BACS Mental Health Rehabilitation Center (MHRC)

The City of Hayward is advancing a Disposition and Development Agreement with Bay Area Community Services to transfer property located at 3788 Depot Road in Hayward, California, for the construction of a 65,000-square-foot Mental Health Rehabilitation Center along with associated site improvements, including parking. This project is classified as an in-fill development and has been granted a categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15332, eliminating the need for full environmental review under Public Resources Code sections 21083, 21110, and related provisions. The agreement is not a federal procurement contract and therefore does not involve any Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, solicitation numbers, or standardized federal contracting structures. The project was posted as a forecast on December 18, 2025, with the same date serving as the filing and signing date for the exemption documentation. No contract value, pricing details, payment terms, invoicing method, or funding codes are specified in the available materials, indicating that financial terms remain undetermined or are not part of the public disclosure at this stage. Oversight and administrative responsibility rest with the City of Hayward’s Development Services Department, with Taylor Richard, Associate Planner, designated as the primary point of contact. While roles are outlined—City of Hayward as the lead agency overseeing approval and BACS as the entity executing the development—there are no formally assigned contracting officer representatives, inspection criteria, quality standards, or acceptance protocols detailed in the documentation. Submission of the certified exemption finding and Notice of Exemption to the Office of Planning and Research in Sacramento is required, but no deadlines, page limits, electronic submission requirements, or formal proposal formats are established. The project lacks federal contracting elements such as Unique Entity IDs, socioeconomic certifications, or FAR clauses, confirming its status as a locally administered land use and development initiative governed exclusively by California environmental and planning law.
