Camp Roberts - Establish Monarch Butterfly Habitat

The Camp Roberts Monarch Butterfly Habitat project, managed by the California Military Department and the California Army National Guard, involves the establishment and long-term maintenance of a 3.5-acre Monarch Butterfly breeding habitat in San Luis Obispo County. The scope of work encompasses initial site preparation activities such as burning, planting, mulching, weeding, and watering, followed by a three-year period dedicated to maintenance, survival monitoring, and additional plantings as required. To execute these tasks, the project requires the use of specialized equipment including an auger, dump truck, water truck, shovels, and potentially a hard line for water delivery. Notably, the current project plan excludes the use of herbicides. This project has been granted a Categorical Exemption for Small Habitat Restoration under section 15333. The performance site is located at Camp Roberts, approximately 15 miles north of Paso Robles, California. While specific contract values, pricing schedules, and formal solicitation numbers are not provided in the current forecast documentation, the project is overseen by the Branch Chief of Environmental Programs for the California Military Department. The work is classified under NAICS code 561730, focusing on specialized landscaping and habitat restoration services.
