Issuance of General Lease – Recreational and Protective Structure Use – A5263

The California State Lands Commission is authorizing a 10-year General Lease for Recreational and Protective Structure Use, effective February 1, 2026, through January 31, 2036, for existing infrastructure located along the Napa River adjacent to 1696 Milton Road in Napa, California. The lease permits continued use of a dock, three floats, unattached pilings, a retaining wall, and the associated levee area, with no new construction or expansion authorized. The project qualifies for a Class 1 Categorical Exemption under California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15301, based on the determination that the continued operation of these existing structures presents no significant environmental impact. The lease is administrative in nature and does not involve federal acquisition regulations, as it is governed solely by state law and procedures. No financial details, pricing, or cost estimates are provided, and the contract does not include clauses, specifications, or requirements typical of federal procurement, such as inspection criteria, payment terms, invoicing systems, or contracting officer representation. There are no stated evaluation factors, submission deadlines, proposal formats, or special requirements like security clearances, key personnel, or subcontracting provisions. The proponents, James Arthur Knudsen and Paulie K. Knudsen, are identified as the parties seeking authorization, and the primary point of contact is Christine Day, Senior Environmental Scientist with the California State Lands Commission. The lease issuance is intended to formalize lawful occupancy and maintenance of the existing facilities without triggering additional regulatory oversight or performance obligations beyond the scope of the approved use.
