Mullins Boatlift/Pier (Lake Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification No. LAK- 57427-R2)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has authorized Scott Barnett to construct a swim platform, covered boat lift, and connecting pier structure on Clear Lake under Lake Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification No. LAK-57427-R2, issued pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code. The project includes a 10 foot by 20 foot swim platform, a 17 foot by 30 foot covered boat lift, and a 5 foot by 35 foot pier linked by two 3 foot by 24 foot gangways, all supported by 13 eight-inch diameter pilings installed using a free-fall hammer with soft start—no drilling or excavation is permitted. The pier will be anchored to an existing seawall, and all construction will be conducted from pontoon boats and a barge, with materials staged at either 1 Clearlake Avenue or 1624 Parallel Drive. The site contains no vegetation, and no removal of plant life is involved. The work is classified under CEQA categorical exemptions, specifically Class 3 for small accessory structures and Class 4 for minor land alterations, which exempt the project from full environmental review under state law. The project is not governed by federal procurement regulations, as it is a state-level environmental authorization rather than a federal contract, and therefore contains no FAR clauses, solicitation numbers, accounting codes, payment terms, or evaluation factors. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Region 2, issued the authorization with Tanya Sheya as the Environmental Program Manager and Claire Bryant as the Environmental Scientist overseeing compliance. Scott Barnett, acting as the applicant and project proponent, is responsible for execution and is not required to meet federal contractor specifications such as UEI, SAM registration, or socioeconomic certifications. No contract value, delivery schedule, or payment terms are specified because the agreement functions as a regulatory permit rather than a purchasing instrument, and acceptance is implied through compliance with the approved scope and CEQA exemptions. Inspection and oversight responsibilities fall to CDFW, with performance occurring at Clear Lake near Kelseyville, California, in ZIP code 95451, and no formal invoicing, packaging, or delivery conditions apply.
