CORNING WATER DISTRICT WATER SERVICE CONNECTION PROJECT

The Corning Water District Water Service Connection Project involves the construction 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, supporting the goals of the Corning Groundwater Sustainability Plan to reduce groundwater dependence and ensure long-term sustainability in the Corning Subbasin. The work is being carried out by the Tehama County Flood Control and Water Conservation District as a lead agency, with the project site located in the unincorporated area of Tehama County, California, specifically within the Corning Subbasin identified by DWR Bulletin 118 and using the NAD 1983 California (Teale) Albers coordinate system for spatial accuracy. The project qualifies for categorical exemptions under Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 15301 and Section 15304, as it involves minor alterations to existing facilities with no significant environmental impact, and has been supported by documentation including a Notice of Exemption, a California Department of Fish and Wildlife No Effect Determination, and proof of prior fee payments. No formal contract value, pricing structure, or payment terms are provided, and no federal acquisition regulation clauses, contracting officer representatives, or procurement-specific details such as delivery schedules, inspection criteria, or acceptance procedures are included in the documentation. The project is posted as a forecast with no solicitation or contract number assigned, indicating it is in a planning or preparatory phase rather than a competitively awarded contract. Administrative details such as the filing date of September 18, 2025, and posting date of October 1, 2025, are noted, along with a primary point of contact: Justin Jenson, Deputy Director at the Tehama County Flood Control & Water Conservation District, reachable via phone and email. The absence of information regarding packaging, marking, inspection protocols, or financial accounting codes further reflects that this document primarily serves environmental and regulatory compliance purposes rather than establishing binding contractual obligations or federal procurement terms.
