Permit ACO25-0095

The project involves the replanting of 74 acres of vineyard in Calistoga, California, under Permit ACO25-0095, administered by the Sonoma County Department of Agriculture/Weights & Measures. The activity is classified as ministerial under Sonoma County Code Chapter 36 and qualifies for exemption from environmental review under California Public Resources Code Sections 21080(b)(1) and 15268, meaning approval is contingent solely on compliance with established, non-discretionary standards rather than subjective evaluation. The work must adhere strictly to the Best Management Practices and Technical Report Guidelines for New Vineyard and Orchard Development, Vineyard Replanting, and Agricultural Grading and Drainage (VESCO), with no alterations sought to the existing ministerial requirements. Inspection and acceptance occur at the project site located at 15225 and 14805 Hwy 128, with oversight conducted by the Sonoma County Agricultural Commissioner to verify compliance with Chapter 36 and VESCO mandates. There is no competitive bidding process, procurement value, or financial terms disclosed, as the action is regulatory in nature and does not involve a traditional contract award. The applicant, Treasury Wine Estates, submitted a certified exemption finding and a Notice of Exemption as required documentation, without providing a Unique Entity ID, CAGE code, size status, or socioeconomic certifications typically associated with federal procurement. No federal acquisition regulation clauses, payment instructions, invoicing systems, accounting codes, or delivery terms are applicable or present, as the process falls entirely under state and county-level administrative and environmental permitting rules. Point of contact for the project includes Andy Casarez as the Agriculture and Vineyard Conservation Coordinator, James Burgess as the Site Manager, and Matt Bueno as the Project Engineer, but no formal contracting officer, COR, or COTR roles are designated. Performance timing is not specified beyond the notice period posted from September 30 to October 31, 2025, and no deadlines, page limits, or submission formats are outlined, indicating a streamlined, compliance-driven regulatory process rather than a structured procurement.
