Port of Long Beach - Potholing, Geotechnical, & Environmental Investigation (Harbor Development Permit 24-036)

The Port of Long Beach has authorized a baseline project budget of $8,400,000 for the Gateway Entry and Monument Signage Project, with an initial spending authorization of $1,392,000 to complete the design, bid, and award phases. The project entails the installation of six free-standing monument signs, three wall-mounted signs, two flagpoles, and associated landscaping across the Harbor District of Long Beach, California. Work will involve connecting new signage to existing electrical systems and must comply with design specifications HD-S3031 and HA1479. Environmental compliance has been established under the California Environmental Quality Act through categorical exemptions classified as Class 1 (minor alterations to existing facilities) and Class 3 (construction of small structures), ensuring the project qualifies as having no significant environmental impact. The project is managed under Harbor Development Permit No. 24-036(1), with approval finalized on October 13, 2025, following a notice of exemption posted on September 17, 2025. Key oversight responsibilities lie with the Port of Long Beach, specifically the Environmental Planning Division, with Trang Nguyen, Senior Civil Engineer, serving as the primary applicant and point of contact for project execution. Additional points of contact include Amy Wong and Renee Moilanen, both with titles in Environmental Planning and authorized decision-making roles. No formal federal contract clauses, solicitation forms, or structured procurement terms—such as CLINs, evaluation factors, invoicing procedures, or delivery specifications—are documented; instead, the process is driven by state-level permitting and environmental compliance requirements. Delivery and performance are localized throughout the Port’s Harbor District, with no FOB terms or formal period of performance specified. Acceptance and inspection activities are the responsibility of the Port as the Lead Agency, with compliance measured against CEQA guidelines rather than federal quality standards. Although budgetary authority and environmental approvals are in place, detailed contract administration data, payment office instructions, accounting codes, or submission requirements for potential contractors remain undefined in the available documentation.
