1.0 Purpose and Objectives

Siskiyou County is the fifth largest county in California by geographic area, yet ranks 45th in

population, with only about 44,076 residents as of 2021. This combination of vast land area

and a small, widely dispersed population presents substantial challenges for environmental

monitoring, enforcement, and cleanup activities. With limited staffing and financial resources,

the County faces ongoing difficulties in proactively identifying, responding to, and remediating

illegal dumping sites.

These constraints allow illegal dumping and the accumulation of hazardous waste to persist far

longer than is acceptable for protecting public health, natural resources, and agricultural

operations. Without additional support, the County’s capacity to address both existing and

emerging sites remains severely limited. Grant‑funded programs are therefore essential. They

strengthen local capabilities, enable timely cleanup and abatement, and help prevent further

environmental degradation that cannot be adequately addressed under current resource

limitations.

To meet these needs, the Environmental Health Division of the County of Siskiyou is seeking

qualified contractors to provide professional services and to establish a pool of prequalified

vendors who can respond on an as‑needed basis to individual cleanup sites under the Farm

and Ranch Solid Waste Cleanup and Abatement Grant Program.

CalRecycle administers this program pursuant to California Code of Regulations section

17991(d) to support the cleanup and prevention of illegal dumping on farm and ranch

properties. The grant serves as a critical tool for safeguarding public health, protecting

agricultural lands, and preserving environmental quality. Each site is eligible for a budget of up

to $50,000, with up to four sites anticipated per fiscal year.

2.0 Scope of Work (SOW)

Qualified contractors shall provide all labor, equipment, materials, supervision, and incidentals

necessary to complete illegal dumping cleanup and abatement activities. The proposed

projects may include the removal of illegally dumped trash, hazardous waste, recyclables,

refuse, and the installation of fencing and access gates. The projects are located throughout

the County. The Contractor is responsible for all the prescribed work, materials, waste permits,

and associated equipment necessary to complete the project.

All Contractors are required to be licensed, insured, and bonded. Attachment C outlines

contract details to be completed for awarded contractors as well as insurance requirements for

all county vendors.

The awarded contractor shall furnish a performance bond within fifteen (15) calendar days of

price.

Timeline will be agreed upon by the selected Contractor at the start of each project. In the case

that all the work is not completed within the specified timeframes, damage will be sustained by

the Count of Siskiyou and that it would be impractical to ascertain actual damages and it is

therefore agreed the Contractor will pay to the County the sum set forth herein per day for
