Prairie City State Vehicular Recreation Area Proposed Road and Trail Management Plan

The California Department of Parks and Recreation is implementing a new designated trail system at Prairie City State Vehicular Recreation Area in Sacramento County, converting previously undesignated open riding areas into controlled routes for ATVs and motorcycles while protecting native vegetation and sensitive habitats. This project is guided by the approved 2024 Road and Trail Management Plan and complies with the California Environmental Quality Act through a Negative Declaration, which concludes that the project will not result in significant environmental impacts. Specific Standard Project Requirements and Mitigation Measures from the RTMP have been adopted as binding standards for implementation, ensuring alignment with long-term recreational and conservation goals. The project received formal approval on December 15, 2025, with certification finalized on January 12, 2026, and all activities are to be conducted at the recreation area under the oversight of the California Department of Parks and Recreation. The initiative is administratively managed by the Gold Fields District of DPR, with primary point of contact being Senior Park and Recreation Specialist Jim Micheaels, and additional coordination handled through the Prairie City Sector Office in Rancho Cordova. While environmental compliance and project approval documentation are comprehensive, no formal contract clauses, pricing details, procurement evaluation factors, or solicitation instructions are present in the available records. The project does not include a defined period of performance, delivery schedule, FOB terms, or contract value, and there is no indication of a contracted vendor or external awardee. Instead, the focus remains on internal agency execution under regulatory compliance, with inspection and acceptance responsibilities held solely by the state agency. No representations, certifications, or socioeconomic data from offerors are applicable, as the project is an internal state initiative requiring only adherence to the approved RTMP and CEQA findings.
