Fort Ord Regional Trail and Greenway Project

The Transportation Agency for Monterey County is undertaking the Fort Ord Regional Trail and Greenway Project, a paved multi-use trail construction initiative located in Del Rey Oaks, California, along State Route 218 near Canyon Del Rey Creek. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has issued Amendment No. 1 to Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS-MON-39383-R4, which extends the annual work period for the project to allow completion under revised environmental compliance timelines. The amendment was approved on October 16, 2025, and publicly posted on October 21, 2025. The project requires adherence to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) regulations and mandates the implementation of a Mitigation Reporting or Monitoring Plan developed and adopted by CDFW to address environmental impacts, particularly related to aquatic habitats and streambed alterations. All work must comply with Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Sections 15096 and 15091, with inspections and final acceptance conducted by CDFW at the project site in Del Rey Oaks. The Transportation Agency for Monterey County serves as the lead implementer, while CDFW acts as the regulatory authority responsible for oversight, permitting, and compliance verification. No federal acquisition regulations (FAR) clauses apply to this action, as it is governed exclusively by state environmental permitting procedures under California law. There is no disclosed contract value, payment terms, delivery schedule beyond the extended work period, or procurement evaluation criteria, as the document reflects an environmental regulatory agreement rather than a traditional federal or state procurement contract. Contacts for project coordination include Michael Zeller of the Transportation Agency for Monterey County and environmental scientists Jim Kitch and Tal Starostinetsky-Malonek from CDFW, with no formal certifications, representations, or socioeconomic statuses required or provided for the project sponsor.
