Adopt Resolution and Ordinance Establishing Rates and Charges for Water and Sewer Service Resolution No. UT-1537, Resolution No. RES-25-0127

The City of Long Beach, through the Port of Long Beach, is implementing a 12 percent increase in water and sewer service rates for customers within the Harbor District, effective October 1, 2025, as authorized by Board of Public Utilities Commissioners Resolution No. UT-1537 and City Council Resolution No. RES-25-0127. This action is a regulatory and administrative measure under California Public Resources Code Section 15273, which exempts public agencies from certain environmental review requirements when establishing or modifying service rates, tolls, fares, or charges to recover operational costs. There is no contracted vendor, procurement process, or service delivery involved; the effort consists solely of formalizing the rate adjustment through municipal resolutions and ensuring compliance with state law. The activity is not a traditional contract, and no CLINs, SLINs, payment systems, invoicing methods, or contracting officer roles are applicable. The Port of Long Beach, acting as both the lead agency and applicant, is responsible for adoption and implementation, with key contacts including Tyler Hanks, Director of Environmental Planning, and Angie Tam, Manager of Administration, Maintenance Division. The place of performance is exclusively within the Harbor District of Long Beach, California, and no physical goods, deliveries, packaging, or inspection criteria are involved. There is no estimated contract value, no solicitation number, and no formal acquisition lifecycle because this is not a procurement but a policy action governed by local ordinance and state statute. The posting date of December 9, 2025, indicates a forecast announcement, and the signing date of December 8, 2025, reflects the internal administrative execution of the resolutions. No offeror representations, certifications, socioeconomic status claims, UEI or CAGE codes are required or provided since no competitive bidding or contractor selection process exists. The action is purely an internal regulatory update to align service charges with cost recovery needs, with all legal authority derived from municipal resolutions and state exemption provisions, making all standard federal contract clauses, evaluation factors, and contracting administration provisions irrelevant.
