Red Mountain OHV Staging Area Project

The Red Mountain OHV Staging Area Project, managed by the California Department of Parks and Recreation, involves the construction of a one-acre off-highway vehicle staging area at the junction of Forest Service Roads 8S10 and 8S42 in Fresno County. The project aims to resolve safety, traffic, and resource issues by replacing informal, user-created staging areas with a managed facility. Key deliverables include parking for up to 15 OHV trucks and trailers, a double-vault toilet, seven day-use picnic sites, informational signage, and pedestrian pathways. Upon completion of the project, all existing informal staging areas will be closed. The project is currently listed as a forecast with a posted date of July 25, 2025, and is categorized under NAICS code 237990. It has undergone environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act, resulting in a Negative Declaration confirming no significant environmental effects. Administrative oversight is provided by Scott Soares, Senior Environmental Scientist Supervisor. While environmental filing fees have been processed and a Notice of Determination was issued on July 24, 2025, there are currently no specified contract values, formal performance schedules, or federal acquisition regulation clauses associated with the project.
