This is Information Letter No. 1 issued by the California Department of Water Resources regarding Specification No. 25-06 (Contract No. C51681) for site restoration work at Oroville in Butte County. The project involves the final phase of revegetating and rehabilitating hillslope areas impacted by the Oroville Spillways Emergency Response and Recovery Project, with an estimated cost range of $12,500,000 to $14,000,000. Bidders must hold valid contractor's licenses classified as A and C-27 or A with C-27 Sub. The information letter clarifies three key questions received during the bidding process: umbrella liability coverage is required in addition to general liability limits per Document 00 72 44; Builder's Risk Insurance is not required for this contract; and site inspection access is restricted due to security protocols at the Oroville Dam site. All attendees must present valid government-issued identification for temporary visitor passes and have a signed Non-Disclosure Agreement on file prior to the site visit. The site trip will include a presentation at the parking lot followed by an escorted vehicle tour along a designated route, with handouts provided showing areas of interest.
Access to bid documents requires completion, signing, scanning, and return of a Non-Disclosure Agreement to doe_specs@water.ca.gov. Interested contractors should direct additional questions regarding the project to the same email address. The letter was issued by Judy Li, Section Manager of the Public Works Contracting Branch, on November 14, 2025. No specific bid due date or award date is stated in this information letter, which serves to clarify requirements and procedures for prospective bidders on this emergency recovery project.
