City of Monterey Corp Yard EV Chargers

The City of Monterey is planning to install electric vehicle charging stations and associated power conditioning equipment at its Corporation Yard located at 23–27 Ryan Ranch Road in Monterey, California, with a ZIP code of 93940. The project includes trenching for electrical conduits and surface restoration, classified as a minor infrastructure improvement with no significant environmental impact. This activity qualifies for categorical exemptions under the California Environmental Quality Act, specifically CEQA Guidelines Sections 15303 (Class 3 – New Construction of Small Structures) and 15304 (Class 4(f) – Minor Alterations to Land), which have been formally documented and certified with an exemption notice signed on January 7, 2026. The City’s Public Works department is overseeing the project, with Christy Sabdo, Principal Planner, serving as the primary point of contact for inquiries. No federal procurement elements such as solicitation numbers, contract types, pricing data, or FAR clauses are present in the documentation; the project is administered as a local municipal initiative without federal funding or regulatory oversight. There is no established contract value, payment office, invoicing method, accounting codes, or formal evaluation criteria for award, as this phase of the process consists of environmental compliance preparation rather than a formal solicitation or award process. Deliverables include fully operational EV charging infrastructure with compliant electrical conduits and restored surfaces, with inspection and acceptance expected to occur at the installation site. No technical standards such as NEC or NEMA are explicitly cited, though compliance with municipal electrical and safety practices is implied. Submission of the certified CEQA exemption document is required to be filed with the Office of Planning and Research in Sacramento and the County Clerk in Salinas, though no formal deadline, electronic portal, or detailed proposal format has been specified. Representations, certifications, or socioeconomic status declarations from potential contractors are not applicable at this stage, as the project has not yet entered a competitive procurement phase. All activity remains focused on securing environmental clearance prior to proceeding with any contracting actions.
