CORNING WATER DISTRICT WATER SERVICE CONNECTION PROJECT

The Corning Water District Water Service Connection Project is a local initiative led by the Tehama County Flood Control and Water Conservation District to install a direct water service line connecting an existing customer to the district’s current water system, with the goal of delivering surface water when available. This project is a key component of the Corning Groundwater Sustainability Plan, designed to reduce reliance on groundwater and promote long-term sustainability in the Corning Subbasin. The work involves minimal infrastructure expansion limited to the service connection itself, with no new major facilities or significant alterations to existing systems. The project has been classified as ministerial under CEQA and is categorically exempt under Class 1 and Class 4 provisions due to its low environmental impact, eliminating the need for extensive environmental review. There is no formal contract value specified, no solicitation number, and no standard federal procurement structure such as FAR clauses, contract types, or evaluation factors are present, as this is primarily an administrative and environmental compliance filing rather than a competitive federal acquisition. All contractual and project administration functions are managed directly by the Tehama County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, with Justin Jenson, Deputy Director, serving as the primary point of contact. The project location is in the unincorporated area of Tehama County, California, at coordinates 39.96162 N, 122.25359 W. No formal delivery schedule, invoicing procedures, payment office details, or accounting codes such as TAS or ACRN are provided, and the only monetary transaction referenced is a $50 environmental filing fee, which is not indicative of the project’s overall cost. There are no identified contractors, no competitive bidding process, and no federal representation or certification requirements such as UEI, CAGE codes, or socioeconomic status designations. The documentation focuses on environmental compliance, including submission of a Notice of Exemption and CDFW No Effect Determination, with all work being carried out directly by the public agency rather than through external vendors. The project is not structured as a procurement under federal acquisition regulations and operates entirely within state and local environmental and water management frameworks.
