Issuance of General Lease – Recreational Use – Lease 5447

The California State Lands Commission is authorizing a 10-year General Lease for Recreational Use, effective March 1, 2026, and continuing through February 28, 2036, for the continued use of an existing pier and three mooring buoys located on sovereign land in Lake Tahoe, adjacent to 4525 West Lake Boulevard in Homewood, Placer County. The lease is issued to Spencer Bunting, Trustee of the Bunting Tahoe Trust, as a non-competitive administrative action under California’s Categorical Exemption CLASS 1, which applies to projects involving existing facilities with no anticipated environmental impact, thereby eliminating the need for environmental review or public bidding. The lease does not authorize any new construction, modification, or physical alteration to the infrastructure, and there are no option periods or extension provisions beyond the fixed 10-year term. No contract value, pricing details, payment terms, invoicing methods, or accounting data are specified in the documentation, as the arrangement is an authorization of use rather than a procurement with financial obligations. The agency identifies Sarah Mongano as the primary point of contact, a Senior Environmental Scientist, but does not designate a Contracting Officer’s Representative, Procurement Contracting Officer, or any technical oversight personnel. No federal acquisition regulation clauses, representations, certifications, or socioeconomic requirements are applicable, as this is a state-level land lease under California regulations and not a federal procurement. There are no specified inspection criteria, quality standards, packaging requirements, or delivery schedules, as the lease permits only passive recreational use of pre-existing structures with no performance deliverables beyond the continued lawful access and operation of the pier and buoys.
