Happy Valley Boulder Barrier Project

The Oswit Land Trust is proposing to construct a 2,800-foot boulder barrier along the perimeter of its Happy Valley property in Indio Hills, California, to deter unauthorized off-road vehicle use and preserve the natural environment of the site, which includes APNs 750-130-006 and 750-130-008 on Dillon Road. Alongside the barrier, informational and regulatory signage will be installed to educate the public on property rules and local habitat conservation efforts. The project is administered by the Coachella Valley Mountains Conservancy, with Diana Rosas serving as the primary point of contact. The initiative is classified under a Class 4 categorical exemption under CEQA Section 15304, indicating it involves minor land alterations with no significant environmental impact and is therefore exempt from formal environmental review. The Notice of Exemption was signed on November 21, 2025, and must be filed with both the California Office of Planning and Research and the Riverside County Clerk’s office. There is no defined contract value, pricing structure, or detailed cost breakdown provided, and no federal acquisition regulations or standard contract clauses are applicable, as the project does not fall under federal procurement rules. The place of performance is clearly limited to the Happy Valley property, and submissions for related documentation must be mailed in hard copy by the November 21, 2025 deadline, with no electronic submission options specified. No packaging, preservation, labeling, or transportation requirements are outlined, nor are there any specifications for materials, installation standards, inspection criteria, or quality assurance measures. No key personnel, security clearances, contract options, or conflict of interest provisions are required, and the acquisition is not subject to small business set-asides or socioeconomic considerations. The lead agency remains responsible for ensuring compliance with CEQA exemption requirements, but no formal contracting officer, technical representative, or payment office details are provided.
