KIRKWOOD WATER DISTRICT WATER SERVICE CONNECTION PROJECT

The Kirkwood Water District is installing a direct water service connection to provide an existing customer with access to surface water when available, as part of the broader Corning Groundwater Sustainability Plan implementation to achieve long-term groundwater sustainability in the Corning Subbasin. This project, administered by the Tehama County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, is located in the unincorporated area of Tehama County, California, with the performing agency based at 1509 Schwab Street, Red Bluff, CA 96080. The initiative supports compliance with DWR Bulletin 118 by reducing reliance on groundwater through the utilization of surface water supplies. Environmental compliance is established through CEQA categorical exemptions under Class 1 (existing facilities) and Class 4 (minor public actions), eliminating the need for an environmental impact report. A $50.00 county documentary handling fee was paid on September 18, 2025, to support administrative processing, and required environmental documentation including a Notice of Exemption and CDFW No Effect Determination have been filed. The project does not include formal federal contract clauses, pricing structures, evaluation criteria, or contract administration details typically found in federal procurements, as it is treated as a local public works effort under state environmental laws. No solicitation or contract number has been issued, no payment office or invoicing method beyond cash, check, or credit is specified, and no contracting officer, technical representative, or delivery schedule is outlined. The sole point of contact for the project is Justin Jenson, Director, reachable at (530) 690-0700.
