Stream Gage Assembly Installation

The contract entails the installation of five complete stream gage assemblies in Plumas County, each comprising a robust steel enclosure housing a remote telemetry unit, bubbler system for water level measurement, rechargeable battery, solar power panel, radio communication equipment, protective conduit, and a staff gage securely anchored into the streambed to ensure accurate and continuous hydrologic data collection. All components must be integrated into a durable, weather-resistant system capable of operating reliably in remote and potentially harsh environmental conditions. The project is classified under NAICS code 238990 for other specialty trade contractors and is structured as a subcontract under the California Department of Water Resources. It was posted on June 16, 2026, with performance locations to be determined within Plumas County, though no specific city or zip code is provided. The work requires precise engineering and field installation expertise to support ongoing water resource monitoring efforts, with all equipment selected and installed to meet state standards for data accuracy and system resilience. The project’s success hinges on timely execution and adherence to technical specifications for each assembly to ensure long-term operational integrity.
