Hobday Road over Badger Creek Culvert Replacement (Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification No. SAC-59952-R2)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has authorized a streambed alteration under EPIMS Notification No. SAC-59952-R2 to permit Sacramento County to replace the existing culvert crossing over Badger Creek on Hobday Road. The project involves removing four deteriorated 70-inch by 48-inch corrugated metal pipes, each 48 feet long, and installing five new 48-inch by 48-inch corrugated metal pipes in the same alignment, with no changes to the upstream or downstream channel or road structure. This work is conducted under Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code and qualifies for categorical exemptions under California Environmental Quality Act regulations, specifically Classes 3 and 4, due to its minimal impact on the environment and its location on a previously disturbed site. The project’s purpose is to maintain hydraulic function and eliminate structural failure risks without altering fish passage or aquatic habitat conditions. The place of performance is clearly defined as Hobday Road over Badger Creek in Sacramento County, California, with geographic coordinates provided and no other work areas included. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife, through Region 2 in Rancho Cordova, serves as the approving and oversight agency, with Senior Environmental Scientist Harvey Tran designated as the primary point of contact. Sacramento County, as the applicant and performing entity, is coordinated through Anastasia Shippey. There is no established contract value, payment office, invoicing system, or federal acquisition regulation clauses because this is an environmental notification and permitting action under state law, not a formal federal procurement contract. No delivery schedule, FOB terms, evaluation factors, or proposal submission instructions are provided, as the document functions as a regulatory approval rather than a solicitation or binding agreement with financial or logistical terms. Inspection and acceptance occur at the project site, with final approval resting with the Department of Fish and Wildlife to ensure compliance with environmental conditions.
