Utility & Infrastructure Readiness Assessment

The contract titled Utility & Infrastructure Readiness Assessment requires a thorough evaluation of existing electrical, water, and sewer systems to determine their capacity and compliance with regulatory standards necessary to support cannabis retail and distribution operations in Petaluma, California, specifically in the 94954 zip code area. The assessment must verify that current utility infrastructure can safely and legally accommodate the increased demands associated with cannabis-related activities, including lighting, HVAC, irrigation, waste disposal, and other operational requirements. This work is classified under NAICS code 541340, indicating it involves architectural, engineering, and related services, and is structured as a subcontract under the California Department of Cannabis Control. The project is posted with a scheduled date of July 2, 2026, and is focused on ensuring that municipal utilities meet current codes and can handle the unique load profiles and safety considerations of cannabis businesses without requiring significant upgrades or facing regulatory noncompliance. The evaluation will likely include site inspections, data analysis of utility usage patterns, coordination with local providers, and a detailed report outlining findings, potential deficiencies, and recommendations for mitigation or enhancement. The scope does not include construction or physical modifications but remains critical to the permitting and operational readiness of cannabis facilities in the designated location.
