Finkbiner Park Multi-Benefit Stormwater Capture

The City of Glendora is advancing the Finkbiner Park Multi-Benefit Stormwater Capture Project to construct a regional underground facility beneath the existing ballfields that will capture, treat, and infiltrate stormwater runoff from two adjacent drainage areas. This initiative aims to enhance flood control, improve water quality, and increase groundwater recharge within the USGR Watershed while simultaneously delivering public recreational upgrades. The project includes replacing demolished park infrastructure with new in-kind recreational features, converting the northern alley into a green alley with permeable pavement, and creating a passive recreation zone in the southeast portion of the park featuring a recirculating stream, native landscaping, and a walking path. Environmental compliance is governed by the California Environmental Quality Act, with a Mitigated Negative Declaration executed to affirm no significant environmental impact, and required attachments such as the CDFW No Effect Determination and Notice of Exemption support regulatory clearance. All project activities occur on-site at Finkbiner Park, located at 116 E. Foothill Blvd, Glendora, California, with the City serving as the Lead Agency and Project Applicant. No federal contract types, funding sources, or acquisition clauses are involved; this is a locally administered infrastructure project funded and managed by municipal resources. While a fee of $3,068.75 was paid for environmental filing, the overall project budget is not disclosed. The City’s Project Applicant, Maliha Fatima Ansari, serves as the primary contact, and the Public Works Director holds approval authority. Performance is expected to align with state stormwater BMP standards and CEQA requirements, with acceptance occurring on-site and no formal inspection protocols or invoicing systems specified beyond manual payment methods. No federal procurement mechanisms, contracting officer roles, or socioeconomic certifications apply, as the procuring entity is a public agency rather than a private contractor.
