Little Lake Road Sewer Line Replacement

The City of Mendocino is undertaking a sewer infrastructure project along Little Lake Road, spanning from Lansing Street to Highway 1, to replace approximately 950 linear feet of aging underground sewer main and install four new manholes within the public right-of-way. The goal is to enhance the reliability and functionality of the existing wastewater system without expanding its capacity, ensuring continued service for local residents and businesses. This effort is classified under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) exemptions—specifically Class 1 for maintenance of existing facilities and Class 2 for replacement of existing infrastructure—along with statutory exemption under Public Resources Code Section 21080.21, which applies to subsurface pipeline replacements under one mile in length within public rights-of-way. No federal acquisition regulations or contract clauses are applicable, as this is a municipal initiative with no federal funding or oversight. The project is currently in a forecast stage, with no finalized contract value, pricing details, or formal solicitation number released. A Notice of Exemption was signed on December 16, 2025, and posted on January 5, 2026, with the certified exemption document required as the sole submission attachment, delivered via mail to Sacramento. Ryan Rhoades, District Superintendent, serves as the primary point of contact, and all performance occurs at the designated project site in Mendocino County, California, with no FOB terms, payment specifics, invoicing instructions, or formal contracting officer details provided. The procurement process lacks traditional evaluation factors, award criteria, or socioeconomic stipulations, reflecting a streamlined municipal approach focused on environmental compliance and infrastructure upkeep.
