Eureka Canyon Road Storm Damage Project (Notification of Lake or Streambed Alteration, No. EPIMS-SCR-21188-R3

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife, through its Region 3 - Bay Delta office, authorized emergency streambank repairs along Eureka Canyon Road in Santa Cruz County under Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS-SCR-21188-R3, issued pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code. The project, carried out by the Santa Cruz County Department of Public Works, involves five discrete repair locations at post miles 3.16, 3.36, 4.67, 5.05, and 5.33, each addressing storm-induced slip-outs that compromised road infrastructure, drainage systems, and adjacent streambanks. Work includes installing soldier pile retaining walls at PM 3.16 and PM 3.36, extending an existing crib wall with new drainage at PM 4.67, placing rock slope protection at PM 5.05, and removing debris while constructing a gravity retaining wall at PM 5.33. The entire effort qualifies for a categorical exemption under CEQA as an emergency disaster recovery action, bypassing full environmental review while still complying with state environmental standards. The project lacks formal federal procurement elements, with no identified FAR clauses, contract type, pricing, or payment details, and is not governed by federal acquisition regulations. The responsible parties are clearly delineated: Alexis Harrison of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife serves as the primary environmental liaison and oversight contact, while Joel LaCagnina of Santa Cruz County Department of Public Works is identified as the representative executing the work. Performance occurs exclusively at the specified post-mile locations along Eureka Canyon Road, with no separate delivery or acceptance points. No formal period of performance, invoicing method, accounting codes, or contract administration data beyond contact information is provided, and no procurement evaluation factors, representations, certifications, or special requirements are included in the governing documentation. Although the project is structured as a state-level regulatory agreement rather than a federal contract, it is fully documented under California’s environmental permitting system, ensuring compliance with Fish and Game Code §1602 and CEQA exemptions for post-disaster repairs. All work is confined to stabilization and restoration activities within limited linear footages, without expansion of road alignment or new roadway construction.
