25-0267-WELL

Madera County is proceeding with the replacement of a domestic well at 22314 Avenue 12, Madera, California, despite the new well’s location failing to meet the standard 300-foot setback requirement from an adjacent agricultural well. The project is administratively processed under California’s Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Categorical Exemption 15302, which classifies it as a minor alteration to existing facilities with no significant environmental impact, obviating the need for a full environmental review or competitive solicitation. The work is being carried out by Oasis FG Drilling, with Humberto Maciel identified as the applicant and Jacob Aragon, Planner III, serving as the lead agency contact. No federal acquisition regulations (FAR) clauses, contract values, payment terms, invoicing systems, or federal procurement mechanisms such as SAM.gov entity identifiers, socioeconomic certifications, or contract types are applicable or referenced, as this is a state-level, non-competitive administrative action handled under local environmental exemption protocols. The project’s scope is limited to the installation of a functional replacement well to serve the same domestic purpose as the previous one, with compliance focused primarily on adherence to CEQA exemptions and general state well construction standards implied by the setback rule. No formal evaluation factors, delivery schedules, FOB terms, packaging specifications, inspection criteria, or quality standards beyond the exemption criteria are documented. The place of performance is clearly identified, but there are no designated contracting officer representatives, technical representatives, or formal contract administration data such as appropriation codes or remittance details. Submission of a certified Notice of Exemption is the key procedural requirement, with the document signed on October 24, 2025, and posted publicly on October 27, 2025. All contractual and procedural elements remain confined to state and local environmental compliance frameworks without federal procurement structure, financial disclosures, or performance metrics beyond the basic construction and regulatory approval of the well.
