2025 Stateline Test Hole Program

The South Tahoe Public Utility District is proceeding with the 2025 Stateline Test Hole Program to construct, develop, and test two monitoring wells at specified locations in South Lake Tahoe, California, specifically at 942 Tanglewood Drive and 2438 Cattlemans Trail. The project encompasses all necessary activities including site preparation, borehole drilling, geophysical logging, installation of fiberglass casing, placement of gravel envelopes and annular seals, well development, and comprehensive testing to ensure the wells are fully functional for long-term water quality monitoring. Surface completion will render each well operational as a permanent monitoring facility. The initiative is governed under California’s environmental regulations, with formal categorical exemption under CEQA Class 6 (15306), and complies with Public Resources Code Sections 21083, 21110, 21108, 21152, and 21152.1. A Notice of Exemption has been filed, confirming the project’s environmental compliance, and the lead agency contact is Mark Seelos, Water Resources Manager, reachable via phone and email provided. The place of performance is exclusively within South Lake Tahoe, with no indication of federal procurement involvement or Far clauses, and no contract value, pricing structure, or award methodology has been disclosed. The agency has not specified a period of performance, delivery schedule, invoicing method, or payment details, and no formal evaluation factors, contract type, or special requirements such as security clearances or labor standards have been outlined. All activities are expected to align with local environmental and well construction best practices, though no technical standards like ASTM or NGWA are explicitly referenced. Submission of required documentation relates to environmental compliance rather than a traditional bidding process, with physical submissions directed to Sacramento and the District’s office, though no formal deadline or proposal format is stated.
