Environmental Assessment Application No. T-6376/P21-05373/P21-05090

The City of Fresno is undertaking a land reorganization to annex approximately 39.90 acres located on the west side of South Armstrong Avenue, between the San Joaquin Valley Railroad and East Church Avenue, from the unincorporated area of Fresno County into the city limits. This action involves detaching the territory from the Fresno County Fire Protection District and the Kings River Conservation District. The project is being managed as a lead agency undertaking under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), with a Notice of Determination filed on May 21, 2025, under document number E202410000345 and state clearinghouse number 2025041285. The environmental review concluded with the adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration, indicating that potential environmental impacts have been reduced to less than significant through mitigation measures. All environmental documentation, including the MND, CDFW No Effect Determination, and fee payment receipts, has been submitted and recorded through Fresno County Clerk’s Office, with project records maintained at the City of Fresno Planning and Development Department. Approval by the Fresno LAFCo was granted on September 10, 2025, and the final NOD was signed on September 16, 2025. No traditional contract structure, procurement clauses, or federal acquisition regulation components are present in the documentation, as this is an administrative land use and environmental compliance process, not a federal procurement action. Although the NAICS code 541620 is listed and a forecast-type record exists, no solicitation, contract value, payment terms, delivery schedule, or performance metrics are applicable under federal acquisition guidelines. The only financial transactions referenced are one-time regulatory fees paid to Fresno County and state agencies for filing and review purposes, such as the $2,968.75 MND fee and $50 recording fee, which are not contractually obligating expenditures. Responsibility for project implementation rests entirely with the City of Fresno as the lead agency, with oversight from LAFCo and filing handled by the Fresno County Clerk’s Office. No contractors or vendors are involved, and there are no designated CORs, COTRs, or procurement contracting officers. The project’s focus remains strictly on compliance with CEQA requirements and local land use governance to facilitate municipal boundary expansion.
