Nesting Bird Survey and Avian Protection Services

The contract requires the execution of pre-work surveys for nesting birds between February 1 and August 15 to identify active nests and ensure compliance with wildlife protection standards. During this period, qualified personnel must conduct field assessments to locate nesting sites and document their status, using approved methodologies to minimize disturbance to avian species. Upon detection of an active nest, a mandatory 30-foot buffer zone must be established and maintained around the nest to prevent any disruption to breeding activities, construction, or other ground-disturbing operations. The work is governed under NAICS code 541620 and falls under a subcontract arrangement with Butte County Resource Conservation in California, specifically performing services within the 95916 zip code area. All activities must align with local and state environmental regulations aimed at safeguarding native bird populations during their critical nesting season. The contract remains active throughout the entire survey window, with ongoing compliance and documentation required to verify adherence to buffer protocols and survey accuracy, ensuring that development or land management efforts do not inadvertently impact protected wildlife.
