Pre-Construction Wildlife Survey for Migratory Birds

A mandatory wildlife survey must be conducted prior to any construction activities occurring between February 15 and September 1 to identify the presence of Swainson’s Hawks and other migratory birds nesting in the area. This requirement is non-negotiable and applies to all construction projects within the specified timeframe, ensuring compliance with protective measures for sensitive bird species during their breeding and migration seasons. The survey must be performed by qualified personnel and is intended to prevent habitat disruption and potential violations of federal and state wildlife protection laws. The contract is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541620, indicating it involves environmental consulting services. It is issued by San Joaquin County in California and posted on July 9, 2026, with the project identified through the CEQA Net system. The scope of work centers entirely on pre-construction ecological assessments, with no additional obligations beyond the bird survey. The place of performance is within San Joaquin County, though exact locations are not specified, meaning the survey must be adaptable to any construction site within the jurisdiction where work is planned during the protected period.
