City of Orange Cove Water System Improvement Project: Well Site B (City of Orange Cove, CA) Site Plan Review 2024-05

The City of Orange Cove is advancing a water system improvement project on a 3.68-acre parcel identified as APN 378-021-046T, involving the construction of a new water well, storage tank, booster pump station, stormwater basin, and associated water treatment infrastructure. The project is being managed under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) with a Mitigated Negative Declaration approved to address potential environmental impacts, including biological and cultural resource mitigation measures designated as BIO-1, BIO-2, and CUL-1, along with a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program to ensure compliance. All work must conform to state regulatory standards including the California Building Code Chapter 7A for Wildland Urban Interface fire safety, Title 24 energy efficiency requirements, California Air Resources Board emissions targets, and San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District guidelines. The project site is located at 1564 Tangerine Drive, Orange Cove, CA 93646, near the Friant-Kern Canal, with environmental documentation reviewed and filed through the State Clearinghouse under tracking number 2025030382. The City of Orange Cove serves as the Lead Agency, responsible for oversight, permitting, and regulatory compliance, with Samuel A. Escobar, City Manager, designated as the primary point of contact. No formal contract number, solicitation, or procurement type has been issued as the project is currently in a forecast phase with no pricing, payment terms, invoicing methods, or contract administration details such as COR, COTR, or PCO assignments identified. The funding source is linked to a DWR grant expiring February 28, 2026, but no contract value or cost estimates are available. Environmental compliance documentation, including IPaC and CNDDB reports, CHRIS search records, NAHC SLF results, and public comments with responses, form the basis of project approval, while no federal acquisition regulation clauses, packaging requirements, evaluation factors, or contractor representations are applicable or included in the current documentation. Performance remains focused on local environmental and water infrastructure objectives without federal contracting mechanisms or formal delivery schedules established.
