China Wall OHV Staging Area Expansion / Loops 5 and 6 Reroutes Project

The project entails expanding the China Wall Off-Highway Vehicle and Over Snow Vehicle Staging Area in Placer County, California, by 61,200 square feet to accommodate approximately 24 vehicle-trailer combinations, while also constructing six new trail reroutes totaling 4.5 miles to replace unsustainable segments of the Sugar Pine OHV trail system on Loops 5 and 6. The work is designed to improve trail sustainability, reduce environmental degradation, and enhance visitor access within the designated area. The California Department of Parks and Recreation is the lead agency overseeing the project, which has received environmental clearance through a Negative Declaration under the California Environmental Quality Act, indicating that no significant environmental impacts are anticipated. The place of performance is located on Foresthill Road, 12 miles northeast of Foresthill, with all activities confined to the identified sections of Sections 10, 11, 13, 14, 25, 35, and 36 within T15N, R11E. No formal contract value, pricing structure, or line-item details are specified in the available documentation, and the procurement is marked as a forecast rather than a formal solicitation. There are no identified Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, accounting codes, invoicing protocols, or contracting officer roles documented, and while payment of environmental review fees totaling nearly $7,000 has occurred, these are not indicative of the overall contract value. The point of contact for the project is Scott Soares, Senior Environmental Scientist Supervisor, with additional coordination supported by Matthew Brownlee of the U.S. Forest Service. Although attachments such as the Notice of Exemption and CDFW No Effect Determination were submitted as part of the approval process, no formal contract administration data, inspection criteria beyond CEQA compliance, or performance timelines are detailed in the materials. The project remains subject to state-specific environmental regulations and administrative procedures rather than federal acquisition standards.
