North Pine Pocket Park

The City of Nevada City is advancing a project to transform an underutilized side yard at 211 North Pine Street into a small public park, known as the North Pine Pocket Park, adjacent to the Doris Foley Historical Library. The initiative focuses on enhancing community access through minor site improvements including landscaping, installation of seating, and small recreational play features, with no parking or off-site infrastructure involved. The project is designed to serve local residents and downtown visitors seeking passive outdoor space, and all work will comply with categorical exemptions under the California Environmental Quality Act, specifically Sections 15303 and 15304, which confirm the project involves only minor land alterations and small structures with no significant environmental impact. No trees will be removed, and no grading beyond minor site level adjustments is planned. The project was officially posted on July 29, 2025, and is categorized as a forecast with no solicitation number, estimated contract value, or formal procurement process identified. No federal acquisition regulations (FAR) clauses, evaluation criteria, contract types, pricing data, or payment or invoicing instructions are applicable, as this is a municipal initiative governed by state environmental review procedures rather than federal contracting mechanisms. Administrative oversight is handled by the City of Nevada City, with Lisa McCandless, City Planner, serving as the primary point of contact. Documentation includes a certified exemption finding and a Notice of Exemption, both filed to satisfy CEQA requirements. The place of performance is strictly limited to the designated site at 211 North Pine Street, Nevada City, CA 95959, and while inspection and acceptance are implied to occur on-site, formal procedures, quality standards, or contracting officer designations are not detailed in the available records.
