Tinnemaha Campground Pedestrian Bridge Replacement Project (Notification of Streambed Alteration, No. EPIMS-INY-57718-R6)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife, in coordination with Inyo County Parks and Recreation, has authorized the replacement of a deteriorated pedestrian bridge across Tinemaha Creek at the Tinemaha Creek Campground through a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement numbered EPIMS-INY-57718-R6, issued pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code. The project entails the complete removal of the existing bridge and its abutments, the construction of new concrete abutments with minimal land disturbance, and the installation of a prefabricated footbridge to restore safe pedestrian access. All work is confined to the original footprint of the prior structure and is justified under California Environmental Quality Act categorical exemptions Class 2 for replacement of existing structures and Class 4 for minor land alterations, eliminating the need for an environmental impact report. The project is not structured as a traditional federal procurement contract; no FAR clauses, contract pricing, payment details, award evaluation criteria, or commercial delivery terms are included in the documentation. Instead, it functions as a regulatory permit with environmental compliance as the primary legal framework, overseen by CDFW as the approving agency. The place of performance is clearly identified as Tinemaha Creek at Tinemaha Creek Campground in Inyo County, California, with specific geographic coordinates and assessor’s parcel number provided. Project execution is managed by Inyo County, with Jorge Daniel Briceño serving as the primary county contact, while the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Environmental Scientist Dana Scott and Environmental Program Manager Alisa Ellsworth serve as the key regulatory contacts. All submissions for environmental compliance must be made electronically via the CEQA Submit portal to the CDFW Inland Deserts Region in Ontario, California, with a deadline of October 24, 2025. No detailed performance schedule, funding amount, invoicing methods, government contracting roles such as COR or PCO, or socioeconomic certifications are included, indicating the document set is limited to environmental notification and permitting documentation rather than a full contract. Acceptance of the work occurs at the site and is subject to compliance with the regulatory exemptions and streambed alteration agreement, with no additional technical specifications beyond environmental and structural replacement criteria referenced.
