Curtimade Dairy, Inc. (PSP07-011)

Curtimade Dairy, Inc. is expanding its existing dairy operation in Tulare, California, under a special use permit process governed by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), not a federal procurement contract. The project involves increasing the facility’s capacity from 5,199 to 6,566 animal units by replacing two 88-stall herringbone milking parlors with a single 100-stall rotary milking parlor, adding freestall housing with flush systems, shaded corrals, calf hutches, and related infrastructure across a 143-acre expansion on a 1,395-acre site. Environmental review was completed through an adopted Environmental Impact Report (EIR), with binding mitigation measures and a monitoring plan enforced by the Tulare County Resource Management Agency and the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District. The site is located at 18337 Road 24, Tulare, CA, and approval was granted by the Tulare County Planning Commission on January 25, 2012. Financial obligations are managed through the Tulare County Auditor-Controller and Clerk-Recorder offices, with payments tied to administrative fees such as the EIR filing fee (Invoice No. EIR 07-011), but no contract value, pricing, or federal appropriation data is available. There are no federal contract clauses, contracting officers, or procurement mechanisms in place; instead, oversight is regulatory, focused on environmental compliance, land use, and air quality permitting. No solicitation, bid evaluation, or award process exists, and the project is not subject to FAR provisions, federal accounting codes, or technical delivery specifications. The applicant, Curtimade Dairy, Inc., with contact Todd Jones and administrative support from Sandy Roper of Tulare County, is responsible for implementing the approved plan in full compliance with CEQA conditions, and all inspections and acceptances are administered locally through county agencies.
