Habitat Bench Construction & Sediment Placement

This subcontract for Habitat Bench Construction and Sediment Placement supports California Department of Fish and Wildlife habitat restoration projects within the Bay Delta region. The scope of work involves the placement and grading of sediment in open-water environments to establish non-tidal mudflat habitat benches. To achieve this, the contractor must utilize specialized machinery such as dredging equipment, barge-mounted pumps, or amphibious excavators to ensure the sediment is graded to a gentle slope. The project requires strict adherence to environmental compliance certifications due to the sensitivity of the bayland habitats involved. The primary objective is the delivery of a completed habitat bench that meets the specifications of the prime contractor. This work falls under NAICS code 237990 and is managed by the Fish and Wildlife Region 3 office in Fairfield.
