Southern Los Cerritos Wetlands Restoration Project

The Southern Los Cerritos Wetlands Restoration Project is a long-term environmental restoration initiative authorized through an amendment and extension of a General Lease – Public Agency Use, valid through August 13, 2050, with the California State Lands Commission acting as the approving agency and the Los Cerritos Wetlands Authority as the lead implementer. The project encompasses the ecological restoration of wetland, wetland-upland transition, and upland habitats within Seal Beach, California, including the remediation of contaminated soil, grading, revegetation, removal of debris and invasive species, and the construction of flood management features such as earthen berms. Public access enhancements are also integral to the project, involving the development of trails, viewpoints, and a dedicated Stewardship site, along with provision for escorted and supervised public education programs operated by the Los Cerritos Wetlands Stewardship Program. All activities are governed by compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, specifically under a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Program Environmental Impact Report, with implementation and success monitored through an approved Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. The project's place of performance is exclusively in Seal Beach, and all deliverables are subject to oversight by the California State Lands Commission to ensure adherence to environmental standards and mitigation requirements. No federal procurement details such as contract type, pricing, evaluation factors, or FAR clauses are present in the documentation, indicating this is a state-level land use and environmental restoration agreement rather than a standard federal contract. The authority relies on CEQA compliance documents and environmental approvals instead of traditional acquisition metrics like CLINs, solicitation numbers for bids, or invoicing systems like WAWF. There is no disclosed contract value, and financial mechanisms, payment office details, or accounting codes are not included. Key contacts include Robin Tuohy of the State Lands Commission and Chad Oberly of the Los Cerritos Wetlands Authority, with the authorization process culminating in a signing date of August 14, 2025. The project does not involve federal subcontracting, socioeconomic set-asides, or defense-related packaging and marking standards, and no offeror representations, certifications, or CAGE/UEI data are provided, reinforcing its nature as a state environmental lease and restoration action focused on ecological recovery and public access under California law.
