MUL Tl BENEFIT PROBERT A WATER DISTR1CT WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT PROJECT

The Proberta Water District, in coordination with the Tehama County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, is implementing water system improvements to optimize the use of Central Valley Project surface water rights, aiming to reduce reliance on groundwater and support long-term sustainability in the Red Bluff Subbasin under the Red Bluff Groundwater Sustainability Plan. The project entails construction-related modifications to existing water infrastructure—such as pipelines, pump stations, and storage facilities—to enhance the reliable delivery and operational flexibility of surface water during all water-year types, without altering the original capacity or purpose of the facilities. These enhancements are designed to achieve measurable reductions in groundwater extraction and align with state-mandated sustainability goals, qualifying for categorical exemptions under California Code of Regulations Title 14 Sections 15301 and 15304 due to their minimal environmental impact. The work is being executed at the Proberta Water District’s facilities in the Red Bluff Subbasin, Tehama County, with inspection and acceptance occurring on-site by the lead agency. There is no formal contract value, pricing structure, or line-item breakdown disclosed, as the available documentation reflects only environmental filing fees and administrative costs, not contract terms for supplies or services. The project is classified as a forecast with no solicitation number, award mechanism, or identified procurement type. The Tehama County Flood Control and Water Conservation District serves as the responsible agency, with Justin Jenson listed as the primary point of contact, though no Contracting Officer’s Representative, technical representative, or procurement contracting officer is formally designated. No federal acquisition regulation clauses, evaluation factors, payment methodologies, invoicing systems, or contractor representations such as UEI or CAGE codes are present, indicating this initiative operates under state and local environmental and water management frameworks rather than federal procurement requirements. All required attachments—including the Notice of Exemption and CDFW No Effect Determination—have been submitted to satisfy CEQA compliance, and payment of regulatory fees is handled directly with the county, with no indication of ongoing contract management or financial reporting obligations beyond these administrative actions.
