Van Buskirk Park Revitalization Project

The Van Buskirk Park Revitalization Project is a 30-acre expansion of the existing park in Stockton, California, increasing its total size to 192.71 acres, with funding assistance from the National Park Service’s Land and Water Conservation Fund and administered by the California Department of Parks and Recreation. The project includes a wide array of recreational and environmental enhancements such as a community garden, nature-based splash pad, skate park, BMX track, bike and walking trails, multipurpose lawn, two new basketball courts, renovated existing courts, an 18-hole disc golf course, pickleball courts, a dog park, playground, outdoor pavilion, restrooms, lighting, fencing, and comprehensive landscaping. All components are designed to meet ADA accessibility standards and integrate environmental mitigation measures, with the project complying fully with the California Environmental Quality Act through a filed Negative Declaration. The City of Stockton serves as the lead agency, with the California Department of Parks and Recreation acting as the responsible agency under CEQA, and public access to project documentation is required via the city’s official website. Environmental compliance activities include filing a Notice of Determination with state authorities, paying or exempting environmental fees through a No Effect Determination from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and submitting monthly reports with cash receipts and documentation for a minimum of 12 months. The project does not involve a formal federal contract or the application of Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, and there is no specified contract value, pricing structure, or line-item breakdown in the available records. No procurement solicitation number is provided, and the classification as a forecast indicates a planning-stage posting rather than an active award. The project’s delivery and performance location is confirmed as 734 Houston Avenue, Stockton, California, with no FOB terms, delivery schedule, or packaging specifications outlined. Key points of contact include Liszet Burgueno of the City of Stockton Public Works and Kristen Way of State Parks, who coordinate oversight and environmental compliance. Financial transactions related to environmental filings are directed to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife Accounting Services Branch, and the project adheres strictly to state and local public works standards without inclusion of federal procurement mechanisms, socioeconomic set-asides, or contract administration data such as AAC, TAS, or WAWF. The entire initiative is grounded in CEQA compliance, local public agency authority, and environmental stewardship, with no federal contracting elements present.
