Extension of Surface Water Irrigation Service Within District

Reclamation District 108 is facilitating the Extension of Surface Water Irrigation Service Within District through the distribution of funds received from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation under the Drought Protection Program to individual landowners within Yolo and Colusa Counties, California. The project aims to support the construction of approximately 15 new service connections to existing district irrigation infrastructure, with one primary lateral to be built, owned, and operated by the district itself, while the remaining connections will be constructed by landowners who opt into the program. Each landowner-developed facility will include pipelines less than one mile in length, along with above-ground pump stations and turnouts occupying roughly 120 square feet, all located on or near disturbed agricultural lands. Landowners are responsible for securing any necessary easements from adjacent property owners if infrastructure extends beyond their own land. The project qualifies for categorical and statutory exemptions under CEQA, specifically referencing Class 3 for small structures and Public Resources Code Section 15282(k) for pipelines under one mile with proper easements. The district will act as the administrative and funding conduit, ensuring compliance with environmental exemptions, but no formal contract type, pricing, or procurement terms are specified, indicating this is a forecast notice rather than a solicitation. All construction activities will occur within the district’s boundaries as depicted on an attached map, and while the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation provides funding, no federal contracting officer, contracting representative, or formal inspection and acceptance protocol is designated. No federal acquisition regulations, contract clauses, or procurement certifications such as UEI, CAGE, or socioeconomic status are applicable or identified, as the framework is governed by state-level environmental compliance and local landowner participation rather than federal procurement rules.
