South Canyon Restoration Project

The South Canyon Restoration Project involves revegetating a 15,250-square-foot disturbed area within the UC San Diego Ecological Reserve in San Diego, California, using a native Diegan coastal sage scrub mix to restore ecological function. The work will be completed within three months using only hand tools, with no heavy equipment permitted, and includes the installation of temporary above-ground irrigation until vegetation is established. Habitat protection measures such as trail barriers, rustic stairs, erosion control best management practices, and educational signage will be implemented to minimize human impact and support long-term sustainability, while maintaining existing public access to trails and coastal views. The project is exempt from full environmental review under CEQA Section 15333 as a small habitat restoration project under five acres and is not subject to standard Federal Acquisition Regulation contract clauses. No pricing, contract value, or payment details are available, and the solicitation is marked as a forecast with no formal solicitation number or procurement process outlined. The University of California, San Diego serves as both the contracting entity and lead agency, with Lauren Kahal Lievers, Principal Environmental Planner, designated as the primary point of contact for project coordination. No formal attachments, evaluation criteria, delivery terms, invoicing procedures, or representations such as UEI/CAGE codes, socioeconomic status, or key personnel requirements are specified in the documentation.
