Ordinance No. 787.11

Ordinance No. 787.11 amends the existing Ordinance No. 787 to adopt the 2025 California Fire Code and the 2025 California Wildland Urban-Interface Code as amended, ensuring full alignment with current state regulations. This administrative update replaces the prior code language in its entirety without introducing new construction, permitting, or physical deliverables, focusing instead on regulatory consistency and enforceability within the unincorporated areas of Riverside County, California. The ordinance incorporates state-prescribed fire safety standards and authorizes more restrictive local provisions where warranted by topographical, climatic, or geological conditions, reinforcing fire prevention and community resilience in high-risk zones. It also qualifies for a CEQA exemption under sections 15061(b)(3) and 15378, eliminating the need for further environmental review due to its purely regulatory and non-capital nature. The action is conducted by the Riverside County Fire Department, with Kylie Tillema, Assistant Fire Marshal, serving as the primary point of contact for administrative coordination. The ordinance was adopted on November 20, 2025, and officially posted on December 11, 2025, with submissions accepted at the Riverside County Fire Department’s physical address and P.O. box. No contract value, pricing, line items, or procurement mechanisms are associated with this action, as it does not involve contracting, services, or financial obligations under federal or state acquisition rules. There is no designated contracting officer, Contracting Officer’s Representative, or CAGE/UEI information because this is not a procurement contract but rather a local government regulatory amendment. No FAR clauses, evaluation factors, delivery schedules, FOB terms, or packaging requirements apply, as the activity consists solely of codifying updated fire safety standards into local law through an administrative ordinance process.
