Bank stabilization and restoration of San Mateo Creek at 198 Bridge Road

The project involves stabilizing and restoring approximately 134 feet of the south bank of San Mateo Creek at 198 Bridge Road in Hillsborough, California, following severe erosion caused by winter flows in December 2022 and January 2023. The work will remove an unpermitted sackcrete revetment and replace it with a naturalized bank structure composed of boulder revetment and anchored large wood elements, alongside native riparian plantings including willow, dogwood, and bay laurel. A minimum of five years of post-construction monitoring and maintenance is required to ensure the structural integrity of the bank and the successful establishment of the vegetation. The project qualifies for a CEQA Class 33 categorical exemption as a small habitat restoration project under five acres, with all design elements incorporating avoidance and minimization measures from a Biological Assessment to comply with regulatory authorizations and prevent significant effects on special-status species and their habitats. The Town of Hillsborough is the lead agency, with Linda Roberson, Senior Planner, designated as the primary point of contact, and Clearwater Hydrology serving as the implementing contractor. The project's place of performance is clearly identified as 198 Bridge Road, Hillsborough, CA 94010. No formal contract value, pricing details, or financial breakdowns are specified in the documentation, and the transaction is marked as a forecast rather than a formal award. There are no Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses, militarized packaging standards, invoicing procedures, or traditional procurement evaluation factors present, as the project operates under state-level environmental compliance rather than federal contracting frameworks. While no Contracting Officer, COR, COTR, or specific payment office is formally designated, the Town of Hillsborough retains oversight responsibility. Proposals were submitted by August 15, 2025, with notices of exemption filed and certified documentation submitted to the California Office of Planning and Research and the San Mateo County Clerk. The project does not involve federal certifications, socioeconomic categorizations, UEI or CAGE codes, or standardized reporting requirements under FAR, and all obligations are rooted in CEQA compliance, regulatory permits, and long-term ecological performance targets.
