El Dorado County – State Route 49 Post Mile 22.62 to 23.05 Rehabilitate Culvert Project 5 (Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification No. ELD-59574-R2)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has issued a Streambed Alteration Agreement under EPIMS Notification No. ELD-59574-R2 to the California Department of Transportation for the replacement of two deteriorated corrugated steel pipe culverts with reinforced concrete pipe culverts along State Route 49 in El Dorado County at post miles 22.62 and 23.05. The project involves trimming or removing riparian shrubs and herbaceous vegetation to enable construction access and is classified under California Fish and Game Code Section 1602, with categorical exemptions from CEQA under Sections 15302 and 15304 due to its minimal environmental impact as a replacement of existing infrastructure. The work is confined to the designated project locations near intermittent tributaries of the South Fork American River, with no additional site work beyond culvert replacement and associated vegetation management. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife serves as the regulatory approving agency, while Caltrans acts as the implementing entity, with key contacts including Sammi Morford and Tanya Sheya from CDFW and Girmay Beyene from Caltrans overseeing environmental coordination and project execution. No financial values, contract types, pricing details, delivery schedules, or federal acquisition regulations were specified in the documentation, indicating this is an environmental notification and regulatory approval rather than a formal federal procurement. The posting date is September 22, 2025, and there is no indication of a solicitation number, period of performance, invoicing method, or formal inspection and acceptance criteria beyond general compliance with the approved streambed alteration agreement.
