Streambed Alteration Agreement No. EPIMS-MEN-60350-R1 for Timber Harvesting Plan (THP) 1-25-00083-MEN

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife, in coordination with the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, has issued Streambed Alteration Agreement No. EPIMS-MEN-60350-R1 to authorize modifications to Class I, Class II, and Class III watercourses at new and existing road crossings, as well as the diversion of water from Class II watercourses, in support of Timber Harvesting Plan 1-25-00083-MEN located approximately four miles northwest of Branscomb in Mendocino County. This agreement is not a procurement contract but a regulatory permitting instrument governed by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), specifically under Public Resources Code Sections 21081(a), 21108, and 4629.6(c), which exempts it from payment requirements. The work involves environmental modifications to Dutch Charlie Creek, Juan Creek, Eagle Creek, Little Charlie Creek, Jack of Hearts Creek, and associated tributaries within the Lincoln Ridge area, with compliance focused on implementing approved mitigation measures and environmental findings rather than delivering goods or services for consideration. No pricing, line items, or financial obligations are associated with the agreement, and no federal acquisition regulations apply. The project is subject to environmental review completed through an Environmental Impact Report and corresponding CEQA findings, with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife serving as both the Lead and Responsible Agency for oversight and approval. Performance is not bound by a defined timeline, and there are no formal delivery schedules, FOB terms, or invoicing procedures. Inspection and acceptance criteria are tied strictly to adherence to CEQA mandates and the implementation of stipulated mitigation conditions, not to technical or industrial standards. Official contacts for environmental and operational inquiries include Jack Henry and Eric Hedge, who serve as technical and managerial liaisons, though no formal Contracting Officer’s Representative or Procurement Contracting Officer is designated. There are no required certifications, UEI or CAGE codes, socioeconomic designations, or federal representations, as the document operates entirely within the framework of state environmental law. The agreement is accessible through the CEQA Net portal and relevant state offices, with no electronic submission protocols or standardized proposal formats established.
