Bits of Things Timber Harvesting Plan 4-23-00158-ELD (Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification No. EPIMS-ELD-47863-R2)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has amended Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS-ELD-47863-R2 to authorize Sierra Pacific Industries to modify work point 4 and replace a previously approved permanent rock-armored crossing with a temporary skid crossing, aligning with the revised Timber Harvesting Plan 4-23-00158-ELD Amendment 1. This change is designed to reduce long-term environmental impact while supporting timber harvesting activities within El Dorado County, specifically in the CALWATER watersheds including Ice House Reservoir, Carpenter Creek, and surrounding tributaries, as mapped under the Kyburz and Pyramid Peak USGS quadrangles and defined by township and range legal land descriptions. The amendment is executed under Fish and Game Code section 1611 and complies with CEQA regulations, particularly California Code of Regulations section 15096, with oversight maintained by CDFW as the lead permitting authority. The work is constrained to a limited geographical zone, and no formal pricing, cost estimates, or financial terms are documented within the agreement. The agreement does not include traditional federal acquisition or procurement elements such as FAR clauses, contract types like FFP or IDIQ, accounting codes, invoicing systems, or performance metrics beyond environmental compliance. There are no identified contract administration roles such as COR, COTR, or PCO, and no formal evaluation factors, award criteria, or socioeconomic certifications are provided. The execution date of August 25, 2025, precedes the public posting date of August 27, 2025, suggesting administrative processing timing, with the project window closing at the signing date. Inspection and acceptance responsibility falls with CDFW, though no specific acceptance location or quality standards beyond regulatory compliance are detailed. All project modifications are tied to environmental mitigation conditions embedded in the amended agreement and THP, with no formal reporting, monitoring, or certification requirements from the applicant, and no UEI, CAGE codes, or small business status provided for Sierra Pacific Industries. The submission process is managed through the EPIMS portal, with correspondence routed through CDFW’s North Central Region office in Rancho Cordova.
