25-0343 - Well

Madera County is initiating the replacement of an existing residential water well located at the southeast corner of Avenue 23 1/2 and Road 24 in Madera, California, identified by Assessor’s Parcel Number 030-282-034. The project, designated as 25-0343 - Well, is classified as a forecast and is governed by California’s environmental regulations under the California Public Resources Code, specifically qualifying for a categorical exemption under CEQA Section 15301 as a replacement of an existing facility without expansion. No federal acquisition regulations or standard FAR clauses are applicable, as this is a state and locally administered project with no federal funding or contractual obligations tied to federal procurement standards. The work is limited to restoring pre-existing water service levels with no enhancements or additional capacity, and the primary deliverable is a fully operational replacement well constructed in accordance with standard local practices. The project is administered by Madera County’s Office of Planning and Research, with Trevor Stearns, Senior Planner, designated as the primary point of contact for administrative and compliance matters. The notice of exemption must be submitted via paper format to the Sacramento office, with a certified exemption document attached, and signatures are required to validate compliance. No formal contract type, estimated value, payment details, invoicing procedures, accounting codes, or evaluation criteria have been released, indicating the procurement is in an early planning or exemption confirmation phase rather than an active bidding or award stage. There are no specified delivery schedules, FOB terms, packaging requirements, COR/COTR assignments, or socioeconomic or size certifications required from contractors, and no indication of electronic submission portals or digital documentation standards. The process is streamlined under state law, relying on the completion of a single-page exemption form and physical submission, with no federal oversight or complex contractual clauses governing the work.
