Surprise Valley Geothermal Exploration ProjectThe Surprise Valley Geothermal Exploration Project entails the drilling of up to eleven geothermal test wells across nine well pads in Modoc County, California, with each well penetrating between 3,000 and 5,000 feet underground. Each well pad will be equipped with a drilling rig, support infrastructure, portable restrooms, baker tanks for fluid capture, and project vehicles to support operations. The testing phase will involve flowing geothermal fluids from the exploratory wells into the baker tanks, where critical data such as temperature, pressure, flow rates, and chemical composition will be monitored and recorded to assess resource potential. To enable access to these remote well sites, three new access roads will be constructed, branching off from Surprise Valley Road, while existing roads may be widened, graded, or surfaced to handle heavy equipment transport, ensuring safe and reliable logistics throughout the project duration. The project is led by Modoc County, with the Planning Director, Sean Curtis, serving as the primary point of contact and Bruce Grove of SHN Engineering acting as the consultant. All work will take place in and around Alturas, California, with a zip code of 96115. The initiative is positioned as a forecasted opportunity with no solicitation number currently issued, and no set-aside classification has been specified, indicating open eligibility for contractors. The project seeks to advance geothermal energy exploration in the region through targeted subsurface testing, with infrastructure development designed to minimize long-term environmental impact while maximizing data collection efficiency. Public and regulatory engagement is expected to be managed through the California Environmental Quality Act process, as referenced by the provided CEQANET project link.

CUP23-0020/IS23-0026-Dogwood Geothermal Energy ProjectThe Dogwood Geothermal Energy Project is a development located on approximately 125 acres one mile south of Heber, California, in the Heber geothermal field, encompassing a geothermal power plant, a co-located solar facility, up to three production wells, one injection well, and a network of geothermal fluid pipelines totaling about 4,500 linear feet. The project, designated under CUP23-0020/IS23-0026, was approved by Imperial County as Lead Agency following the certification of a Final Environmental Impact Report in August 2025, with the California Geologic Energy Management Division issuing permits for well operations on May 27 and June 5, 2026, authorizing active well operations under API numbers 02591586 and 02591587. The scope includes site preparation, drilling, completion, and connection of wells to the pipeline infrastructure, with all activities subject to the mitigation measures and monitoring requirements established under the California Environmental Quality Act, including a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan and CEQA Findings adopted by Imperial County. Regulatory oversight is divided between Imperial County for land use and planning compliance and CalGEM for well operation permits, with no formal federal contract elements such as pricing, delivery schedules, or acquisition clauses present in the documentation. The project does not involve a traditional federal procurement, and there is no identified contract value, line-item pricing, or federal acquisition regulation structure. The place of performance is clearly identified as the Heber geothermal field in Imperial County, California, with administrative responsibilities handled through the Imperial County Planning & Development Services office in El Centro and CalGEM. While environmental compliance and permitting are fully documented, there are no provisions for federal contract administration, payment systems, inspection criteria beyond CEQA, or offeror representations typically required under federal acquisition processes.
