Issuance of General Lease – Recreational Use – Lease 6832

The California State Lands Commission has authorized the issuance of a 10-year General Lease for Recreational Use, effective August 21, 2025, to Hites Tahoe LLC for the continued operation of an existing mooring buoy located in Lake Tahoe adjacent to 8857 Rubicon Drive in El Dorado County. This administrative action does not involve new construction or environmental modification and is governed by a categorical exemption under California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15301, which deems the activity a minor alteration to an existing facility with no significant environmental impact. The lease term runs through August 20, 2035, and no contract value, pricing, or cost details have been disclosed. The lease is issued without federal acquisition regulation clauses, as it is a state-level administrative determination rather than a federal procurement. The sole point of contact for the lease is Christopher Hall, Environmental Scientist at the Commission, while Hites Tahoe LLC is identified as the lessee and project applicant. No payment, invoicing, or contracting officer details are provided, and the process did not include solicitation, evaluation factors, or formal offeror representations and certifications typically associated with competitive procurements. The lease issuance is consistent with the Commission’s role in managing state sovereign lands for public recreational use, and no additional special requirements, options, or performance metrics are stipulated beyond the authorization to use the pre-existing mooring buoy for the full ten-year term.
