Streambed Alteration Agreement No 65995 for Timber Harvesting Plan (THP) 1-26-00015-HUM Mora

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife issued Streambed Alteration Agreement No. 65995 to authorize the installation and removal of Class III temporary stream crossings and the installation of culverts on Class II watercourses along Palmer Creek and Little Palmer Creek in Humboldt County, California, as part of Timber Harvesting Plan 1-26-00015-HUM. This is not a competitive procurement contract but a regulatory compliance instrument under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), where CDFW acts as a Responsible Agency adopting the environmental findings and mitigation measures approved by the Lead Agency, California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. The agreement ensures that all activities comply with CEQA regulations, Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, and statutory requirements to mitigate impacts on fish habitats and watercourses, with no monetary payment required under Public Resources Code §4629.6(c). The work is to be performed at a specific site approximately 1.3 air miles northwest of Fortuna, defined by legal land description Section 27, Township 3N, Range 1W, Humboldt Base and Meridian. No federal acquisition regulations apply, as this is a state-level environmental compliance action with no FAR clauses, solicitation numbers indicating competitive bidding, or pricing structures such as CLINs or ELINs. The agreement does not include payment terms, invoicing methods, or financial obligations, and the contract value is not applicable. Inspection and acceptance are administratively managed by CDFW through adoption of CAL FIRE’s approved findings and mitigation measures, with no formal delivery schedule or performance dates specified. Point of contact for environmental compliance is Kim Backes, while Richard Klug and Dominik Schwab serve as key agency personnel overseeing implementation. The agreement is tied to a Notice of Determination issued on May 26, 2026, and no offeror representations, socioeconomic certifications, or unique entity identifiers are required or provided because this process does not involve procurement or contractor selection—it is an environmental permit issued based on statutory compliance.
