Junipero Serra County Park Invasive Species Management

The contract involves the continuation of fuel management efforts at Junipero Serra County Park, focusing specifically on invasive species control within a previously treated 12-acre area along the park's southwest, southeast, and eastern boundaries. Following the completion of Phase 1, which involved removal of understory vegetation and smaller trees to reduce fire fuel near park boundaries, Phase 2 targets controlling invasive plants such as French Broom and managing eucalyptus re-sprouts within 6.7 acres across three identified units. Treatments will combine mechanical and chemical methods to sustain the effectiveness of the initial clearing and prevent regrowth that could compromise the project’s objectives. The project emphasizes adherence to operational best practices, environmental protections, and erosion controls to minimize impact on native flora and fauna, particularly rare or sensitive species. The solicitation was issued by the California Parks Department in May 2026, with a response deadline in mid-June 2026. The contract seeks to engage contractors qualified in vegetation management to implement the specified invasive species controls while ensuring compliance with environmental safeguards and minimal site disturbance. The primary contact for this solicitation is Sheena Sidhu, a Natural Resource Specialist, based in Redwood City, California.
