Environmental Compliance and CEQA Documentation Support

The contract requires the preparation and submission of environmental documentation under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to support a Class 4 Categorical Exemption for a drone light show event at Tuna Harbor Park in San Diego. The work focuses on demonstrating that the proposed activity meets the criteria for exemption under CEQA section 15304, which applies to minor changes to existing facilities involving negligible environmental impact. The submitter must ensure all regulatory thresholds are met, including analyses of potential effects on wildlife, noise, visual disturbance, and public safety, while documenting compliance with state environmental guidelines. The deliverables must be thorough, legally defensible, and tailored to satisfy California’s CEQA requirements for categorical exemptions without the need for an Environmental Impact Report or Negative Declaration. This subcontract is issued under NAICS code 541620, indicating it falls under environmental consulting services, and is directly tied to the San Diego Unified Port District’s efforts to facilitate events in public spaces while adhering to environmental regulations. The performance location is clearly defined as Tuna Harbor Park, and the documentation must be finalized and submitted according to CEQA procedures, with the project referenced through the designated CEQA Net tracking number. The contract does not specify additional requirements beyond the CEQA exemption support, implying the scope is limited to the preparation and submission of the exemption package and does not include event planning, permitting, or operational oversight. Timing and milestones are not outlined but will align with the scheduled drone light show and regulatory review deadlines.
