Annual Drainage and Basin Maintenance (Notification of Streambed Alteration, No. EPIMS- SLO-56035-R4)

The City of Paso Robles is authorized under California Fish and Game Code Section 1602 to conduct annual, routine maintenance activities to ensure flood control and proper water conveyance within 12 drainages and two basins located within city limits, as permitted by Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS-SLO-56035-R4. The scope of work is strictly limited to vegetation removal and sediment clearance to maintain existing hydraulic capacity without expanding the use of water features, and all activities are designed to comply with the CEQA Categorical Exemption under Title 14, Section 15301, which confirms no significant environmental impact. Oversight is maintained by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, which serves as the approving agency and responsible party for inspection and acceptance, while the City of Paso Robles executes the work on-site at the designated locations, including areas adjacent to the Salinas River. There is no established contract value, pricing structure, or federal procurement mechanism, as this is an administrative environmental agreement rather than a federally funded acquisition, and therefore no Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, invoicing protocols, accounting codes, or competitive evaluation factors apply. The project operates under a notification-based permit with no formal solicitation, bidding, or selection process, and no contract options, deliverable schedules, or FOB terms are defined. Contacts for coordination include Jackson Powell from CDFW as the Environmental Scientist and Kim Porter as the City’s General Manager, with Julie Vance serving as Regional Manager. No entity identifiers, size certifications, socioeconomic status, security clearances, or special personnel requirements are documented, and the work is considered low-complexity, recurring maintenance conducted under state environmental compliance authority without federal procurement oversight.
