Poplar 18 Project

The Poplar 18 Project involves an amendment to the Western Joshua Tree Conservation Act Incidental Take Permit to relocate the required offsite mitigation site from an initial landscaping area to the Phelan 60 site in Hesperia, California, owned by Cambria 60 Partners LLC. This change updates Measure 7.3 of the permit and requires revised documentation including a new Relocation Plan and updated map to reflect the new location. The amendment is submitted under the jurisdiction of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and overseen by the City of Hesperia as the lead agency under the California Environmental Quality Act. Compliance with CEQA, including the issuance of a Notice of Determination and findings under Public Resources Code sections, is required, along with payment of the environmental filing fee as mandated by the Fish and Game Code. The place of performance is clearly defined as the Phelan 60 site in Hesperia, with no other delivery or performance timelines specified. While regulatory approvals and environmental compliance are central to the amendment, there is no indication of a formal procurement contract, pricing, cost estimates, or standardized federal acquisition clauses. No contract value, payment instructions, invoicing methods, accounting codes, or contracting officer roles are detailed. The project’s administrative structure relies on regulatory coordination rather than a typical federal contract framework, and no representations, certifications, or socioeconomic statuses for the landowner are provided. The amendment’s success depends on environmental documentation fidelity, public record availability, and agency approvals rather than traditional contract performance metrics.
