Full Description

Show more
The Yuba River Development Project is located on the Yuba River, Middle Yuba River, North Yuba River, and Oregon Creek, and has an installed capacity of 361.9 megawatts. Main facilities include: New Bullards Bar Reservoir, Our House Diversion Dam Impoundment, Log Cabin Diversion Dam Impoundment, New Bullards Bar Dam, Our House Diversion Dam, Log Cabin Diversion Dam, Camptonville Diversion Tunnel, Lohman Ridge Diversion Tunnel, New Colgate Powerhouse, New Bullards Bar Minimum Flow Powerhouse, and Narrows 2 Powerhouse. Though YCWA does not own Englebright Dam, Englebright Reservoir, or Daguerre Point Dam, these facilities are critical infrastructure in operation of the Yuba River Development Project. As part of the Project, YCWA proposes: (1) a new tailwater depression system at New Colgate Powerhouse; (2) modification of the Our House and Log Cabin diversion dams fish release outlets; (3) modification to the Lohman Ridge Diversion Tunnel intake; (4) modifications to recreation facilities at New Bullards Bar Reservoir; (5) modifications to Project roads; and (6) modifications to Project operations and flow releases. The Narrows Hydroelectric Project is located on the Yuba River and has an installed capacity of 12 megawatts. The Narrows Hydroelectric Project includes the Narrows 1 Powerhouse, Narrows Penstock, Narrows Tunnel, and the Powerhouse Access Tram. The Narrows Hydroelectric Project does not include any dams, intakes, switchyards or transmission lines, or roads. Water for the Narrows Hydroelectric Project is received from USACE’s Englebright Reservoir through Englebright Dam’s intake and tunnel. YCWA has not proposed any changes to existing Narrows Hydroelectric Project facilities.

Relicensing of Helms Pumped Storage Project
Solicitation # SCH2025110960
The project involves the relicensing of Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s Helms Pumped Storage Project under FERC No. 2735, with the goal of continuing operations while enhancing environmental protections and public access. PG&E seeks to maintain water transfers between Courtright Lake and Lake Wishon for power generation and storage, while replacing and rehabilitating recreation facilities, redesignating approximately 36 miles of roads and one mile of trails as official Project infrastructure, and adjusting the FERC Project boundary to better reflect operational needs. The Project includes underground tunnels, penstocks, a powerhouse, switchyard, transmission lines, and ancillary facilities, all situated within Fresno and Madera Counties along the North Fork Kings River. Environmental compliance is central to the license renewal, requiring adherence to a suite of state and federal regulations including the Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act, and California Environmental Quality Act. Numerous condition-specific obligations are embedded in the licensing framework, enforced through detailed exhibits that serve as operational mandates rather than standard federal contract clauses. These include maintaining minimum water flows and quality, implementing adaptive management strategies, monitoring fish populations and hatchery performance, protecting endangered and threatened species, conducting archaeological surveys, controlling erosion, restoring disturbed areas, and limiting noise and seasonal operations. PG&E is responsible for annual reporting, public notifications, emergency response, cultural resource protection, wildlife habitat management, and providing public recreation access under approved plans. Oversight is coordinated by the State Water Resources Control Board, with key contacts for environmental compliance and project management provided. Submissions for environmental certification are due by December 19, 2025, and compliance is measured through annual reports and agency inspections rather than traditional procurement metrics. While no formal contract value, pricing structure, or acquisition type is specified, the project’s scope implies long-term operational and environmental management responsibilities spanning the lifetime of the new FERC license, with no indication of small business set-asides or socioeconomic classifications applying to the contractor.

Camp Far West Hydroelectric Relicensing Project
Solicitation # CFW-amend_2021100570_NOD_signed
The Camp Far West Hydroelectric Project, a 6.8-megawatt facility on the Bear River in Yuba County, California, operates under a revised water quality certification issued by the State Water Resources Control Board on October 22, 2025, amending the original certification dated May 16, 2022. The project includes Camp Far West Reservoir, dam, spillway, intake tower, powerhouse, switchyard, and two recreation areas, and the amendment primarily updates two conditions: Condition 2(D) concerning the evaluation of flows under State Clearinghouse Number 2021100570 and Condition 16 regarding the auxiliary spillway project under SCH No. 2018092009. The South Sutter Water District serves as the Lead Agency, with oversight and approval responsibilities resting with the State Water Resources Control Board, which determined that the amended certification complies with the California Environmental Quality Act, supported by a Negative Declaration finding no significant environmental impacts. There is no formal contract value, pricing structure, or procurement mechanism identified, as this is an environmental regulatory action rather than a federal procurement contract; consequently, no Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, payment terms, invoicing systems, or contractor assessment criteria apply. Performance obligations center on continued compliance with revised flow conditions and spillway design standards to ensure water quality and ecological integrity, with no specified timeline for implementation or delivery milestones outlined. While physical access to supporting environmental documentation such as the Environmental Impact Report and Negative Declaration is available at the Water Rights Library in Sacramento, there are no formal packaging, inspection, acceptance, or reporting procedures defined within the regulatory amendment itself. Key point of contact for environmental compliance is James Kyle Noss, Environmental Scientist at the State Water Resources Control Board, and Hayden Cornwell of the South Sutter Water District, though neither is formally designated as a contracting officer or representative. The project operates under state environmental law and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission licensing, but no federal acquisition systems, contractual forms, clauses, or socioeconomic certifications are involved, distinguishing it from traditional contracting frameworks.
