LAFCo 25-10 Ojai Valley Sanitary District Annexation – 10522, 10542, and 10562 Creek Road

The project involves the annexation of approximately 2.5 acres of land in unincorporated Ventura County, California, to the Ojai Valley Sanitary District to facilitate the replacement of existing septic systems with centralized sewer service and enable future development on properties located at APNs 034-0-012-175, 034-0-012-185, and the western portion of 034-0-012-195. The action is administered by the Ventura Local Agency Formation Commission as the lead agency under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15319, which categorically exempts such annexations when they involve expansion of utility services to existing facilities. No formal solicitation, contract number, or procurement process is involved; instead, the process is administrative and regulatory, requiring only compliance with CEQA exemption criteria. Financial obligations are limited to fee payments for environmental review, including a $4,123.50 charge for EIR preparation and a $50 county handling fee, with acceptable payment methods including cash, check, or credit. Supporting documentation such as a Notice of Exemption and evidence of a California Department of Fish and Wildlife No Effect Determination must be submitted as part of the exemption filing. The project is managed through direct coordination with the Ojai Valley Sanitary District and the Ventura LAFCo office, with primary contacts designated for administrative and operational inquiries. No federal acquisition regulations apply, no contractor is identified, no technical specifications or performance metrics are required, and no formal evaluation criteria, award basis, or contracting officer roles are established. The process hinges entirely on regulatory approval rather than competitive procurement, with acceptance contingent on adherence to exemption requirements and submission of mandatory environmental documentation.
