State Maintenance Area 20—Horseshoe Levee System

The Horseshoe Levee System, encompassing Reclamation District 784 Units 5, 3b, and 6 and RD 817 Unit 6, is being formally recognized as State Maintenance Area 20 under the State Plan of Flood Control, establishing its legal status as an authorized component of California’s flood control infrastructure. This action is administrative in nature, involving no physical construction, modification, or operational changes to the levee system itself; instead, it reclassifies the existing infrastructure under state jurisdiction through a CEQA Class 20 categorical exemption for changes in the organization of local agencies. The project is being managed by the Central Valley Flood Protection Board, with the place of performance located in Yuba County, approximately 14 miles southeast of Yuba City and near the Bear River and Western Pacific Intercepting Canal. No financial details, contract value, pricing, or payment terms are provided, and the solicitation is listed as a forecast with no formal solicitation number or contract type defined. The sole point of contact for the project is Angela Nguyen-Tan, Senior Environmental Scientist, who can be reached via email or phone for further inquiries. No formal contract clauses, evaluation factors, inspection criteria, packaging requirements, or offeror certifications are included in the documentation, indicating this is not a traditional procurement but rather a regulatory and jurisdictional realignment. There is no defined period of performance, delivery schedule, or submission deadline, and no requirements for contractors, subcontractors, or technical proposals are present, as the activity does not involve competitive bidding or external performance. The Central Valley Flood Protection Board serves as both the approving and executing agency, with no indication of third-party involvement. Acceptance and oversight responsibilities rest entirely with the state agency, aligned with adherence to the State Plan of Flood Control and compliance with CEQA exemptions. No accounting codes, invoicing methods, or contracting officer representatives are formally designated, and the absence of any FAR clauses or standard procurement sections underscores the non-traditional, administrative nature of this action.
