Description

STATEMENT OF PURPOSEThe West Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency (Agency/WSAFCA) invites prequalified firms to prepare environmental review documentation (Environmental Documents) pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to support the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and its contractor’s investigations, design, and construction activities for Sacramento River West North (SRNL) and Stone Lock levees as part of the West Sacramento Project.  The SRNL extends along the Sacramento River west bank from the Sacramento Weir to the barge canal.   Stone Lock is located in the center of the City of West Sacramento and the West Sacramento Team completed a conceptual design for a barrier across the lock.  Supplemental environmental documents may be needed for the Yolo Bypass East Levee (YBEL). The YBEL is located along the left bank of the Yolo Bypass from the confluence of the Sacramento Bypass and the Yolo Bypass south to the Navigation Levee (Deep Water Ship Channel (DWSC) West Levee).  These flood risk reduction projects will be developed and implemented by the USACE.  WSAFCA and the Central Valley Flood Protection Board (CVFPB) acting through the Department of Water Resources (DWR) are the non-federal sponsors for the West Sacramento Project and in a supporting position that includes environmental compliance.  WSAFCA will negotiate a contract for these services with the most qualified and cost-effective consultant.
