Bachman Homeowners Association Bank Stabilization Project.

The Bachman Homeowners Association Bank Stabilization Project involves replacing a failed retaining wall along Almendra Creek in Santa Clara County, California, and extending the new structure 15 feet upstream to restore its historical alignment. This bank stabilization effort is designed to address erosion and land instability by reestablishing natural creek bank conditions through minimal land alterations. The project is classified as a categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), specifically Class IV (§15304), indicating it poses no significant environmental impact due to its small scale and localized nature. Compliance with the Public Resources Code and CEQA Guidelines is required, along with adherence to regional water quality standards administered by the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board. The work is to be performed at the site along Almendra Creek near Los Gatos, with acceptance occurring on-site by the lead agency. No formal contract value, pricing details, or financial data are provided, and the document is designated as a forecast rather than a solicitation or awarded contract. The project is not subject to standard Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses, as it operates under state environmental compliance procedures rather than federal procurement rules. No contract type, payment office, invoicing method, accounting codes, or technical specifications have been outlined beyond the general scope. The Bachman Homeowners Association, represented by Jeff Black, is the applicant, while Brian Wines, Water Resource Control Engineer with the Regional Water Quality Control Board, serves as the primary point of contact. There are no identified contracting officer roles, key personnel requirements, security clearances, options, or socioeconomic certifications. Submission of a certified exemption finding and a filed Notice of Exemption are the only procedural requirements, with documents to be sent to the Office of Planning and Research in Sacramento. The project reflects a localized, non-federally governed infrastructure remediation with a focus on environmental regulatory compliance rather than formal procurement processes.
