Culvert Protection and Diversion Fencing

The contract involves the supply and installation of specialized fencing systems, including beaver deceiver flow pipes and diversion structures, designed to protect culverts from blockage by beavers and other wildlife while ensuring uninterrupted water flow. These installations are critical for maintaining the integrity of watershed infrastructure and supporting ecological health by preventing damming and flooding that can disrupt natural hydrological patterns. Work will be performed in California under the jurisdiction of the Fish and Wildlife, Watershed Restoration Grants Branch, with the project falling under the NAICS code 238990 for other specialty trade contractors, indicating a focus on niche, site-specific civil and environmental installations. This subcontract aims to enhance watershed resilience by implementing engineered solutions that reconcile wildlife activity with infrastructure function. The contract is posted as a subcontract on June 22, 2026, and is part of broader efforts to restore and protect natural water systems across the state. Performance location details are unspecified, suggesting work may occur at multiple dispersed sites within California where culvert blockages have been identified as a concern. The project supports environmental restoration goals by minimizing human intervention while accommodating natural behaviors, requiring technical expertise in ecological engineering and aquatic habitat protection.
