Amador Defensible Space Assistance

The Amador Defensible Space Assistance project, managed by the Amador Resource Conservation District, is a forecast initiative designed to provide fuel reduction services for at least 75 low-income households in Amador County, California. The scope of work involves treating areas within 100 feet of residences to meet state-mandated Defensible Space standards. Key activities include cutting and chipping shrubs and small trees, pruning branches, applying herbicides, and removing vegetative debris. Additionally, the project requires the felling and processing of at least 25 hazard trees. The project is governed by Public Resources Code 4291 and Government Code 51182, and it has been granted a categorical exemption from CEQA review under 14 CCR Section 15304(i) as it involves minor land alterations. Administrative oversight is provided by Executive Director Amanda Watson and Project Manager Todd Bertwell. While the project is listed as a forecast with a posted date of July 25, 2025, there are currently no specified contract values, formal evaluation factors, or federal FAR clauses associated with the procurement.
