AI Contract Overview

The Pismo State Beach Foredune Restoration Project is a collaborative effort between the Coastal San Luis Resource Conservation District and the California Department of Parks and Recreation to restore 151 acres of foredune habitat at Pismo State Beach in Grover Beach, California. The project focuses on removing invasive plant species such as iceplant, European beachgrass, golden wattle, Australian tea tree, and spider gum eucalyptus using manual, mechanical, pile burning, and targeted herbicide methods tailored to site-specific conditions. Native plant seeds will be collected and propagated in CDPR greenhouses, then used to revegetate the area with locally adapted dune-specialized species including yellow sand-verbena, beach evening primrose, dune ragwort, and beach bur. Restoration efforts are designed to reestablish natural dune form and function, enhance biodiversity, improve habitat quality for native wildlife, and increase climate resiliency. Supplemental activities include installing interpretive signage and protective fencing, along with ongoing adaptive management involving follow-up herbicide applications and additional planting as needed. The project spans from the date of approval through October 31, 2035, with implementation guided by a statutory exemption under California Public Resources Code § 21080.56, certified by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, ensuring compliance with environmental protection standards without requiring a full CEQA review. Funding is provided by the CDFW Office of Spill Prevention and Response Environmental Enhancement Fund, with additional support from CDPR in the form of funding and in-kind services. There is no competitive solicitation, formal contract value, or traditional procurement structure; instead, the project operates under a non-competitive, statutorily authorized framework. The California Department of Parks and Recreation serves as the approving agency, with Ronnie Glick identified as the primary point of contact for project coordination and oversight, though no formal COR, COTR, or PCO roles are designated. No packaging, labeling, invoicing procedures, accounting identifiers, or federal acquisition regulations apply, as the work is a state-led ecological restoration initiative with no federal procurement components.

Full Description

Coastal San Luis Resource Conservation District (CSLRCD), in partnership with California Department of Parks and Recreation (CDPR), propose to conserve, restore, protect, or enhance, and assist in the recovery of California native fish and wildlife, and the habitat upon which they depend and restore or provide habitat for California native fish and wildlife. The Project includes the following restoration activities: Removal of invasive plant species with manual, mechanical, pile burning, and targeted herbicide application methods. Target species include, but may not be limited to, iceplant (Carpobrotus edulis), European beachgrass (Ammophila arenaria), golden wattle (Acacia longifolia), Australian tea tree (Leptospermum laevigatum), and spider gum eucalyptus (Eucalyptus conferruminata). Collection of seeds from native species and propagation of seeds in CDPR greenhouses. Revegetation with a palette composed of locally native dune-specialized species, including, but not limited to, yellow sand-verbena (Abronia latifolia), beach evening primrose (Camissoniopsis cheiranthifolia), dune ragwort (Senecio blochmaniae), and beach bur (Ambrosia chamissonis). Installation of interpretive signage and fencing. Adaptive management, including follow-up herbicide treatments, supplemental revegetation, and other activities as needed. Restoration activities will be carried out amongst four management areas, totaling 151 acres of foredune habitat within Pismo State Beach. Invasive plant species removal methods will be tailored to specific conditions within management areas. Plantings will be installed in a manner which varies by density and species composition, largely depending on the proximity to wind and sand exposure, dune elevation, and the presence of pre-existing native vegetation. These efforts are intended to restore dune form and function, resulting in a more diverse native plant community and improved habitat quality for native wildlife. The Project will result in long-term net benefits to climate resiliency, biodiversity, and sensitive species recovery; and includes procedures and ongoing management for the protection of the environment. Funding for planning and implementation of the Project is provided by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Office of Spill Prevention and Response Environmental Enhancement Fund. Additional funding and in-kind services will be provided by CDPR. Anticipated project implementation: Start date: upon Project approval. Completion date: October 31, 2035.
