Property Acquisition Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions (Agreement) with M. & B. Oil Company, Inc., (M&B) to Acquire Vacant Parcel (Property) Near A.K. War

The Los Angeles County Sanitation District, acting through Sanitation District No. 8, has authorized the acquisition of a vacant parcel adjacent to the A.K. Warren Water Resource Facility in Carson, California, from M. & B. Oil Company, Inc., for a purchase price of $2,500,000. The property, previously used for oil production, has been remediated in accordance with state and local requirements, including the plugging of the oil well and removal of all associated equipment and improvements. The acquisition is intended to expand the operational buffer zone for the Warren Facility and to support potential future infrastructure projects. A 60-day escrow period has been established to allow for comprehensive due diligence, including an environmental site assessment, to ensure the land meets regulatory standards prior to transfer of title. The transaction is governed by a Property Acquisition Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions, and is exempt from full environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) based on categorical and statutory exemptions for ministerial land acquisitions by public agencies that do not involve significant environmental impacts. The contract does not incorporate any Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, as it is a state-local land transaction not subject to federal procurement rules. No line-item pricing structure, delivery schedules, FOB terms, or option periods are included, and the sole deliverable is the transfer of real property. Payment details are administered through the Los Angeles County Regional Repository for CEQA filings, with invoicing occurring monthly using a customer code of 3060 and an agency code of 036605e8. Environmental Planner Patricia Horsley serves as the primary point of contact for the transaction, and all submissions related to the CEQA exemption must be delivered electronically as PDFs or scanned images via the designated email address. No representations, certifications, or socioeconomic status disclosures from the seller are included, as this is not a federal procurement and no federal compliance requirements apply.
