Twin Pines Park Belmont Creek Restoration Project

The City of Belmont is undertaking ecological restoration work along a 458 to 533 linear foot segment of Belmont Creek in Twin Pines Park, with regulatory approval issued by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife through Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS-SMO-53702-R3 under Fish and Game Code Section 1602. The project includes channel widening, streambed raising, bank grading, riffle construction, biotechnical stabilization, and planting of native riparian vegetation to enhance aquatic habitat, improve water quality, reduce downstream sedimentation, and mitigate flooding risks while ensuring public safety. The work is conducted as a regulatory permit rather than a traditional procurement contract, with CDFW serving as the responsible agency overseeing compliance with the Mitigated Negative Declaration under CEQA and the terms of the streambed alteration agreement. The project site is located at the intersection of Ralston Ave and South Road in Belmont, California, and all inspection and acceptance responsibilities rest with CDFW, which ensures adherence to approved mitigation measures and environmental conditions. No formal pricing, line items, contract value, or federal acquisition regulation clauses are included in the documentation, and the project does not involve a competitive solicitation process or contractor evaluation criteria under federal procurement rules. Key contacts for coordination include Shannon Husband of CDFW and Sean Rose of the City of Belmont, who serve as the primary environmental and lead agency representatives, respectively. The agreement was approved on January 14, 2025, with a revision effective July 17, 2025, increasing the scope from 458 to 533 linear feet, and no payment, invoicing, accounting, or packaging details are formally established in the record.
