Environmental Compliance and CEQA Documentation Support

The contract encompasses environmental compliance and support for CEQA documentation, specifically requiring the preparation and filing of a Notice of Exemption under Section 15304 to establish categorical exemption status for a project under the California Environmental Quality Act. The contractor is tasked with ensuring all procedural, technical, and regulatory requirements are met to support the exemption determination and must coordinate closely with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to address potential impacts on natural resources and fulfill interagency obligations. Work will be performed in San Diego under the auspices of the San Diego Unified Port District, with all activities aligned to the applicable environmental review framework and timelines tied to the project’s regulatory schedule. The contractor must possess expertise in CEQA procedures, environmental documentation, and interagency coordination, particularly with state agencies like CDFW, to facilitate timely approvals and avoid delays. The work falls under NAICS code 541620, indicating it involves environmental consulting services, and is structured as a subcontract within the broader project framework managed by the Port District. Although specific deliverables and milestones are not detailed here, success will be measured by the accurate and lawful submission of compliance materials and the establishment of a defensible exemption record that withstands regulatory scrutiny. Performance is expected to occur entirely within San Diego, with no indication of remote or outsourced work.
