Whitehead Slough Bridge Replacement Project (Notification of Lake or Streambed Alteration, No. EPIMS-LAS-57688-R1)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has issued Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS-LAS-57688-R1 to Lassen County - Department of Public Works authorizing the replacement of a structurally deficient 54-foot by 19-foot steel bridge at Whitehead Slough on Capezzoli Lane near Susanville, California. The project will install a new 83-foot by 36-foot bridge designed with abutments positioned above the Ordinary High Water Mark and no central supports in the channel to minimize environmental disruption while ensuring safe, two-way vehicular access. The alteration is conducted under Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code and is exempt from full environmental review under California Environmental Quality Act categorical exemptions 15301, 15302, and 15304, which apply to the maintenance, replacement, and minor changes to existing structures without expanding their use. The project is not a federal procurement, and no Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, funding account identifiers, or traditional contract types such as FFP or IDIQ apply; instead, it is a state environmental permit tracked through EPIMS. No contract value, pricing details, payment terms, invoicing methods, or formal contracting officer roles are specified, and while the Lassen County Department of Public Works is the responsible entity, no Unique Entity ID, size status, or socioeconomic certifications are provided. Oversight is the responsibility of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Region 1, with Davis Ferguson designated as the primary contact for permitting compliance. Performance will occur at the bridge site in Susanville, with inspection and acceptance tied to adherence to the environmental exemptions and structural replacement requirements. No delivery schedule, FOB terms, packaging requirements, or submission instructions beyond environmental notification are detailed in the authorization.
