Approval of First Amendment to Revenue Lease Agreement (First Amendment) with Care-A-Van, Inc., at the Hemet Service Center

Riverside County has approved a first amendment to the revenue lease agreement with Care-A-Van, Inc. for the Hemet Service Center located at 749 State Street, Hemet, California. The amendment corrects the lease term by extending it to a five-year period retroactively effective from January 1, 2024, and terminating on December 31, 2028. No changes are made to the facility’s use, capacity, or intensity of operations; Care-A-Van continues to provide low- and no-cost transportation services to seniors, low-income individuals, and persons with disabilities in the Hemet, San Jacinto, and Lake Elsinore areas without expansion or modification to its existing activities. The amendment is categorized under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and qualifies for exemption under Class 1 (Existing Facilities) and the Common Sense Exemption, as no environmental impacts are anticipated due to the purely administrative nature of the term correction. The project does not involve any new construction, increased services, or operational changes that would trigger environmental review. The lease amendment is administrative in nature and does not involve competitive procurement, pricing, or cost structures; no contract value, line-item costs, or financial obligations are specified. Payment processing and administrative oversight are managed internally by Riverside County Facilities Management, with billing handled via journal voucher using the accounting string 524830-47220-7200400000-FM047310004800. Mike Sullivan, Facilities Operations Manager, serves as the primary point of contact for contract administration and billing, with April Gallup assisting in documentation. The agreement does not include federal acquisition regulation clauses, as it is a local government lease adjustment under state law. Submission of the Notice of Exemption and Authorization to Bill by Journal Voucher serve as the sole required documentation, with no solicitation, proposal submission deadlines, or electronic filing requirements specified. The facility remains under the same operational conditions with no modifications to staffing, services, or physical infrastructure.
