Addendum No. 1 to the 2019 Hillcrest LRDP EIR for the Outpatient Pavilion and Parking Project

The University of California, San Diego Health is advancing the Hillcrest Medical Center Renewal Project by initiating the Advanced Work Phase to replace its aging 1963 hospital with a new approximately 300-bed facility on the Hillcrest campus. This phase includes demolition of existing structures, site and utility preparation, and the procurement of critical long-lead items such as steel, elevators, and foundation components that can proceed without awaiting final design approval. All activities are tied to compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, guided by an Addendum to the 2019 Long Range Development Plan Environmental Impact Report, which evaluates the full scope of the renewal project including the Advanced Work Phase. The project is under the oversight of the University of California as the Lead Agency, with environmental review and mitigation monitoring managed through the established Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. The approval for this phase was finalized on July 15, 2026, and public documentation is accessible via the UC San Diego planning portal. No formal contract pricing, clauses, award evaluation criteria, or procurement details are present in the available materials, as the documentation centers solely on environmental approval and project planning under state law. The place of performance is clearly defined as the Hillcrest Campus in San Diego, California, with the Director of Physical and Environmental Planning serving as the primary point of contact for project-related inquiries. There is no indication of a competitive procurement process, contractual obligations imposed on vendors, or federal acquisition regulations governing the work, since the effort is driven by internal institutional planning and CEQA compliance rather than federal contracting procedures.
