Habitat Boulder Installation

The Central Valley Flood Protection Board has initiated a subcontract for the procurement and installation of 80 habitat boulders within the river channel near Turlock, California, aimed at improving aquatic habitat complexity and increasing flow diversity to support native species and ecological resilience. The work falls under NAICS code 238990, indicating it is classified as other construction-related services, and is scheduled to be performed in 2026 with a posted date of July 2, 2026. The project location is specified as Turlock, though no further details are provided regarding exact river reach, accessibility constraints, or seasonal work windows. No solicitation number or set-aside information is listed, suggesting this may be a direct award or internally managed subcontract under the board’s broader flood protection and habitat restoration initiatives. The contract’s primary objective is ecological enhancement through structural river modifications, requiring precise placement of large boulders to alter hydraulic patterns while ensuring structural stability and environmental compatibility.
