Bethel Island Drainage and Flooding Remediation Mitigation Project

The Bethel Island Drainage and Flooding Remediation Mitigation Project is authorized under a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement issued by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife pursuant to Fish and Game Code section 1602, with the Bethel Island Municipal Improvement District serving as the project applicant and lead agency. The scope is limited to one-time activities including vegetation clearing and removal, culvert repair and drainage channel reconstruction and maintenance, sediment and debris removal from blocked inlets, and the upgrade of a secondary pump station, all aimed at improving drainage and reducing flood risk at Taylor Slough in Contra Costa County. The project site is identified by specific geographic coordinates and an assessor’s parcel number, and compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act is mandatory, requiring adherence to a Mitigated Negative Declaration and a formal Mitigation Reporting or Monitoring Plan as conditions of approval. Inspection and acceptance are conducted at the work location with oversight by CDFW, ensuring all mitigation measures are fully implemented and documented. No traditional federal procurement elements such as contract value, pricing, funding identifiers, or standard FAR clauses are specified, as this is a regulatory permit rather than a federally funded acquisition. There are no defined contract types, payment systems, invoicing methods, or contracting officer representatives identified in the documentation. The project does not include packaging, marking, or delivery specifications, nor are there procurement evaluation factors, award criteria, or socioeconomic representations provided. The sole point of contact for environmental compliance is Andrea Boertien of CDFW, while Regina Espinoza of the Bethel Island Municipal Improvement District serves as the lead agency representative. The approval date was September 19, 2025, with the solicitation posted on September 29, 2025, and no formal proposal submission deadlines or formats are outlined, reflecting the nature of the authorization as a regulatory permit focused on environmental compliance rather than competitive procurement.
