*Project Withdrawn* Wildfire Resilience Project

The Wildfire Resilience Project at Wildwood Canyon State Park in Yucaipa, California, was initiated to reduce wildfire risk through targeted vegetation management on approximately 161 acres, with the goal of reintroducing beneficial fire and moderating future fire severity by strategically reducing fuel loads. Activities included manual and mechanical vegetation removal, track chipper operations, and prescribed burning—both pile and broadcast—to restore fire-adapted native plant communities and protect infrastructure. The project relied on environmental exemptions under CEQA Section 15304 and Statutory Exemption 21080.56, with concurrence from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife dated December 29, 2025. The California Department of Parks and Recreation served as the lead agency, with Jacqueline Borboa designated as the Environmental Coordinator and primary point of contact. Despite the posting of the solicitation on January 15, 2026, under SCH-2025090078, the contract was formally withdrawn prior to award, and no financial details, pricing structures, line items, or contractual clauses were ever established. No FAR provisions, evaluation factors, packaging requirements, payment terms, or contractor representations were included or finalized, as the solicitation was reassessed and removed from procurement consideration. There was no identified contractor, no contract type specified, and no period of performance formally defined, although administrative dates indicated activity timelines through late 2025 and early 2026. The place of performance remained Wildwood Canyon State Park, with inspections and acceptance to occur on-site under the oversight of the Inland Empire District of the California Department of Parks and Recreation.
