Day Use and Campground - Geotech

Geotechnical investigations are scheduled for the Day Use and Campground areas of George J. Hatfield State Recreation Area in Newman, California, to evaluate subsurface soil conditions in support of planned facility improvements for park visitors. The work will involve drilling seven borings, each between 5 and 7.5 inches in diameter and 5 to 15 feet deep, using a truck-mounted drill equipped with hollow-stem or solid flight augers. All borings will be logged according to the Unified Soil Classification System and properly backfilled with the original excavated material to restore site conditions. The project is categorized as exempt under California Code of Regulations sections 15300.4 and 15306, as it pertains to resource evaluation without significant environmental impact. The California Department of Parks and Recreation is the contracting agency, with Monica Aleman serving as the primary point of contact for environmental coordination. Performance is limited to the recreation area in Merced County, and no pricing, contract value, or payment details are provided in the available documentation. The solicitation does not include standardized Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, evaluation factors, representative certifications, special requirements, or formal instructions for proposal submission, suggesting this is a notice of intent or exemption notice rather than a competitive solicitation with defined award criteria. No delivery schedules, FOB terms, invoicing methods, or accounting codes are specified, and while a physical address for the agency is listed, no formal contract execution details or timeline are indicated.
