Wildfire Hazard Mitigation Contractor

The City of Modesto has issued a subcontract for wildfire hazard mitigation services focused on implementing wildfire-resistant landscaping, creating defensible space around structures, and installing ignition-resistant building materials. This effort is targeted at reducing fire risk in the 95357 zip code area of Modesto, California, and aligns with broader community safety initiatives aimed at protecting lives and property from increasing wildfire threats. The work will require specialized expertise in fire-adapted design, native vegetation management, and the use of non-combustible or fire-retardant materials for homes and surrounding landscapes. The contract falls under NAICS code 561730, which covers landscape services, indicating that the primary responsibilities involve site-specific landscaping and environmental modifications rather than structural construction. It is classified as a subcontract, suggesting it may be part of a larger project or funding stream administered by the city. The solicitation was posted on July 2, 2026, and the performance location is firmly centered in Modesto, with no other geographic scope indicated. All work must be executed to meet strict fire safety standards and will likely involve coordination with local emergency preparedness agencies to ensure effectiveness and compliance.
