Avenue 16 1/2 Bridge Replacement at Dry Creek

The Avenue 16.5 Bridge Replacement Project over Dry Creek in Madera County, California, is authorized under a Lake or Streambed Alteration Agreement issued by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife pursuant to Fish and Game Code section 1602. The project encompasses worksite dewatering, vegetation removal, site preparation, demolition of the existing bridge, installation of a new bridge in the original alignment, and placement of riprap for erosion control. Environmental compliance is governed by a Mitigated Negative Declaration under the California Environmental Quality Act and requires adherence to a formal Mitigation Reporting or Monitoring Plan to ensure mitigation measures are properly implemented. The project is located approximately 0.04 miles west of the intersection of Road 19 and Avenue 16.5, with performance tied to the specific site coordinates in Madera County. The Lead Agency is Madera County Department of Public Works, while the California Department of Fish and Wildlife serves as the regulatory oversight body, approving the project on August 1, 2025, and posting the determination on August 7, 2025. No federal contract clauses, pricing details, contract values, or procurement-specific terms such as FAR provisions, payment instructions, invoicing methods, or solicitation numbers are included in the documentation, as this is a state-level environmental permitting agreement rather than a federal procurement contract. The agreement does not specify a defined period of performance, delivery schedule, FOB terms, or technical engineering standards beyond general compliance with state environmental regulations. Key contacts include Larry Tonel from Madera County and Clint Stevens from CDFW, who serve as primary points of coordination, though no formal contracting officer or contracting officer’s representative roles are designated. The project is supported by an environmental permitting number EPIMS-MAD-47429-R4 and related documentation, including the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Monitoring Plan, but lacks a formal attachments list, clause identification, or financial data typically found in federal contract formats.
