211-281 River Oaks Parkway Residential Project

The City of San Jose has approved the 211-281 River Oaks Parkway Residential Project, authorizing the demolition of three existing buildings totaling approximately 164,606 square feet and the removal of 220 trees, including 142 ordinance-sized trees, to make way for a new 737-unit multifamily residential development on a 9.82-acre site. The project, led by Valley Oak Partners LLC, includes the construction of two apartment buildings and 100 market-rate townhomes, with one building designated entirely as affordable housing, aligning with state and local affordability mandates. This development is subject to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance, which required the preparation and certification of an Environmental Impact Report and the formal filing of a Notice of Determination with the State Clearinghouse under SCH# 2024110255. The project does not involve federal acquisition regulations or any standard federal contract clauses, as it is governed entirely by local land use and environmental review processes. The only documented financial transaction is a $4,173.50 CEQA environmental filing fee paid to the City of San Jose and Santa Clara County Clerk-Recorder, which serves as an administrative cost for regulatory compliance rather than a contract value for construction or services. Performance of the project is limited to the designated site at 211 River Oaks Parkway, San Jose, California, with oversight conducted by the City’s Department of Planning, Building and Code Enforcement. Tina Garg, Planner IV, serves as the lead agency representative and de facto Contracting Officer’s Representative, while Kara Hawkins is the designated point of contact for contracting actions. The applicant, Scott Connelly of Valley Oak Partners LLC, is responsible for ensuring all approved mitigation measures are implemented and that the development adheres to local building codes and planning standards. No formal period of performance, delivery schedule, or construction contract is outlined in the documents, as the provided materials focus solely on environmental approvals and permitting, not on procurement terms, payment systems, or delivery conditions. There are no federal funding streams, appropriation codes, invoicing systems, or socioeconomic certifications present, and no special contractual requirements such as security clearances, key personnel provisions, or clauses beyond the scope of local environmental law apply. The entire regulatory process is confined to state and municipal frameworks, with no federal procurement structure or contractual obligations extending beyond the approval of land use and environmental compliance.
