Ord Ferry Road at Little Chico Creek Bridge Replacement Project

The Ord Ferry Road at Little Chico Creek Bridge Replacement Project involves the demolition of a structurally deficient bridge and the construction of a wider replacement on the same alignment in unincorporated Butte County, California. The project is led by Butte County and requires environmental compliance under the California Endangered Species Act due to anticipated impacts on two threatened species: the giant garter snake and the Central Valley Spring-run Chinook salmon. The project will permanently remove 0.65 acres of giant garter snake habitat and 0.0013 acres of salmon habitat, with additional temporary impacts to both. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has approved Amendment 2 to the Incidental Take Permit, which modifies the compensatory mitigation strategy for the salmon by shifting from on-site habitat restoration to the purchase of credits from a state-approved conservation bank. This change necessitates a revised financial security amount to ensure full funding for all mitigation efforts, both completed and proposed. The project’s environmental compliance is governed by a mitigation reporting and monitoring plan, and adherence to state environmental laws including CEQA and the Fish and Game Code is mandatory. The project’s performance location is on Ord Ferry Road approximately one mile west of its intersection with 7 Mile Road, with coordinates specified in WGS 84. No formal contract value, pricing structure, or payment terms are disclosed, and there is no defined period of performance or delivery schedule provided. The procurement is classified as a forecast with no solicitation number, and no standard Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, contracting officer representatives, or invoicing systems are referenced. While Butte County and the CDFW serve as the lead regulatory and oversight entities, no formal contracting officer, COR, or COTR are identified, and no offeror representations, UEI/CAGE codes, or socioeconomic certifications are present in the documentation. The entire framework for execution and compliance rests on environmental permitting conditions, particularly the amended ITP, and the financial assurance mechanism tied to mitigation delivery, with all oversight conducted through state regulatory approvals and monitoring rather than traditional contractual inspection or quality assurance processes.
