Outdoor Education Site Improvement and Landscape Project at Durham Ferry

The Outdoor Education Site Improvement and Landscape Project at Durham Ferry in Manteca, California, entails the transformation of existing landscaping into a water-efficient, native plant environment, accompanied by minor earthwork and the installation of an ADA-compliant trail to enhance access for students with disabilities. The work includes replacing conventional vegetation with drought-tolerant native trees and shrubs, grading land to ensure slopes of less than 10 percent, backfilling previously excavated areas with geologically compatible materials, and implementing a drip irrigation system to support sustainable plant growth. The project has been determined to qualify for categorical exemptions under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as a minor alteration to existing facilities, involving small accessory structures and landscaping with no significant environmental impact, and no hazardous materials are involved. The site, located at 29442 Airport Way, Manteca, CA 95337, serves as both the place of performance and the location for inspection and acceptance, with no formal delivery or shipping terms such as FOB specified. The project is administered by the San Joaquin County Office of Education, with the California Conservation Corps identified as a supporting agency, and Warren Sun, Division Director of Operations and Support, serves as the primary point of contact for coordination and oversight, though no formal contracting officer, COR, COTR, or PCO roles are designated. No federal contract clauses under the FAR are present, and the documentation reflects a state-level, non-federal procurement with no solicitation number, contract value, pricing elements, or formal evaluation criteria outlined. There are no specified periods of performance, submission deadlines, proposal formats, or electronic submission portals, and all documentation suggests a simplified, non-competitive administrative process centered on environmental compliance rather than competitive bidding. Attachments include a certified exemption finding and a Notice of Exemption, submitted physically to the San Joaquin County Clerk’s office, with no evidence of required certifications, representations from offerors, socioeconomic status claims, UEI or CAGE codes, or any form of federal procurement infrastructure.
