Deer Creek Meadows/ North Fork Deer Creek Bridges Restoration Project

The project aims to restore degraded mountain meadow and stream riparian ecosystems in Eastern Tehama County, California, with a focus on Deer Creek Meadows and North Fork Deer Creek. Key activities include the ecological restoration of the meadow, the complete removal of two obsolete bridges spanning the creek, and the elimination of a historic road grade that currently disrupts wet meadow and fen wetland habitats. These actions are designed to reestablish natural hydrology, improve habitat connectivity, and promote the return of native vegetation. The project has been granted a statutory exemption under California Public Resources Code Section 21080.56, with formal concurrence from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, exempting it from full CEQA review due to its clear environmental restoration benefits. The work is being carried out by the Resource Conservation District of Tehama County, which also serves as the lead agency responsible for oversight, inspection, and acceptance at the project site located within ZIP code 96061, with specified coordinates in Eastern Tehama County. No federal acquisition regulations or standard contract clauses apply to this effort, as it operates under state environmental law and is administered as a local conservation initiative. Financial details, including contract value, pricing structure, or payment terms, are not available in the documentation, and no formal contracting roles such as PCO, COR, or COTR are designated. The project does not include provisions for solicitation numbers, contract types, delivery schedules, or invoicing systems, consistent with its nature as a non-federal, environmentally exempt restoration effort. The only documented attachment is a certified exemption finding, and no representations, certifications, socioeconomic status declarations, or unique entity identifiers are required or provided. Agency contact for the project is Amy Kendrick, Project Coordinator, with additional oversight from Jon Barrett as Lead Agency Contact, operating from the Tehama County Resource Conservation District office in Red Bluff, California.
