Soapy Joe's Car Wash - Project 2025-0657

The City of La Mesa is proceeding with the construction of an express service car wash facility at 8703 Murray Drive in La Mesa, California, under Project 2025-0657, with Soapy Joe's LLC as the applicant and project sponsor. The project is located on a previously developed site and has been determined to be exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review under Section 15303, which applies to the construction of small structures, streamlining the approval process without requiring an environmental impact report. The primary deliverable is the completed facility, though detailed specifications, performance metrics, or technical standards for construction are not outlined in the available documentation. The project’s posted date is October 17, 2025, with a signature date of October 14, 2025, indicating advanced administrative completion prior to public posting. Contact for the project is Patrick Macpherson, Assistant Planner, and Carrie Gladden, Director of Development, both reachable through the city’s office in La Mesa. There is no assigned contract value, no established period of performance, no FOB terms or delivery schedule, and no invoicing or payment office details provided. No federal acquisition regulation (FAR) clauses, contractual performance incentives, inspection criteria, quality standards, or federal certifications such as UEI, CAGE, or small business designations are included, reflecting a purely local, non-federally funded initiative. No special contract requirements such as key personnel, options, security clearances, or organizational conflict provisions are identified, and no formal solicitation, evaluation factors, or award methodology are documented, suggesting the project was approved through an administrative exemption process rather than a competitive procurement. The site address and exemption certification are the only verifiable core components, with no additional attachments, packaging requirements, or technical specifications provided.
