AI Contract Overview

The 2026 Vegetation Control Program is an annual maintenance initiative managed by the California Department of Water Resources, San Joaquin Field Division, to control unwanted vegetation and protect the structural integrity, visibility, accessibility, and drainage of aqueduct embankments and structures. The scope of work includes the application of pre-emergent herbicides along access roads and around buildings using a pickup-mounted spray rig, with a total application period of approximately three months for the entire division. Additionally, the program requires periodic spot treatments throughout the year and the removal of plant debris, primarily tumbleweed, using a back-hoe and dump truck for transport to designated burn sites. Performance is centered in the San Joaquin Field Division, specifically targeting the State Water Project from MP 172.58 to 293.45 and the Coastal Branch from MP 0.0 to 17.84. The project spans multiple locations, including the cities of Bakersfield and Lost Hills, and covers Kern, Kings, San Kettleman City, and Luis Obispo Shandon counties. This program is classified as a maintenance activity supporting the California Aqueduct and State Water Project water delivery and is exempt from environmental review. The primary point of contact for the program is Elizabeth Maldonado, Senior Environmental Scientist.

Full Description

The SJFD herbicide program is an annual maintenance activity that the field division uses to control the growth of unwanted vegetation within the field division. To accomplish this, pre-emergent herbicide is sprayed along access roads and around structures and buildings. This is accomplished using a spray rig mounted onto a pickup. In total, it takes around 3 months to spray the entire field division. Spot treatments are periodically sprayed, as needed, throughout the year. Plant debris (mainly tumbleweed) is removed and burned. Plant debris is removed using a back-hoe and is loaded onto a dump truck. The dump truck transports the debris to one of the various burn sites located throughout the SJFD. The amount of plant debris removed and burned varies depending on the time of the year. The SJFD herbicide program is critical in meeting aqueduct visibility, accessibility, and drainage requirements, as well as to protect the structural integrity of aqueduct embankments and structures.
