Mineral King Bridge (Historic Oak Grove Bridge) Replacement Project

The County of Tulare, through its Resource Management Agency, is undertaking the replacement of the historic Oak Grove Bridge with a new 100-foot clear span steel plate girder bridge across the East Fork of the Kaweah River in north-central Tulare County, California. The project includes vegetative clearing, construction of approach roadways, retaining walls, and all bridge components, with all work intentionally conducted outside the wetted channel and without dewatering to minimize environmental impact. Regulatory approval for this project was granted under California Fish and Game Code Section 1602 via Lake or Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS-TUL-47329-R4, approved on December 23, 2025, and publicly posted on December 29, 2025. An environmental review has been completed under CEQA, resulting in a Mitigated Negative Declaration that outlines adopted mitigation measures and a monitoring plan. The place of performance is precisely located at the Northeast ¼ of Section 15, Township 17 South, Range 29 East, approximately 6.3 miles east-northeast of Three Rivers, with GPS coordinates 36.449363, -118.793039. While the project involves significant environmental oversight by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, no federal procurement structures such as FAR clauses, contract types, pricing, performance periods, inspection protocols, or evaluation factors are present in the documentation. Administrative oversight is handled by Jason Vivian at Tulare County and Jim Kitch at CDFW, though no formal COR, COTR, or PCO designations are specified. There is no stated contract value, no invoicing or payment instructions provided, no packaging or marking requirements, and no representations or certifications from offerors are included since this is an environmental permit agreement rather than a traditional procurement contract.
