Arcata Annie & Mary Trail Connectivity Project

The Arcata Annie & Mary Trail Connectivity Project involves two precise encroachments to support the construction of approximately 3.5 miles of Class I multi-use trail for non-motorized transportation and recreation in Arcata, California. The first encroachment requires the installation of a 40-foot bridge over an unnamed tributary to the Mad River, while the second entails upgrading an existing culvert. Work activities include site isolation, excavation, removal of the current culvert, installation of a new properly sized culvert, backfilling with compaction, and application of rock slope protection and rock armoring to prevent erosion and maintain hydrologic function. The project is situated within the Mad River watershed, with specific geographic coordinates provided for both the bridge and culvert locations. All work is subject to compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), including the issuance of a categorical exemption and a Lake or Streambed Alteration Agreement (EPIMS-HUM-58972-R1C) by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, which also serves as the lead environmental oversight agency. Humboldt County is the contracting entity, with primary point of contact in the Department of Planning and Building. Inspection and acceptance are expected to occur at the project site, with compliance monitored against environmental mitigation measures and specified construction criteria, though no formal technical standards such as ASTM or Caltrans are cited. The project is classified as a forecast, indicating a planning or budgetary phase, with no contract value, pricing details, awarded contractor, or formal contract type identified. No standard Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, evaluation factors, payment instructions, or solicitation deadlines are present, reflecting that this is a state-managed infrastructure initiative governed primarily by local and environmental regulatory frameworks rather than federal procurement protocols.
