What this contract is for

Agency: County of Sacramento - Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency
Location: Sacramento, CA
Scope: State & Local

The Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency (SAFCA) invites you to submit a proposal to lease agricultural lands at various locations in the Natomas Basin, in northwestern Sacramento County and southeastern Sutter County. SAFCA has assumed long term Operations and Maintenance (O&M) obligations for specific areas in these general locations, many of which include mitigation sites that were established to compensate for habitat impacts resulting from flood system infrastructure improvements. SAFCA is required to ensure that these mitigation sites continue to meet performance criteria per statutory regulatory permits. To meet these requirements, portions of these lands are kept in agricultural production specifically to provide foraging habitat for Swainson’s hawk and habitat for other species listed under the federal and state Endangered Species Acts. Proposals may be for one (1) property, all seven (7) properties, or any subset of properties that the applicant chooses. Selection of a lessee for each property will be done on a property-by-property basis. An applicant may be selected to enter a lease for all, some, or none of the properties for which they submitted a proposal, but reflecting the applicant’s proposed property grouping(s).

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
