Retaining Wall at 3220 Mulberry Drive Retaining Wall Project (Notification of Lake or Streambed Alteration, No. EPIMS-SCR-49908-R3)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife, through Region 3 - Bay Delta, has authorized an emergency streambed alteration project at 3220 Mulberry Drive in Soquel, California, under Notification EPIMS-SCR-49908-R3, pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code. The project was initiated in response to a landslide in 2023 that threatened a single-family home by destabilizing the creek bank directly behind it. The approved scope involves the installation of a 60-foot retaining wall, an increase from the originally planned 30 feet, along with the placement of 190 cubic yards of structural fill behind the wall, significantly expanding from the initial 25 cubic yards. This emergency stabilization work is conducted under California Environmental Quality Act exemptions 15269(b) and (c), which permit expedited action to address immediate threats to public health and safety, eliminating the need for a full environmental review. The project is carried out by Diane Brembor, the private property owner, under the regulatory oversight of the CDFW, with Emily Galli serving as the Environmental Scientist point of contact. The procurement is not a formal competitive acquisition and does not include standard federal contract clauses, pricing details, or procurement documentation typically found in a Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)-based solicitation. There is no listed contract value, no solicitation number beyond the EPIMS reference, and no identified contracting officer. No packaging, marking, preservation, or invoicing specifications are provided, and no federal systems such as WAWF or CAGE/UEI requirements apply. The project operates under a state emergency exemption, bypassing typical federal certification and socioeconomic reporting obligations, and no formal evaluation factors or award methodology are documented, though an LPTA approach is implied by the nature of the emergency repair. Performance is limited to the specified location and must strictly adhere to the terms of the Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement, with oversight and acceptance responsibilities resting solely with the CDFW. No formal attachments, inspection protocols, delivery schedules, or FOB terms are detailed, and all activities are governed by compliance with CEQA and Fish and Game Code without reference to military or federal construction standards.
