Buena Vista Creek Restoration and Disadvantaged Community Stewardship Planning Project (Streambed Alteration Agreement, No. EPIMS-SDO- 55271-R5).

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has issued Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS-SDO-55271-R5 to the City of Oceanside for the Buena Vista Creek Restoration and Disadvantaged Community Stewardship Planning Project, located in Oceanside, California. The project focuses on restoring and enhancing 6.72 acres of riparian and upland habitat, including 4.79 acres of stream habitat, encompassing southwestern willow riparian forest, southern willow scrub, southern coast live oak riparian forest, mule fat scrub, and Diegan coastal scrub. Activities include debris removal, elimination of invasive and non-native vegetation, channel enhancement, bank stabilization, native plant revegetation, and upland restoration. An unauthorized trail network within the sensitive riparian zone will be removed and replaced with a formal, regulated trail system outside the ecological corridor to reduce human impact. The agreement is authorized under Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code and is statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under Public Resources Code §21080.56. No federal acquisition regulations or clauses apply, as this is a state-level regulatory agreement rather than a federal procurement contract. The project is administered by CDFW’s South Coast Region with primary oversight from Christian Romberger and Victoria Tang, while the City of Oceanside implements the work through its Water Utilities District. The posting date for the agreement is December 15, 2025, and the place of performance is clearly defined as Buena Vista Creek near Thunder Drive and Lake Boulevard in Oceanside. Inspection and acceptance responsibilities lie with CDFW and are based on compliance with state environmental laws and the project's defined outcomes, including habitat area restored, invasive species reduction, and successful native vegetation establishment. No contract value, payment details, delivery schedule, or socioeconomic certifications are provided in the documentation.
