San Lorenzo Culvert Easement

The California Department of Parks and Recreation is granting a permanent easement to the City of Santa Cruz for access to maintain and operate a culvert at San Lorenzo Point within Twin Lakes State Beach. This action, classified under a categorical exemption per California Code of Regulations Sections 15305 and 15300.4, is administrative in nature and does not constitute a traditional procurement or competitive solicitation. There is no contract value, pricing data, or line-item costs identified, reflecting the non-commercial, land-use adjustment character of the transaction. The easement enables ongoing infrastructure maintenance without requiring construction or redevelopment, and no formal deliverables, inspection protocols, or acceptance criteria are specified beyond the issuance of the easement itself. The place of performance is Santa Cruz, California, 95062, and the activity is managed by the Santa Cruz District of the Department of Parks and Recreation. The project was posted on July 31, 2025, with Linda Hitchcock, Senior Park and Recreation Specialist, listed as the primary point of contact. No Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses apply, as this is a state-level land use action exempt from federal contracting procedures, and there are no solicitation numbers, contract types, or award evaluation factors. No representations, certifications, or contractor requirements are included, and the transaction is not subject to invoicing, payment office details, or accounting codes. The action is finalized through administrative approval under state environmental exemptions rather than through a competitive or contractual procurement process.
