Johnson Cosumnes Williamson Act Amendment

The application seeks to amend an existing Williamson Act Contract (73-AP-030) to establish a permanent Open Space Easement on a 214-acre parcel located at 8700 Twin Cities Road in Galt, California, converting the land into a mitigation bank dedicated to the restoration and enhancement of aquatic and terrestrial habitats along the Cosumnes River and Laguna Creek. This amendment allows open space use as a compatible activity under the Williamson Act, permanently restricting the site from any commercial, residential, or industrial development while permitting conservation-oriented activities such as wildlife preservation and ecological restoration. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt from environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15304 and 15317, confirming that the proposed grading is minimal, non-disruptive, and poses no significant impact on wetlands, waterways, scenic resources, geologic hazards, or cultural resources. The amendment will be administered by Sacramento County, with the County serving as the approving agency and Allegra Bukojemsky of Westervelt Ecological Services acting as the applicant and implementing entity. There are no federal procurement elements present in this action; it is a state-level land use agreement governed by California’s Williamson Act and CEQA, not the Federal Acquisition Regulation. No federal contract clauses, pricing data, delivery schedules, payment terms, audit requirements, or acquisition certifications are included or applicable. No contract value, funding source, or financial instrument is specified, nor are there any procurement-specific identifiers such as UEI, CAGE codes, CLINs, or solicitation numbers. The contracting officer’s representative, technical representative, or procurements officer are not formally designated, and no evaluation factors, inspection criteria, or performance standards beyond the legal binding nature of the easement are outlined. The primary deliverable is the recorded Open Space Easement, which ensures perpetual conservation use, supported by administrative acceptance by Sacramento County. All activities occur on-site at the Galt location, with no logistics, packaging, marking, or shipping requirements, and no option periods, personnel clauses, or security provisions are associated with the agreement.
