Costco Fuel Station Expansion

The project involves the expansion of an existing Costco fuel dispensing station in San Juan Capistrano, California, at 33949 Doheny Park Road. The current facility features a 6,804 square-foot canopy and eleven fuel dispensers providing twenty-two pumps. The proposed expansion will increase the canopy by 5,826 square feet, resulting in a total canopy area of 12,630 square feet, and add seven new fuel dispensers, bringing the total number of dispensers to eighteen and the total number of pumps to thirty-six. The scope of work includes internal reconfiguration of the northwestern corner of the parking lot, extension of the car wash queueing lane, removal and replacement of asphalt pavement and concrete curbs, and landscaping improvements that involve replacing eleven existing trees. Two new fueling lanes and one emergency lane will be incorporated to accommodate the expanded operations. The project has been determined to be exempt under CEQA Section 15301(e)(2), Class 1, as a minor alteration to an existing facility with no significant environmental impact, eliminating the need for a full environmental review. The City of San Juan Capistrano is the lead agency overseeing the project, with Dominic Matias, Assistant Planner, serving as the primary point of contact, and Laura Stokes, Environmental Administrator, also involved in oversight. The project was posted as a forecast on July 24, 2025, with the Notice of Exemption signed on July 23, 2025, indicating this is a planning and regulatory notification rather than a formal solicitation or awarded contract. There is no contract value, pricing, payment terms, invoicing method, or detailed delivery schedule provided, consistent with its classification as a forecast. No FAR clauses, contractual terms, evaluation factors, inspection criteria, or offeror certifications are included, as the documentation is focused solely on environmental compliance and project description. The contractor, Alberto Esquivel, is listed as the project applicant but no formal contracting officer, COR, or COTR is designated, and no procurement structure beyond the notice of exemption is established. The project will be performed entirely on-site at the specified location in San Juan Capistrano, with no shipping, packaging, or federal logistics requirements applicable.
