City Hotel Restaurant Fence for Garden

A fence installation project is underway at Columbia State Historic Park in Columbia, California, to fully enclose a garden that supplies herbs and vegetables to the Columbia City Hotel Restaurant and What Cheer Saloon, both operating under concession agreements. The existing garden is enclosed on three sides, and a new 30-foot section of fencing will complete the perimeter using historically appropriate materials and methods. The work includes excavating six 12-inch diameter holes 18 to 20 inches deep, installing four standard and two gate-supporting 4x4 treated wood posts secured with compacted gravel, attaching 2x4 top and base boards, and vertically mounting five 5-foot-tall rough-sawn 1x12 cedar fence boards. A single 36-inch-wide pedestrian gate will be integrated into the structure. All plants will be cultivated in raised beds or historically authentic containers to maintain the park’s cultural integrity. The project is categorically exempt from environmental review under California Code of Regulations sections 15303 and 15304, which cover minor alterations to land and construction of small park facilities. No formal contract value, pricing, or payment terms are detailed in the documentation. Performance is limited to the site at Columbia State Historic Park, zip code 95310, with inspection and acceptance conducted on-site by the California Department of Parks and Recreation’s Central Valley District. The primary point of contact for the project is Environmental Scientist Andrew Collum, who can be reached via phone or email. There is no indication of a formal competitive bidding process, solicitation number, evaluation factors, or federal acquisition regulation clauses, and no representations, certifications, or socioeconomic qualifications from potential contractors are provided. The project is treated as a direct agency-led construction activity under state park authority with no federal procurement framework applied.
