KIRKWOOD WATER DISTRICT WATER SERVICE CONNECTION PROJECT

The Kirkwood Water District is undertaking a water service connection project to provide an existing customer with access to surface water when available, as part of the broader Corning Groundwater Sustainability Plan aimed at achieving long-term groundwater sustainability in the Corning Subbasin. This initiative involves constructing a direct connection from the district’s existing water system to the customer’s premises, without expanding system capacity or creating new infrastructure, and is classified as ministerial under California’s CEQA guidelines, specifically exempt as a minor alteration to existing facilities under Class 4 (Section 15304) and maintenance of existing systems under Class 1 (Section 15301). The project is administered by the Tehama County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, with the work site located in the unincorporated area of Tehama County at coordinates 39.855965 latitude and -122.173566 longitude. The project has been granted exemption from environmental fees, and required documentation including a Notice of Exemption and a CDFW No Effect Determination must be submitted to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Office of Planning and Research. Payment for related administrative fees is accepted via cash, credit, or check, directed to the Tehama County agency, though no contract value, pricing structure, or formal invoicing system is specified. There is no formal federal contract structure or Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses applied to this action, as it is a state-local initiative managed under California environmental and administrative procedures rather than federal procurement rules. No FAR Part 52 clauses, contracting officer representatives, electronic invoicing systems, accounting codes (AAC, TAS, ACRN), or detailed evaluation factors for award are present. The agency contact is Justin Jenson, Deputy Director and Lead Agency Contact, reachable at 530-690-0700 with email jjenson@tcpw.ca.gov. The project notice is issued as a forecast with no solicitation number, and submission of documentation is required via physical mail to the Office of Planning and Research in Sacramento and the Tehama County Clerk-Recorder in Red Bluff. The entity acting as the lead agency, Tehama County Flood Control & Water Conservation District, is a public agency and thus exempt from commercial certifications such as UEI/CAGE codes, small business status, or socioeconomic classifications. No packaging, delivery, inspection, or performance standards beyond compliance with CEQA exemptions and submission of administrative paperwork are specified, and the project
