Riverdale High School Facility Improvements

The Riverdale Joint Unified School District is procuring environmental services to support the Riverdale High School Facility Improvements project, with the primary objective of preparing a Draft Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The project is located in Selma, California, specifically at 3086 W. Mount Whitney Ave, and encompasses construction activities including demolition, building development, paving, and coating applications scheduled between June 2026 and April 2028. The work involves comprehensive environmental assessment, including hazardous material sampling, air emissions inventory, and analysis of potential impacts from mobile, stationary, and area sources, all aligned with EPA methods such as 524.2, 8260, 200.8, 533, 537.1, and 547. Sampling protocols require strict adherence to chemical preservation standards with color-coded labeling systems for VOCs, metals, PFAS, pesticides, and TCOC, and chain-of-custody documentation to ensure sample integrity, though no barcoding or military standards are specified. Environmental compliance is governed by ASTM E1527-21, 40 CFR Part 312, and DTSC Environmental Screening Levels, with oversight responsibilities shared between the district, the Department of Toxic Substances Control, and Fresno County. The contracted environmental consultants — Blair, Church & Flynn Consulting Engineers and Applied Earthworks — are tasked with preparing technical documentation, emissions modeling, control strategies, and mitigation plans to demonstrate compliance and reduce project impacts. While the project’s scope and technical requirements are well defined, contractual details such as pricing, contract type, payment structure, delivery schedule, evaluation criteria for award, or formal contracting officer representation are not present in the disclosed information. The solicitation is classified as a forecast with no official solicitation number or estimated contract value provided, and no submission deadlines, proposal formats, or required certifications from offerors have been outlined. The primary point of contact for the project is Superintendent Jeff Percell, with environmental specialist Michael Gennaro serving as technical liaison, and all communications and submissions are expected to align with state-level CEQA processes rather than federal acquisition regulations.
