Dry Creek Debris Barriers Project

The Dry Creek Debris Barriers Project involves the replacement of 17 existing debris barrier poles in the Dry Creek Channel within Tulare County, California, to restore the facility to its pre-disaster design, function, and capacity without expanding beyond the original footprint. At the upstream location, 11 of 14 poles will be replaced, and at a second location 0.5 miles downstream, 6 of 37 poles will be replaced. All poles are 8-inch steel structures filled with concrete or sand for structural integrity. Associated embankment work along the existing Dry Creek roadway is included in the scope. The project is classified under CEQA Class 2 categorical exemption 15302, which permits the replacement or reconstruction of existing structures for the same purpose, eliminating the need for extensive environmental review under California law. The Kaweah Delta Water Conservation District is the lead agency overseeing the project, with contact information provided for the General Manager and Engineer. The project was posted as a forecast on July 30, 2025, but no solicitation number, contract value, pricing details, or formal contract type have been established, indicating preliminary status without finalized procurement terms. No federal acquisition regulation clauses, payment office details, contracting officer designations, or invoicing procedures are specified, as the project is administered under state authority without federal funding or contracting requirements. There are no defined performance timelines, delivery terms, inspection standards, or socioeconomic certifications in the documentation, and submissions, if required, are expected to follow basic paper-based procedures with no electronic portal specified.
