Heather Farm Park Project (Lake Alteration Agreement No. EPIMS-CCA-49117-R3)

The Heather Farm Park Project, authorized under Lake Alteration Agreement EPIMS-CCA-49117-R3, is a state-regulated environmental compliance initiative led by the City of Walnut Creek with oversight from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. The project involves four major components: the demolition of the existing Heather Farm Community Center and Clarke Aquatic Center, construction of a new Aquatic/Community Center, modification of the Concrete Pond, expansion of the Nature Lake, and improvements to parking and other site infrastructure. The agreement is governed by Fish and Game Code Section 1602 and California Code of Regulations Section 15096, ensuring compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act through a Mitigated Negative Declaration that outlines required environmental mitigation measures. The place of performance is clearly defined as Heather Farm Park, specifically at 301 North San Carlos Drive in Walnut Creek, California. While the project was approved on July 14, 2025, with the agreement executed on that date, no contract value, pricing details, or procurement method such as LPTA or best value are disclosed. The agreement functions as a regulatory permitting instrument rather than a traditional procurement contract, so Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, contract types like FFP or IDIQ, accounting codes, invoicing systems, and formal evaluation factors are not applicable or included. Key contacts include Sanjay Das of CDFW, identified as the Senior Environmental Scientist (Specialist), and Rich Payne of the City of Walnut Creek as the Lead Agency Contact, though formal designations as COR, COTR, or PCO are not confirmed. No packaging, marking, delivery, or acceptance standards beyond environmental compliance are specified, and no representations, certifications, or socioeconomic status information from offerors are provided, as this is not a federal procurement action. The agreement’s authority and enforceability derive entirely from state environmental law, with final acceptance contingent upon implementation of all approved mitigation conditions and regulatory approvals from CDFW.
