The Big Canyon Coastal Habitat Restoration and Resiliency Project Phase 3 is a state-level initiative executed through Streambed Alteration Agreement No. EPIMS-ORA-36265-R5. Authorized by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife under Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code, the project is managed by the Newport Bay Conservancy. Located at Big Canyon Creek and the confluence of Upper Newport Bay in Newport Beach, California, the project focuses on restoring natural hydrology and aquatic habitat to improve ecological resiliency. The work is classified as a statutory exemption under Public Resources Code section 21080.56 for habitat restoration. Project activities involve extensive earthmoving and dredging operations utilizing heavy machinery, including bulldozers, backhoes, front-end loaders, graders, and amphibious equipment, as well as excavators equipped with hydraulic concrete breakers and thumb attachments. The agreement was signed on July 30, 2025, and is overseen by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife Region 5. While the project is identified as a forecast with NAICS code 237990, the provided documentation focuses on regulatory authorization and environmental compliance rather than federal procurement terms, and therefore does not include standard FAR clauses, specific pricing, or a defined period of performance.
