Castaic Dam Stream Release Inspection (OM-SFD-2025-001)

The Department of Water Resources is conducting a routine maintenance inspection of the Castaic Dam Stream Release Outlet Works’ upper flat section, focusing on the concrete chute slab, interior and exterior walls, and adjacent areas near the exterior spillway walls. The inspection will be performed using rope access techniques with rescue equipment staged on-site, and no water flow will be present during the work; any residual leakage will be managed with sandbags. All activities are confined within DWR’s right-of-way in Castaic, Los Angeles County, California, and are classified as routine maintenance under CEQA Class 1 Categorical Exemption 15301. The project is identified as OM-SFD-2025-001 and was posted as a forecast on August 12, 2025, with environmental compliance documentation submitted the same day. No contract value, pricing details, or specific performance timelines are provided, and while DWR staff will jointly perform oversight, the contractor is responsible for executing the inspection with adherence to safety protocols and environmental restrictions. The lead contacts are Janine Beck and Sara Lowry from DWR’s environmental team, and Todd Percival serves as the Environmental Coordinator. No FAR clauses, packaging requirements, evaluation factors, invoicing details, or contractor certifications are specified in the available materials, and the acquisition is being treated as an administrative action under state environmental exemption rather than a full federal procurement process.
