 1/3 Columbia/Snake/Yakima – WA / ID Klamath – OR Colorado Multi Species Conservation – –AZ / NV / CA Platte River – CO / NE Colorado / San Juan – NM / CO

11 Technical Services – In House Each Region has Planning, Design & Construction Capability (500 +/- FTE’s Agency-wide) Technical Service Center (TSC) (500+/- FTE’s) –Specialized Technical Expertise –Provides services to Region/Program Offices

12 Technical Services - Outsourced Outsource technical services when: Lack technical capacity to meet schedule Lack specialized technical capability Require independent third-party Utilize FAR Subpart 36.6 provisions Post requests for proposals on FedBizOps

13 Technical Services - Contracted TSC A-E IDIQ Contracts –Reclamation Wide Access –Mirrors TSC Services & More –2 Contracts with Large A-E’s Businesses Multiple Sub-Contractors 15% Set-aside for small businesses –Awarded 2012 (Up to 5 years) Max Value $20M per contract Region IDIQ Contracts –Smaller A-E & Professional Services Contracts
