United States District Court (USDC) Perimeter Retaining Wall Waterproofing Project, Riverside

The United States District Court (USDC) Perimeter Retaining Wall Waterproofing Project, identified by project number FM08720014653, is a Riverside County initiative located at 3470 12th Street, Riverside, California. The project is designed to mitigate erosion and water intrusion issues affecting approximately 620 linear feet of the retaining wall situated adjacent to Lemon Street. The primary scope of work includes addressing erosion across 11,300 square feet of plant beds, waterproofing the existing retaining planter wall using sustainable materials, and replacing current vegetation with drought-tolerant plants to minimize water consumption and maintenance requirements. Minor landscaping improvements will also be implemented to protect the wall and the adjacent building from further environmental damage. Managed by Riverside County Facilities Management, the project has been determined to be categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Sections 15301 and 15061(b)(3). This exemption is based on the fact that the work involves minor alterations that will not result in a significant expansion of existing facility use or cause significant direct or indirect physical environmental impacts. While the specific contract value and period of performance are not disclosed, the project is overseen by Mike Sullivan, the Senior Environmental Planner and Facilities Operations Manager. The work is classified under NAICS code 238140 and is intended to ensure the continued stability of the court's perimeter without disrupting public services.
