AI Contract Overview

The California Department of Parks and Recreation is implementing vegetation treatments and habitat enhancement across approximately 11,994.7 acres in Big Basin Redwoods State Park and other adjacent lands in Santa Cruz and San Mateo Counties under the California Vegetation Treatment Program (CalVTP) Program Environmental Impact Report (SCH# 2019012052). This effort includes ecological restoration activities such as prescribed burning, mechanical and manual thinning, and targeted herbicide applications aimed at reducing wildfire risks, improving forest health, and restoring natural ecosystem processes in old-growth coast redwood and shrubland areas. A specific grant from the Coastal Conservancy supports the Sempervirens Fund’s work on 215 acres within the old-growth redwood zone of Big Basin Redwood State Park, focusing on wildfire resilience through targeted treatment. The project is governed by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), with a Project-Specific Analysis and Addendum approved to ensure alignment with the CalVTP PEIR, including compliance with mitigation monitoring and reporting requirements. No formal federal contract clauses or acquisition structures such as CLINs, pricing, or award criteria are present; instead, the framework is rooted in environmental compliance and grant-funded execution. Activities occur on state park lands with oversight by California State Parks personnel, including the District Superintendent and Senior Environmental Scientist, though no formal Contracting Officer’s Representative or Procurement Contracting Officer is designated. Performance occurs across multiple locations including the inland and eastern portions of Big Basin, the Forest of Nisene Marks, and coastal stretches near Pescadero and Davenport. All deliverables are tied to ecological outcomes rather than commercial deliveries, and no financial values, invoicing methods, accounting codes, or procurement types such as FFP or IDIQ are specified in the documentation.

Full Description

The California Department of Parks and Recreation (California State Parks) proposes to implement vegetation treatments and maintenance treatments on up to 11,994.7 acres of land within the project area. The project area consists of the western portion of Big Basin Redwoods State Park, Año Nuevo State Park, the southern extent of Butano State Park, and various adjacent landownerships owned by the Sempervirens Fund (Cougar Ridge, Gazos 320, and Lachenbruch) and Save the Redwoods League (Cascade Creek) located in Santa Cruz and San Mateo Counties and predominately within the coastal zone. California State Parks has prepared a Project-Specific Analysis and CEQA Addendum to evaluate if the proposed project is within the scope of the California Vegetation Treatment Program EIR (CalVTP PEIR), consider revisions or changes to the PEIR that would expand its coverage to include all project areas, and provide environmental information on the proposed project. Treatment types include ecological restoration. Treatment activities include prescribed burning, manual, mechanical, and targeted herbicide application treatments. The goal of the ecologically restorative treatments proposed in this PSA/Addendum is to restore forest and shrubland conditions to exhibit an increase in healthy growth of mature vegetation while allowing for natural regeneration of understory plant species, with alignment to the San Mateo Resource Conservation District and Resource Conservation District of Santa Cruz's Forest health and Fire Resilience Program Public Works Plan goals. The Coastal Santa Cruz Mountains: State Parks Forest Health Initiative PSA/Addendum to the PEIR was prepared for the project as a later activity covered by the CalVTP PEIR.
