GTS Cold Storage Project

The Town of Apple Valley is proceeding with the development of a 354,000 square foot cold storage logistics and warehouse facility on an 18.8-acre parcel located in Apple Valley, California, within the Mojave Desert Air Basin. Construction is expected to commence in mid-summer 2026 and span approximately 11 to 13 months, with key phases including site preparation from July 2 to July 15, 2026, grading from July 16 to August 12, 2026, and building construction scheduled to conclude in July 2027, despite an inconsistent end date noted in the documentation. The project is being managed under the oversight of the Town of Apple Valley, with primary contact provided by Richard Hirsch, Consulting Planner, and Maria Estrada, Project Agent. Environmental compliance is a central component of the project, requiring adherence to ASTM E1527-21 for a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment and compliance with California Water Resources Control Board Order No. 2013-0001-DWQ regarding stormwater Best Management Practices, including annual inspections, bi-weekly landscaping, and weekly litter control. The site, identified by APN 046323106, must also conform to Town of Apple Valley Municipal Code Section 9.73.050 for noise limits and implement a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan to meet NPDES permit requirements. Although no contract value, pricing details, or federal acquisition regulation clauses such as FAR sections for evaluation factors, contract administration data, or special requirements were explicitly outlined in the documentation, the project is linked to environmental assessment and geotechnical compliance frameworks that heavily influence project execution.
