Foothill College Tennis Courts Renovations CEQA Exemption

The Foothill-De Anza Community College District is undertaking the resurfacing of existing tennis courts at its Los Altos Hills campus, located at 12345 El Monte Road, with the addition of pickleball lines and new lighting systems. The physical dimensions of the courts will remain unchanged, and there will be no increase in student enrollment, but the modifications will expand recreational capacity by enabling pickleball play alongside tennis, thereby increasing usage and utility of the facility. Public access to the courts will continue uninterrupted. The project is classified under NAICS code 237990 and is governed by a CEQA exemption, with environmental compliance focused on noise and vibration impacts from construction equipment such as dozers, loaders, cranes, and concrete saws. Assessments are conducted according to FTA guidelines, ensuring noise levels do not exceed 80 dBA Leq during daytime hours at residential receptors located 50 feet from the source or property line, and vibration remains within the FTA limit of 0.2 in/sec PPV. Measurement standards follow ANSI S1.4 for sound level accuracy and local town ordinances for compliance. The construction period is estimated at 13 weeks, commencing after CEQA approval and subsequent bidding. PlaceWorks is involved as the environmental consultant preparing the technical documentation, but no formal contracting officer, COR, COTR, or PCO roles are designated in the materials. Payment details, accounting codes, invoicing systems, contract value estimates, and procurement evaluation criteria are not provided. The project does not include federal contract clauses, packaging specifications, or socioeconomic requirements, and no bid submission instructions or deadlines are outlined. The primary objective is to enhance campus recreation offerings through modest infrastructure improvements while maintaining environmental and regulatory compliance.
