Italian Slough Erosion Repair

The California Department of Water Resources is undertaking the Italian Slough Erosion Repair project to stabilize a deteriorating section of the eastern levee adjacent to Italian Slough near Byron, California. This work is focused on halting further erosion that is compromising the Clifton Court Forebay access road and threatening the structural integrity of the levee, with the goal of preventing potential levee failure and associated flooding risks to surrounding areas. The scope is strictly limited to maintenance and repair of existing infrastructure without expansion or functional alteration, qualifying the project for a CEQA Section 15301 Class 1 categorical exemption due to its minimal environmental impact. All work will occur at the designated site located at coordinates 37°50'29.05"N, 121°55'30.41"W, and acceptance of the work is expected to occur on-site under the oversight of the department. There is no identified contract value, pricing structure, or formal solicitation number, as the document reflects a forecasted project rather than an active procurement with competitive bidding. The project does not include any Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, detailed evaluation factors, or special contract requirements, and no contractor has been selected or specified. The Environmental Program Manager, Sara Lowry, serves as the primary point of contact for project-related inquiries, and all administrative communications should be directed to the department’s Sacramento office. No formal delivery schedule, payment details, invoicing method, or accounting codes are provided, and there is no indication of option periods, security clearances, or socioeconomic set-asides. The only formal attachment referenced is a certified document confirming the CEQA exemption, underscoring the project’s classification as routine maintenance under state environmental law.
