Visitors Center Landscape Improvements

The Visitors Center Landscape Improvements project, managed by the California Department of Parks and Recreation Bay Area District, focuses on enhancing the functionality, accessibility, and visitor experience at Bothe-Napa Valley State Park in Calistoga, California. The scope of work involves replacing non-native lawns with native, drought-tolerant plants, removing a concrete retaining edge on the east side of the lawn, and installing a five-foot-wide stabilized aggregate pathway to ensure a connection to the accessible entrance. Additionally, the project includes the construction of two small seating patios using pavers and decomposed granite, the installation of a metal privacy fence to isolate the garden from the maintenance work area, and the addition of a new bike rack. This project is classified as a forecast under NAICS code 561730 and has been deemed categorically exempt from certain environmental reviews due to the minor nature of the alterations and limited new construction. Administrative oversight is provided by Environmental Coordinator Caitlin Powers. While the project details the specific physical improvements required at the park, the provided documentation does not specify the contract value, period of performance, or specific evaluation factors for award.
