Sexton Remediation Project; EPIMS-HUM-62697-R1C

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has authorized Fritz Sexton to perform environmental remediation work under a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement, EPIMS-HUM-62697-R1, as required by Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code. The project addresses three unauthorized stream encroachments resulting from unpermitted development in the Larabee Creek/Eel River watershed near Blocksburg, Humboldt County, California. Scope of work includes decommissioning a stream crossing, removing all water diversion infrastructure, reestablishing the natural flow of an obliterated stream channel, and stabilizing the area through excavation, backfilling, compaction, and rock armoring to prevent erosion and restore hydrologic function. The activity is exempt from full environmental review under California Code of Regulations Title 14, Sections 15304 and 15321, due to its minimal impact, absence of hazardous material disturbance, and lack of cumulative environmental effects. All work must be conducted on-site at the specified location within Section 18, T2S, R5E, Humboldt Base and Meridian, with coordinates 40.2873° N, 123.6517° W and assessor’s parcel number 217-391-007. Inspection and acceptance occur on-site under the oversight of the CDFW, with David Manthorne serving as the primary point of contact for compliance verification. There is no formal contract value, pricing structure, or payment details provided, as the authorization operates as an administrative environmental remedy rather than a competitive procurement under federal acquisition regulations. No FAR clauses, evaluation factors, packaging requirements, or special contract terms are included, reflecting its classification as a non-competitive, categorical exemption action. The offeror, Fritz Sexton, is an individual with no submitted UEI, CAGE code, or socioeconomic certifications, and no competitive bidding process was conducted. Submission of the project notice occurred through the CEQA portal by October 10, 2025, with no specified period of performance or delivery schedule. The project relies on state environmental regulations for compliance, with no federal labor, security, or logistical requirements applicable. Communication and oversight are managed directly between the contractor and CDFW’s Northern Region office in Eureka, California.
