Instream Habitat Restoration Construction

The contract is for the installation of engineered log jams and large woody debris alongside channel reconfiguration work aimed at improving habitat conditions for coho salmon in Weaver Creek. This instream habitat restoration project focuses on ecological enhancement through natural stream structure emulation, using timber and woody materials to create shelter, improve water flow dynamics, and promote sediment retention essential for spawning and rearing. The effort is part of broader aquatic ecosystem recovery goals, targeting specific improvements to support threatened salmon populations by restoring natural channel functions degraded by human activity or environmental change. The work falls under NAICS code 237990 for other heavy and civil engineering construction and is structured as a subcontract. The project is managed by the Regional Water Quality Control Board, Region 1 - North Coast, Santa Rosa, under the California state agency, reflecting its alignment with regional water quality and fish habitat protection mandates. The contract was posted on July 15, 2026, indicating an upcoming construction phase likely to begin later that year. All activities will occur in situ along Weaver Creek, with no specified alternate performance locations, underscoring the localized and targeted nature of the intervention. There is no mention of set-aside provisions, suggesting the subcontract is open to eligible contractors without specific small business or demographic preferences.
