Marina Sediment Sampling

Sediment sampling will be conducted within the Brannan Island Marina in Sacramento County, California, to characterize the physical and chemical properties of bottom sediments and identify potential contaminants such as heavy metals and PCBs, ensuring compliance with environmental disposal standards. Sampling will be performed using Ponar or Ekman dredges, push cores, and augers, with locations strategically selected across the dredge footprint and targeted contamination zones to inform a comprehensive Sampling and Analysis Plan that outlines specific sample depths, collection methods, and laboratory testing protocols. The project is administratively classified as a soils test under California Code of Regulations section 15300.4, which provides a categorical exemption from further environmental review under CEQA, and the activities are not subject to formal solicitation or contractual clause structures as outlined in the Federal Acquisition Regulation. The California Department of Parks and Recreation, through its Northern Service Center, is the contracting agency with Brad Michalk serving as the primary point of contact for the project; however, no formal contract number, pricing, evaluation factors, or award basis have been established, indicating this is a forecasting notice rather than an active solicitation. Performance will occur on-site at the marina within ZIP code 95641, with no specified delivery schedule, invoicing procedures, payment office details, or contract type defined, and no attachments, representations, certifications, or special requirements such as security clearances or key personnel qualifications are documented. The primary deliverable is the completed Sampling and Analysis Plan and associated sediment data to support environmental compliance and disposal decisions without formal financial or contractual obligations currently in place.
