Application Number 251304 - Retaining Wall

The project involves reconstructing approximately 105 linear feet of retaining walls with a maximum height of 8.5 feet located within front and side yard setbacks at 3740 Hardin Way in Soquel, California, with portions extending into a private right-of-way and onto a neighboring parcel identified by APN 040-441-10. This work is subject to an Administrative Site Development Permit and is classified under a CEQA Class 2 exemption for replacement or reconstruction of existing structures, indicating it qualifies for a ministerial approval process without the need for full environmental review. The project is forecasted by Santa Cruz County’s Planning Division, with no formal solicitation number or competitive procurement process established, and no contract value, pricing, or payment terms are specified in the available documentation. The applicant, Coleman Lyles, is listed as the project proponent, while Michael Lam serves as the primary planner and point of contact for local permitting oversight. No federal acquisition regulations, contract clauses, or procurement evaluation factors apply to this effort, as it is a local land use and environmental compliance matter governed by California’s CEQA rather than federal contracting rules. There are no specified periods of performance, delivery schedules, invoicing methods, or technical standards such as ASTM or Caltrans referenced in the materials, and no representations, certifications, or socioeconomic disclosures are required or provided. Inspection and acceptance will occur at the project site under the authority of Santa Cruz County, with oversight focused on compliance with the CEQA exemption and local permitting requirements rather than formal contract administration. The absence of FAR clauses, CAGE codes, UEI numbers, payment details, COR/COTR assignments, or procurement contract types confirms this is a non-federal, administrative permit action rather than a federal contract award.
