Ceramic Nest Module Supply and Installation

The contract entails the supply and installation of 75 new ceramic nest modules and the retrofitting of 45 existing seabird nests with elevated sunshields to enhance durability and climate resilience on Año Nuevo Island. These nesting structures are specifically designed to protect seabird populations from rising temperatures and environmental stressors by providing stable, long-lasting nesting habitats. The ceramic materials ensure resistance to erosion, salt exposure, and extreme weather conditions typical of the coastal environment. All work must be completed in accordance with ecological guidelines to minimize disruption to nesting species and their natural behaviors. The project is classified under NAICS code 327110, indicating it involves the manufacturing of ceramic products, and is structured as a subcontract under the California Department of Parks and Recreation. The performance location is designated with zip code 94060, corresponding to Año Nuevo Island, where all installations must occur. The solicitation was posted on July 6, 2026, and the effort is part of a broader initiative to conserve and restore critical seabird breeding habitats under the state’s conservation and climate adaptation mandates. All materials and installation methods must meet specified environmental and durability standards to ensure the long-term success of the nesting program.
