Holmes New Domestic Well

A new domestic groundwater well is being constructed to serve an existing single-family residence located at Idylbar Lane in Arcata, California, within the unincorporated area of Humboldt County. The project, identified by solicitation number EH-WWELLA-25-000030 and titled "Holmes New Domestic Well," is classified as a minor alteration involving the installation of a small structure and qualifies for exemption under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15303, which categorizes such projects as having no significant environmental impact. Fisch Drilling Service is the designated contractor, while Mike Holmes is listed as the applicant and Cliff Johnson of Humboldt County’s Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Environmental Health, serves as the primary point of contact for regulatory oversight. The well is expected to meet basic domestic water needs for the residence, though specific technical specifications such as depth, flow rate, or water quality standards are not detailed in the available documentation. The project involves compliance with CEQA guidelines through the submission of a certified exemption finding and a checked Notice of Exemption, but no federal contract clauses, federal acquisition regulation provisions, or standard financial or administrative terms are included. There is no stated contract value, payment information, invoicing method, or accounting codes provided, nor are there any details regarding packaging, marking, delivery terms, or inspection criteria beyond the general expectation of adherence to state and local well construction practices. No special requirements such as key personnel mandates, options for future work, security clearances, or organizational conflict of interest provisions are present. Submission deadlines, proposal formats, page limits, and electronic submission methods are not specified, and no formal representations, certifications, or socioeconomic status declarations from the contractor have been provided. The solicitation, posted on August 4, 2025, functions primarily as an administrative notice of a state-regulated, environmentally exempt residential project rather than a federally governed procurement.
