Fremont Solar (Springbok 2 Solar Farm) Project by 63SU 8ME, LLC

The project involves the construction, operation, and decommissioning of a up to 100 megawatt photovoltaic solar power facility on approximately 715.16 acres in eastern Kern County, California, near California City and east of State Highway 14. The site includes a 677-acre solar array, access roads, onsite offices, and undeveloped buffer lands, with a Major Amendment introducing new permanent desert tortoise fencing along the west side of Parcel 49 and the construction, restoration, and compensatory mitigation of a four-acre staging and parking area. The project is expected to result in incidental take of the endangered desert tortoise and the threatened Mohave ground squirrel, requiring authorization under the California Endangered Species Act through an Incidental Take Permit issued by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Compliance with environmental regulations under CEQA and adherence to the approved mitigation and monitoring plan are mandatory, including habitat restoration, wildlife exclusion fencing, and ongoing biological reporting. The project is led by 63SU 8ME, LLC, with oversight responsibilities shared between Kern County as the lead agency and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife for permitting and environmental compliance. No federal contract clauses, pricing data, delivery schedules, invoicing methods, or formal acquisition terms are present in the documentation, as the materials focus exclusively on environmental permitting, regulatory conditions, and mitigation obligations rather than traditional procurement or contractual provisions. The posting date of December 1, 2025, reflects a project approval or notification milestone, not the initiation of a competitive solicitation or contract award process.
