Arastradero Creek Permanent Restoration Project

The City of Palo Alto is seeking a qualified consultant to assess and develop a design solution for the Arastradero Creek tributary within the Pearson-Arastradero Preserve, located approximately 1,300 feet upstream from Lake Arastradero. The primary objective is to address a six-foot head cut that threatens the stability of the creek and to ensure the protection of vital water, gas, and wastewater utility pipelines crossing the creek. The project involves evaluating the creek’s current conditions, proposing effective stabilization measures, and obtaining approval from relevant jurisdictional permitting agencies to implement the design. The work aims to restore creek stability while safeguarding critical infrastructure, with a focus on environmental compliance and long-term sustainability. The contract, titled "Arastradero Creek Permanent Restoration Project," is managed by Palo Alto Utilities and has a project size estimated between $500,000 and $1,500,000. The solicitation was posted on May 16, 2024, with a response deadline of June 4, 2024. The project emphasizes thorough site assessment, engineering design, and permitting coordination, with the ultimate goal of implementing a permanent solution to prevent further erosion and utility damage. The comprehensive scope includes detailed site evaluations, design development, and collaboration with permitting agencies to ensure regulatory compliance. The project’s successful completion will enhance creek stability, protect essential utilities, and contribute to the preservation of the natural environment in the preserve area.
