Fire Service Valve Installation by SHM Shelter Island, LLC

SHM Shelter Island, LLC will install a fire service backflow prevention valve, approximately two feet in length and including a meter, on an existing fire service line at 2330 Shelter Island Drive in San Diego, California. The work is entirely above ground with no soil disturbance, will be completed in approximately one day during September 2025 using only hand tools, and requires minimal staging adjacent to the service line. A Right of Entry (ROE) agreement is necessary to access the property, granting exclusive use for this single installation activity with no authority for additional construction, expansion, or alternative uses without written approval from the San Diego Unified Port District. The ROE has an anticipated term of five months or until completion and may be terminated by the District at any time with just 24 hours’ written notice. The project qualifies for a categorical exemption under CEQA Section 15301 as a minor alteration to an existing facility, and the applicant has filed a Notice of Exemption and related environmental documentation. No formal federal contract type, pricing, or FAR clauses are involved; the project is administered locally by the San Diego Unified Port District with an administrative fee of $150 paid for environmental compliance. Payment is processed through the San Diego County Clerk’s Office via cash, check, credit card, or VitalCheck, and no federal invoicing systems are used. The applicant, SHM Shelter Island, LLC, is the sole party responsible for installation, while the Port District oversees compliance and authorization, with no formal contracting officer, COR, or COTR designated. There are no socioeconomic status claims, labor standards, or performance metrics beyond the scope of the installation and maintenance.
