Environmental Categorical Exemption Documentation (Non-Competitive)

The contract involves the preparation and submission of documentation to support a categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act for a minor public lease concerning an existing pedestrian bridge that has been determined to have no significant environmental impact. This effort is necessary to comply with CEQA requirements without the need for a full environmental review, as the project falls under a recognized exemption due to its minimal nature and lack of measurable environmental effects. The work is scoped to ensure all regulatory criteria are met through thorough documentation, including site-specific analyses and legal justifications for the exemption. The contract is a non-competitive subcontract classified under NAICS code 541620, indicating environmental consulting services, and is managed by the California State Lands Commission. Performance of the work is focused in Red Bluff, California, where the pedestrian bridge is located. The solicitation was posted on July 7, 2026, and the associated project can be accessed via the CEQA Net portal. No set-aside provisions or additional contracting preferences are specified, and the documentation must be completed and submitted to support the validity of the categorical exemption for the public lease authorization.
