Caltrans Acquisition of a Portion of the Barstow Sanitary Landfill Along SR 247

Caltrans is acquiring 5.43 acres of surplus property from the San Bernardino County Department of Public Works Solid Waste Management Division along State Route 247 between Stoddard Wells Road and Interstate 15 in Barstow to support roadway improvement efforts. The transaction is structured as a surplus land transfer under categorical exemptions from the California Environmental Quality Act, specifically Class 12 (Section 15312) for disposal of public property and the Common-Sense Exemption (Section 15061(b)(3)), which confirms no significant environmental impact is anticipated. The project is classified as a forecasted action with no formal solicitation number or competitive bidding process outlined, indicating it is an administrative acquisition rather than a competitive procurement. The place of performance is clearly defined as Barstow, California, with no delivery schedules, FOB terms, or packaging requirements applicable due to the nature of the real estate transfer. No contract value, pricing details, or financial metrics are provided, and there are no specified clauses, evaluation factors, or administrative requirements typically found in federal procurement contracts. Key points of contact include Arlene B Chun as Engineering Manager and Noel Castillo as Director from the County’s Solid Waste Management Division, with Patrick Egle serving as the lead agency contact. The acquisition involves a transfer of ownership with no construction, service, or performance deliverables beyond the land conveyance, and no invoicing, payment office, accounting codes, or inspection criteria are detailed in the documentation. There are no representations, certifications, or socioeconomic qualifications required from any party, and no corporate identifiers such as UEI or CAGE codes are associated with the transaction. The contract is not tied to traditional government contracting frameworks, relying instead on statutory authority for surplus property disposal and environmental exemptions.
