East Cypress Corridor Specific Plan

The City of Oakley, as the project applicant, has obtained regulatory approval from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife for the East Cypress Corridor Specific Plan, involving roadway expansion within environmentally sensitive areas including two perennial wetlands and an unnamed tributary to Little Dutch Slough in Contra Costa County. The work entails clearing and grubbing of vegetation, cut-and-fill grading, pavement removal, and site preparation for new pavement, with prior removal of two California black walnut and three Goodding’s black willow trees already completed. Authorization for these activities is governed by Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS-CCA-57357-R3, issued under Fish and Game Code Section 1602, and subject to compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act and a Mitigation Reporting or Monitoring Plan. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife serves as the regulatory authority with full responsibility for inspection, compliance verification, and formal acceptance of the project, while the City of Oakley acts as the lead agency responsible for execution. No federal acquisition regulations or contractual clauses from FAR Part 52 apply, as this is a state-level environmental permitting action rather than a federal procurement. The project site is located at coordinates 37.99147° N, -121.65934° W with assessor’s parcel number 032-270-822-0, and no contract value, pricing structure, delivery schedule, or invoicing mechanisms are specified, as this is not a procurement contract but a regulatory agreement. Key contacts include Torrey Soland of CDFW and Ken Strelo of the City of Oakley, who serve as the environmental oversight and lead agency representatives respectively.
