Lehigh Cement and Aluminum Plant demolition

The demolition of 40 buildings and structures at the former Lehigh Cement and Aluminum Plant, located at 24001 Stevens Creek Boulevard in Cupertino, California, is being administered by Santa Clara County under a ministerial permit process exempt from environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act. This action is classified under Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(1) and CEQA Guidelines Section 15268, eliminating the need for full environmental impact analysis and streamlining the permitting process. The project is forecasted as a non-competitive, permitting-based action with no solicitation number, contract value, or federal acquisition regulation clauses applicable. Primary oversight rests with Robert Salisbury, Principal Planner for Santa Clara County’s Department of Planning and Development, while Greg Ronczka of Heidelberg Materials is identified as the applicant and responsible party. A certified document of exemption finding is required as the sole formal attachment, confirming compliance with state regulatory thresholds. The place of performance is strictly limited to the designated site in Santa Clara County, with no technical specifications, packaging requirements, evaluation factors, payment details, or performance timelines outlined in the documentation. The government does not establish a formal contracting vehicle, nor does it specify invoicing methods, accounting codes, inspection criteria beyond regulatory exemption status, or socioeconomic eligibility requirements. The permit issuance is contingent upon the filing of the exemption notice and adherence to local ordinances, making this a regulatory clearance rather than a traditional procurement.
