For the Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District
Fremont, California

Questa prepared a grant application and secured $786,000 in funding from the Department of Water Resources Urban Streams Restoration Program for the Alameda County Flood Control District for construction of this project. Partnered with Fremont's Math/Science Nucleus, a non-profit educational and research organization, the project restored and enhanced 3,100 lineal feet of Mission Creek and provided environmental education opportunities for several nearby schools.

In addition to the preliminary design, we prepared the CEQA review document, all project permitting, final Plans and Specifications, and bid documents.

The creek restoration work involved the creation of a meandering low-flow channel with planted terraces, riparian revegetation, biotechnical erosion control, and flood hazard reduction. The project also included the replacement of an existing bicycle/pedestrian pathway and bridges, and construction of an outdoor classroom seating area.
