Bear Valley CSD Front Gate Emergency Standby Generator

The Bear Valley Community Services District is overseeing the installation of a standby emergency generator at the main front gate facility located at 25101 Bear Valley Road in Tehachapi, California. The primary objective of this project is to ensure continuous electrical power for gate and emergency access operations during utility outages. The technical scope includes the installation of a Generac G007210-10 24 kW, 240/120V single phase natural-gas/liquid-propane generator, a 250-gallon liquid propane tank, two cast-in-place concrete equipment pads, an automatic transfer switch, and all necessary underground electrical conduit and gas piping. All work will be performed on previously developed ground adjacent to the existing guard house, ensuring no expansion of the facility's current use. The project must adhere to NFPA 58 clearances and separation requirements and is compliant with Kern County Fire Department permits. This project has been granted exemptions under CEQA Class 1 and Class 3 as it involves the installation of minor new equipment. Administrative oversight is managed by the Public Works Project Manager, Katie Morgan, with the project categorized under NAICS code 238210.
