Sequoia Group Campground Septic Feasibility Testing

The California Department of Parks and Recreation is seeking geotechnical testing services for the Sequoia Group Campground at Big Basin Redwoods State Park to evaluate the feasibility of installing new septic restrooms as part of a broader plan to rebuild the campground. The scope of work involves preliminary soil evaluations using a rotary auger backhoe attachment or manual augers. Specifically, the contractor will excavate one 14-foot deep hole for soil profiling and four holes ranging from 4 to 7 feet deep for limited percolation testing, followed by the backfilling and compaction of all test holes with excavated soils. This project is classified under NAICS code 541380 and is identified as a categorical exemption under CEQA Class 6, Section 15306, as it consists of basic data collection and soil engineering tests. The work will be performed in California, zip code 95006, with Linda Hitchcock serving as the primary point of contact. The project was forecasted on September 11, 2026.
