Shawn Ct. Slope Stabilization Project (Notification of Lake or Streambed Alteration, No. EPIMS-CCA-52900-R3)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has issued a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement under Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to the White Gate Homeowners Association for the Shawn Ct. Slope Stabilization Project at 27 and 33 Shawn Court in Alamo, California. The project involves the construction of a soldier pile and wood lagging retaining wall to stabilize a failing bank, installation of subsurface drainage to manage groundwater pressure, placement of engineered fill to support structural integrity, and restoration of rear yard areas to isolate these properties from further slope failure. The work is authorized under a Class 4 categorical exemption under California Code of Regulations Title 14, Section 15304, which allows for minor land alterations without requiring a full environmental impact review, provided no healthy mature trees are removed and ground disturbance remains limited. The project location is in Contra Costa County near a tributary of Green Valley Creek, and all work must comply with the terms of the exemption and the agency’s permit conditions. The White Gate Homeowners Association is identified as the entity carrying out the project, with Sanjay Das, Senior Environmental Scientist at CDFW Region 3 - Bay Delta, serving as the primary point of contact for regulatory oversight. No formal contract value, payment details, invoicing procedures, accounting codes, or evaluation criteria are specified in the documentation, indicating this is not a competitively procured contract under federal acquisition standards but rather a regulatory approval for an exempted land alteration. The notice was posted on August 21, 2025, following an August 4, 2025 submission deadline, suggesting the agreement was issued on an administrative basis. There is no indication of competitive bidding, contract type designations such as FFP or IDIQ, or standard FAR clauses, and no formal attachments, representations, certifications, or delivery schedules were included. Inspection and acceptance are implied to occur on-site, with the Department of Fish and Wildlife retaining oversight authority to ensure compliance with environmental exemption conditions, but specific performance metrics or quality standards beyond those inherent to the Class 4 exemption are not detailed.
