Bodega Marine Lab EV Chargers

The University of California, Davis is undertaking a modification to the electrical infrastructure at the Bodega Bay Marine Lab to install three new Electric Vehicle charging stations, along with associated concrete footings, pedestals, trenching for conduit, above-ground electrical lines, smart electrical panels, and replacement of existing stoves. This project is classified as a minor alteration to existing facilities under California’s Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Class 1 exemption, which confirms negligible environmental impact and eliminates the need for extensive environmental review. Work will occur at the lab’s location at 2099 Westshore Road in Bodega Bay, California, with inspection and acceptance performed on-site by the University as the responsible government entity. Although the project involves significant electrical upgrades, no contract value, pricing details, or formal financial obligations are specified in the available documentation. There is no formal solicitation or contract number assigned, and the transaction is categorized as a forecast rather than a finalized contract. No Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses apply, as the project operates solely under state environmental compliance procedures and does not involve federal funding or procurement mechanisms requiring FAR adherence. There are no identified contracting officers, representatives, or formal evaluation criteria, and no socioeconomic or entity certifications such as UEI or CAGE codes are provided, as the applicant is an institutional entity rather than a commercial vendor. Payment instructions, invoicing systems, accounting codes, and delivery terms are absent, with only the administrative mailing address of the University’s Office of Planning and Research in Sacramento referenced for official correspondence. The project relies on internal university processes and CEQA exemptions, with no external contractor or competitive bidding process documented.
