Vented Ford Stabilization

The contract titled Vented Ford Stabilization is a subcontract issued by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection to address the stabilization of an existing vented ford structure. The primary objective is to prevent erosion and ensure the structural integrity of the ford during water flow events, which is critical for maintaining safe passage and protecting surrounding environmental features. The work will involve engineering solutions tailored to withstand dynamic hydraulic forces, likely including reinforcement of the ford’s foundation, placement of erosion-resistant materials, and possible modification of flow channels to reduce scouring. This project falls under the NAICS code 237990, which covers other heavy and civil engineering construction, indicating the specialized nature of the civil infrastructure work required. The solicitation was posted on May 29, 2026, and is linked to a project on the CEQA Net platform in California, though specific geographic details such as city, state, or zip code are not provided. The contract does not specify a set-aside category or point of contact, and the place of performance is not detailed beyond its location within California. The absence of a solicitation number suggests this may be an internally managed subcontract under a broader state-funded infrastructure initiative focused on natural resource protection and transportation resilience.
