Line Extension Contract (Agreement) with Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) to Install Natural Gas Service Line to District's Property Near Valencia WRP

In April 2025, the Los Angeles County Sanitation District acquired 5.6 acres of vacant land along the east side of The Old Road, just north of the Valencia Water Reclamation Plant, from Newhall Land and Farming Company to support future operational facilities. To avoid disruption from an upcoming major road reconstruction project by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works, the District is proactively installing utility service lines on the property before roadwork begins. Under this agreement, Southern California Gas Company will install a 135-foot, two-inch diameter natural gas service line from its existing mainline in The Old Road to a capped stub on the District’s property. The work is classified under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 and 15304, which exempt the project from environmental review due to its minor nature and lack of significant environmental impact. The agreement is structured as a local utility service installation with no federal contractual clauses or standard federal acquisition regulations applying. There is no disclosed contract value, as no pricing or funding details are provided beyond administrative fees, and the service is being performed proactively without direct cost to the District, which is exempt from standard connection fees. The project has been administratively processed with the submission of a Notice of Exemption and a County documentary handling fee, and all documentation is submitted electronically via email to the County’s CEQA filing portal. The Los Angeles County Sanitation District’s Planning Section, represented by Project Engineer Marvin Holmes and Environmental Planner Patricia Horsley, oversees the work, while billing and payment coordination is handled through Brianna Mendez using monthly invoicing via email. No formal evaluation factors, award criteria, or detailed inspection standards are included in the agreement, reflecting the ministerial nature of the utility extension. The installation site is clearly defined as the District’s property adjacent to the Valencia WRP, with no FOB terms, delivery schedule, or contract option periods specified. The agreement does not require UEI, CAGE codes, or small business certifications, as it is a direct action between a local public agency and a regulated utility provider under state-specific environmental and administrative procedures.
