Bel Marin Keys Community Services District Lock and Flood Gate Maintenance Project

The Bel Marin Keys Community Services District Lock and Flood Gate Maintenance Project involves the repair and in-kind replacement of operational mechanisms, seals, and linkages at the North and South Lagoon Navigation Locks and the North Flood Gates located in Novato, California. Work is structured into three sequential annual phases—Phase A for the South Lock, Phase B for the North Lock, and Phase C for the North Flood Gates—with each phase conducted exclusively between September 1 and January 31 to align with seasonal restrictions designed to protect sensitive habitats and species, particularly the California Ridgway’s rail and aquatic life in Novato Creek. All activities are performed using existing infrastructure, dewatering via stoplogs and floating platforms, with no new fill or structural modifications permitted. The project is administratively exempt from full environmental review under CEQA Section 15301 as an existing facility maintenance action, and a Notice of Exemption has been filed, alongside a certified exemption finding. No federal contract clauses, funding, or accounting codes apply; the district serves as the lead agency with no designation of a formal contracting officer, COR, or COTR. The sole point of contact is Lisa Lue, District Manager, and all work is overseen by the district with inspection and acceptance occurring on-site. No contract value, pricing, or evaluation factors are disclosed, and the procurement type is listed as a forecast with no formal solicitation number. Payment details are limited to a $50 fee paid via cash or check for environmental filing, with no invoicing methods or remittance instructions specified. Attachments include the Notice of Exemption and certified exemption documents, but no packaging, marking, delivery, or electronic submission protocols are outlined, indicating a locally administered, environmentally constrained, and phasal maintenance effort without standard federal procurement structure.
