Arlington Park Property Acquisition

The City of West Sacramento is acquiring 22.76 acres of undeveloped land at 2110 Arlington Road in West Sacramento, California, for the purpose of establishing future public park space. This land purchase is being conducted under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) through a Class 16 categorical exemption, which applies to the transfer of land for public park or recreation purposes where no significant environmental impact is anticipated. The acquisition does not involve construction or development at this stage; the primary objective is securing the parcel for long-term preservation and public use. The project is administered as an internal municipal action, with no formal federal acquisition structure, contract type, or FAR clauses applicable. The only monetary transactions referenced are a $50 environmental filing fee paid to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and a $850 payment tied to administrative processing, neither of which represents the total cost of the land purchase. The City has filed a Notice of Exemption with the California Office of Planning and Research on July 25, 2025, following certification that the project meets CEQA exemption criteria, triggering a mandatory 30-day public review period. All documentation is submitted in paper form to the Yolo County Clerk-Recorder’s Office, with no electronic submission portal or federal procurement systems like WAWF or IPP in use. Payment is handled manually via cash, check, or credit, and no formal contracting officer, COR, or COTR roles are designated. The lead agency contact is the Parks and Recreation Business Manager, Erin Ayala, with Kate Smith, Director of Parks and Recreation, overseeing implementation. No evaluation factors, pricing details, delivery schedules, or inspection criteria are defined beyond compliance with CEQA exemptions, and no contractor has been identified—this is a direct land acquisition by the municipal government.
