CORNING WATER DISTRICT WATER SERVICE CONNECTION PROJECT

The Corning Water District Water Service Connection Project involves the installation of a direct water service line from the existing Corning Water District system to an established customer to provide access to surface water when available, as part of broader efforts to implement the Corning Groundwater Sustainability Plan and reduce groundwater dependence in the Corning Subbasin. The project is classified as a minor alteration to existing facilities with negligible environmental impact, qualifying for categorical exemptions under CEQA Sections 15301 and 15304, which eliminated the need for an environmental impact report or fee payment. All work is limited to the Corning Subbasin in Tehama County, California, with no significant land disturbance anticipated, and no new infrastructure beyond the service connection is planned. The procurement is listed as a forecast with no solicitation number assigned for competitive bidding, and no contract value has been specified, with pricing details absent from all sections including line items or cost estimates. The Tehama County Flood Control and Water Conservation District is the lead agency responsible for project execution, with Justin Jenson listed as the primary point of contact for administrative matters. No formal FAR clauses, contract administration data such as AAC or TAS codes, invoicing systems, or award evaluation factors are included in the documentation, indicating a streamlined administrative process consistent with state-level environmental exemptions and local public works procedures. Submission requirements center on the filing of a Notice of Exemption and proof of payment for administrative fees, with physical delivery to the Tehama County Clerk-Recorder’s office in Red Bluff or the Office of Planning and Research in Sacramento by September 18, 2025. No UEI, CAGE code, small business certifications, or socioeconomic representations are required or provided, and the project operates without federal procurement mandates, relying instead on state environmental and administrative frameworks. Performance is expected at the customer location within the Corning Subbasin, with inspection and acceptance occurring on-site under the agency’s oversight, and no binding delivery schedule, FOB terms, or packaging standards are defined.
