Issuance of General Lease – Recreational Use

The California State Lands Commission has authorized the issuance of a 10-year General Lease for Recreational Use, effective August 21, 2025, granting exclusive rights to construct and operate a joint-use pier, associated appurtenant facilities, and two boat lifts on sovereign land in Lake Tahoe near Carnelian Bay in Placer County, California. The lease term concludes on August 21, 2035, with no provision for renewal or extension specified. The project is classified as a minor physical change qualifying for a Class 3 Categorical Exemption under California Code of Regulations Title 2, Section 2905(c)(2), which affirms no significant environmental impact and eliminates the need for full environmental review. The authorized parties include Stephen G. Blume, Jennifer Leavengood, Maquina De Vapor, LLC, Randy G. Burdick, Linda T. Burdick, and the Trustees of the Linda and Randy Burdick Trust, who are responsible for development and operation. The lease is not structured as a standard federal contract, and no federal acquisition regulation clauses, standardized contract provisions, or federal procurement clauses are applicable or included. The project is governed by state land management authorities under state environmental guidelines rather than federal acquisition frameworks, and no federal accounting, payment, invoicing, or administrative data such as TAS, AAC, or PCO roles are provided. Submission of proposals was required by the effective date via physical mail to the California State Lands Commission in Sacramento, with no electronic portal designated. No detailed evaluation factors, inspection criteria, quality standards, or acceptance protocols were outlined in the documentation beyond the categorical exemption. No representations, certifications, or socioeconomic status disclosures from the offerors were included, and the lease operates outside federal contracting requirements like UEI, CAGE codes, or OCI provisions. The place of performance is strictly limited to the specified Lake Tahoe shoreline location, with no delivery or shipping terms applicable as no goods are being procured—only land use rights are being granted.
