Adams Barranca Debris Basin Sediment Cleanout (Specification No WP26-14 Project No. F60F3906)

The Adams Barranca Debris Basin Sediment Cleanout project, identified by Specification No. WP26-14 and Project No. F60F3906, is scheduled to begin in May 2026 and will require approximately 75 working days to remove 80,000 cubic yards of accumulated sediment and debris from the 3.3-acre basin located in unincorporated Ventura County, California. Work will be accessed via Adams Canyon Road and County-owned right-of-way, with strict adherence to environmental safeguards to protect nesting bird habitats during the scheduled timeframe, including pre-work and periodic biological surveys. No mature trees will be removed, and all excavated material must be transported and disposed of at a facility approved by the Ventura County Integrated Waste Management Division. The project relies on Best Management Practices outlined in the 2008 Final Program Environmental Impact Report and complies with CEQA Class 1 categorical exemption under Section 15301, eliminating the need for a full environmental impact review while still enforcing established mitigation protocols. Performance is governed by eight specific BMPs and regulatory oversight from the Ventura County Watershed Protection District, with acceptance occurring at both the project site and disposal location. The contracting entity is the Ventura County Watershed Protection District, with Gregg Strakaluse, PE, serving as the primary point of contact and overseeing agency responsibilities. No formal Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, accounting identifiers, invoicing methods, or contract pricing details are included in the documentation, indicating this is a local government initiative rather than a federal procurement. The solicitation is classified as a forecast with no competitive bidding process specified, and submissions are required in physical form to the Ventura County Clerk-Recorder’s Office by April 15, 2026. The project’s purpose is to restore the basin’s sediment capture capacity to ensure public safety and protect downstream properties, with no expansion of the basin’s footprint permitted. Although no contract value, delivery terms, or evaluation factors are provided, the work scope is clearly defined, and compliance with environmental standards, disposal regulations, and wildlife protection protocols is mandatory.
