Lake County is seeking a contractor to restore habitat and improve channel conditions along Clover Creek near Upper Lake, California.
- **Government buyer:** County of Lake, through the Lake County Watershed Protection District and Department of Water Resources. The listed contact is Tyler Lindberg, Water Resources Program Coordinator.
- **Project:** Clover Creek Diversion Channel Habitat Enhancement Project, covering approximately 0.9 mile; anticipated budget is about $125,000.
- **Requested services:** Mobilization and site preparation; channel-bottom vegetation and root removal; sediment excavation and channel restoration; hauling and disposal of removed material; riprap installation at two levee-scour locations; and demobilization and site restoration.
- **Key requirements:** Remove roots and root balls to the extent practical. Vegetation may be masticated, but chippings and debris cannot remain on site; removed vegetation must go to a County-owned lot, where the County will handle burning. The contractor is responsible for hauling excavated sediment, gravel, and debris off site.
- **Environmental and scope conditions:** Coordinate ground-disturbing work with tribal cultural resources monitors. Minimize impacts to native vegetation on channel embankments; native trees over four inches DBH may not be removed or damaged without prior consultation and approval. Temporary water diversion and cofferdam work was removed from the scope; work is preferably done when the creek is dry, and any changed approach requires District review and approval.
- **Riprap:** The County supplies the riprap for two identified scour locations and pays approximately $2,000 per location for installation.
- **OEMs and vendors:** No product OEMs, commercial vendors, or prospective contractors are named.
