Geotechnical Investigation – Harbor Development Permit No. 25-032

The contract pertains to a geotechnical field investigation in support of the City of Long Beach’s Russian Submarine Support project under Harbor Development Permit No. 25-032, with work focused on conducting approximately three soil borings and five cone penetration tests to gather subsurface data for engineering design and permitting purposes. The activity is classified under CEQA Guidelines Section 15306 as a Class 6 exemption for information collection, indicating minimal environmental impact and no requirement for formal environmental review, with the place of performance located at the Pier H Parking Lot in Harbor Planning District 9, Queensway Bay, Long Beach, California. The project is administered by the Port of Long Beach’s Harbor Department and Environmental Planning Division, with Amy Wong serving as the primary point of contact for environmental matters and Stephen Figueira as the Senior Civil Engineer overseeing technical aspects. Despite the context involving national security-related infrastructure, no security clearances, key personnel stipulations, organizational conflict of interest provisions, or special clauses are specified in the documentation. The contract does not include federal acquisition regulation clauses, formal evaluation factors, pricing details, payment or invoicing instructions, accounting codes, packaging or marking requirements, or prescribed technical standards such as ASTM or AASHTO. No period of performance, delivery schedule, FOB terms, or contract value are provided, and the solicitation operates under a simplified procurement framework aligned with state environmental exemption procedures rather than federal acquisition protocols. Submissions must be made electronically through the State Clearinghouse CEQA Portal, but no deadline, format restrictions, or page limits are stated. Representations and certifications typically required in federal contracts, including UEI, CAGE codes, or socioeconomic status attestations, are absent, and no contracting officer, COR, or COTR roles are formally designated, though individuals are identified as responsible for oversight. The primary deliverable is the subsurface geotechnical data collected, intended solely to inform foundation and structural design decisions for harbor development activities.
