Native Landscaping and Open Space Development

The City of Carpinteria has initiated a project to develop 13.71 acres of open space with a focus on sustainable, drought-tolerant landscaping, including the planting of 219 native trees to enhance local biodiversity and reduce water utilization. This effort is part of a broader initiative to create three community parks designed with environmental resilience in mind, prioritizing low-maintenance native vegetation and water-efficient hardscaping to align with regional climate conditions and conservation goals. The work falls under NAICS code 561730, classifying it as landscape services, and is structured as a subcontract under the agency’s environmental improvement program. The contract was posted on June 9, 2026, with performance centered in Carpinteria, California, specifically in the 93013 zip code area. No set-aside designation or organization type is specified, indicating the opportunity is open to qualified contractors without preference or restriction. The project supports the city’s long-term environmental planning by integrating native plant species, reducing irrigation needs, and expanding public green spaces for community use. All work must adhere to local sustainability standards and is accessible via the CEQA Net project link for further public documentation and oversight.
