Morris Elementary Irrigation Well

The project involves the replacement of an irrigation well at Morris Elementary School located at 2475 McKinleyville Ave in McKinleyville, California, within Humboldt County. This is a small-scale public works initiative classified as a categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15303, which applies to new construction or conversion of small structures with minimal environmental impact. The work is being carried out by Rich Well Drilling and Pump Service Inc., and the project does not require a full environmental review due to its minor scope and compliance with state environmental guidelines. The contract is posted as a forecast with no solicitation number, estimated value, pricing, or formal contract type specified, indicating it is a state-level administrative approval rather than a competitively bid federal procurement. No Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses, contracting officer details, evaluation factors, payment terms, packaging requirements, or socioeconomic certifications apply, as the documentation pertains solely to CEQA compliance. The primary deliverable is the installation of a replacement well, with inspection and acceptance handled by Humboldt County’s Division of Environmental Health at the project site. Administrative tracking is maintained through the Assessor Parcel Number 510-161-002 and Record ID EH-WWELLA-25-000043. The Notice of Exemption was signed on November 18, 2025, and posted on November 19, 2025, with the primary point of contact being Andrew Whitney, Associate Planner, reachable via phone or email for project inquiries. No formal period of performance, delivery schedule, FOB terms, invoicing instructions, or technical specifications beyond environmental compliance are included in the documentation.
