Well Permit #26-000049 (Replacement)

Monterey County is proceeding with the replacement of an existing domestic multiple connection well in Salinas, California, due to water quality issues at the current site identified under Destruction Permit #26-000048. The new well, authorized under Permit #26-000049, will serve the same number of connections without expanding capacity or altering the service area, qualifying the project for a Class 2 categorical exemption under Section 15302(c) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The project has received a certified exemption determination, and a Notice of Exemption was filed on August 11, 2025. No formal federal solicitation or contract documents are present; the procurement is classified as a forecast with no solicitation number, contract value, or pricing data provided. The work is expected to be performed by a contractor under the oversight of Monterey County’s Environmental Health Branch, with the primary point of contact being Roger Van Horn, Supervisor of EHB. The place of performance is confirmed as 22201 Indian Springs Rd, Salinas, CA 93908, and the California Water Service Company is listed as the applicant and project manager. There are no federal acquisition regulation (FAR) clauses, contract types, evaluation factors, payment details, or delivery schedules included in the documentation, reflecting that this is an administrative environmental permitting process rather than a competitive federal procurement. No specifications for packaging, marking, inspection criteria beyond CEQA compliance, invoicing methods, or contractor certifications such as UEI, CAGE, or socioeconomic status are provided. The only required submission is a certified document of exemption finding, with no specified page limits, proposal format, or submission deadline beyond the August 11, 2025, filing date. All project requirements are centered on regulatory compliance under state and county environmental laws, with no federal contract administration elements or financial terms identified. The oversight authority remains with Monterey County Environmental Health, and no contracting officer or government representative is formally designated beyond the lead agency contact.
