Storm Channel Maintenance Programmatic Permit

The City of San Marcos is authorized to perform annual maintenance on 26 stormwater facilities to ensure flood risk reduction, under a Streambed Alteration Agreement approved by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Activities include vegetation removal and trimming limited to inlets and outlets, controlled herbicide application in non-perennial water areas, sediment removal capped at three feet per event, and the clearing of trash and debris from channels, ditches, basins, and inlet/outlet structures. Mechanical equipment is permitted only in concrete-lined channels, with strict emphasis on preserving native vegetation and removing non-native species. The work is governed by California Fish and Game Code Section 1602 and the CEQA Mitigated Negative Declaration, with compliance monitored through a formal reporting and observation plan adopted by CDFW. Inspection and acceptance are conducted by CDFW and the City of San Marcos, ensuring all activities adhere to environmental performance standards and sediment limits. There is no federal contract involved; this is a state-level environmental permit, and no Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, pricing data, or procurement-specific terms are present. The project is not a funded federal acquisition and lacks any contract value, payment details, invoicing instructions, accounting codes, or evaluation criteria typically associated with federal solicitations. There are no identified contract clauses, attachments, packaging requirements, special conditions, or offeror certifications. Key contacts include Jennifer Blackbird of CDFW and Gina Jackson of the City of San Marcos, who oversee environmental compliance and project administration, respectively. The project, approved on July 13, 2026, operates as a recurring annual maintenance program without a fixed start or end date, and no formal delivery or performance schedule has been established beyond its annual recurrence.
