Chem-Weed Lease Agreement BLDG 410

The Port of Stockton is issuing a new lease agreement to Chem-Weed, LLC for the continued use of 3,528 square feet of existing interior space in Building 410 at the West Complex, located at 410 Gilmore Avenue in Stockton, California. This lease modification results from a business acquisition, where Chem-Weed has taken over operations previously conducted by another tenant, necessitating a name change on the lease without altering the nature of use, which remains the storage of weed abatement supplies and equipment. The project qualifies for a categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), specifically Class 1, Section 15301, as it involves the continued use of an existing facility without expansion or significant environmental impact. Environmental compliance requirements have been fulfilled, including the filing of a Notice of Exemption with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, submission of a No Effect Determination, and payment of associated regulatory fees, with remittances directed to either CDFW or the San Joaquin County Clerk. The lease does not include new construction, change in use, or additional square footage, and no formal pricing, payment structure, or contracting officer details are disclosed in the documentation, suggesting this is primarily an administrative update to an existing agreement. The Port of Stockton remains responsible for oversight and approval, with Jason Cashman, Director of Environmental Affairs, designated as the primary point of contact. All environmental documentation and compliance activities must be maintained on-site, with no electronic invoicing, federal contracting clauses, or procurement evaluation factors applicable, as this is a local lease governed by state environmental regulations rather than federal acquisition standards.
