Paradise Hill Access and Functional Needs Defensible Space Improvement

The contract aims to enhance structural defensible space on a priority parcel in Nevada County, California, specifically focusing on reducing fire risk by modifying the structure and density of flammable vegetation across zones 1, 2, and 3.

The initiative is forecasted for release on June 24, 2026, and is administered by Nevada County with direct oversight from the Forestry Projects Manager, Alex Geritz, who serves as the primary point of contact. The place of performance is located in the 95959 zip code area, within California, and although no solicitation number or NAICS code is currently listed, interested parties should monitor the project page at the provided URL for formal solicitation details.
