Jewett Creek Remediation Project

The Jewett Creek Remediation Project addresses environmental damages to fish and wildlife resources caused by violations of the California Fish and Game Code along a tributary of the Sacramento River in Tehama County. The project scope includes three primary activities: the removal of a 1,400-linear-foot earthen levee on the south bank of the north branch to restore natural hydrologic connections between the north and south branches during high flow events, followed by grading, stabilization with stormwater best management practices, and haul-away of spoils to upland areas; the relocation of a 1,600-linear-foot unauthorized levee fifteen feet away from the stream edge with all excavation and fill work constructed at 2:1 slopes and compacted to 90% relative compaction using moisture-conditioned clean fill; and the removal of 10 to 15 vehicle tires from the creek bed and banks upstream, which requires minimal bank excavation due to the tires being located in loose soil within the channel. All work is site-specific, with key locations identified by geographic coordinates, and is governed by state-level regulatory exemptions under CEQA Class 4 and Class 8, as well as Fish and Game Code Section 1602, which serve as the primary legal and compliance framework in place of standard federal contract clauses. Performance is to occur at Corning, California, with inspections and acceptance taking place at the project site upon completion of all work to verified standards. The contract is administered by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Northern Region, with Matthew Mitchell serving as the primary point of contact and R1LSARedding@wildlife.ca.gov designated for administrative and payment correspondence. Payment is to be processed through the Redding office at 601 Locust Street, though no invoicing platform, accounting codes, or appropriation data are provided. The project is delivered under a special-notice framework as a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement, but no formal contract type, pricing structure, or contract value is disclosed. There are no stated evaluation factors, delivery schedules, option periods, or special requirements such as security clearances or key personnel designations. The offeror is identified as the Joshua Soske Bypass Trust under the Soske Family Trust, with no UEI, CAGE code, or socioeconomic certifications provided. No deadline for proposals is specified, nor are submission formats, file types, or portal instructions outlined, indicating a reliance on state permit processes over formal federal procurement procedures. The work is not subject to
