Ione Band of Miwok Indians Water System Improvements

The State Water Resources Control Board is leading a project to install a new potable water distribution system serving 14 existing residences within the Ione Band of Miwok Indians’ rural community in Amador County, California, approximately three miles southwest of the town of Ione. The existing water infrastructure will remain operational solely for irrigation and fire protection purposes, while the new system will connect to the Jackson Valley Irrigation District to ensure a safe, reliable supply of drinking water. The project has been approved under the California Environmental Quality Act through a Mitigated Negative Declaration, with all required mitigation measures and a monitoring plan in place to ensure environmental compliance. The Ione Band of Miwok Indians is the implementing entity responsible for construction and execution, with oversight and approval authority resting with the State Water Resources Control Board’s Division of Financial Assistance. Payments related to this project, including required filing and water rights fees, are processed through the agency’s office in Sacramento, with checks, cash, or credit accepted as payment methods. The designated primary point of contact for the project is Abbygayle Guevara, Environmental Scientist with the State Water Resources Control Board, who can be reached via phone or email for administrative inquiries. While no federal acquisition regulation clauses, contract pricing details, or formal solicitation number are present, the project is supported by environmental documentation including a Notice of Determination, a CDFW No Effect Determination, and proof of prior fee payments. The place of performance is clearly defined as the tribal residential area in Ione, California, and acceptance of the completed system is under the authority of the State Water Resources Control Board at its Sacramento office. No formal contract type, period of performance, or delivery schedule is specified in the available records, and while the project involves tribal infrastructure, no socioeconomic certifications or federal contracting representations such as UEI or CAGE codes are documented. The entire effort is driven by state-level environmental compliance and funding mechanisms rather than federal procurement rules or standardized contract structures.
