Project Name: Approval of First Amendment to Consultant Agreement with Deol Data Corporation, a Delaware Corporation, at Fresno Yosemite International Airport.
Project Number:
Project Location: 5175 East Clinton Way, Fresno, CA 93727, Fresno Yosemite International Airport’s Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN):
Description of Project: On March 11, 2024, Deol Data Corporation (Deol), a Delaware Corporation, was awarded a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Security System planning and design services by Fresno City Council. That Agreement was in the amount of $834,000 with a termination date of December 31, 2028. The purpose of the RFQ was to find qualified firms to assist in the planning and design of the new security system at FAT as part of the Terminal Expansion Project. Out of nine firms, Deol Data was picked as the most qualified and was awarded the agreement. This First Amendment is to provide additional funding for the commissioning and activation of the new system. This First Amendment with Deol Data is identified as the proposed project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This Amendment would result in the continued use of an existing airport terminal facility. This project is for the addition of security cameras and facility security of doors as required by 49 CFR Part 1542 (Airport Security) and would not result in the alteration of the existing building’s footprint or result in a significant increase in capacity of use. No additional direct or indirect physical environmental impacts are anticipated.
Name of Public Agency Approving Project: City of Fresno, Airports Department
Name of Person or Agency Carrying Out Project: City of Fresno, Airports Department, Properties Division
Exempt Status: State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, Class 1, Existing Facilities Exemption.
Reasons Why Project is Exempt: The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA specifically by the State CEQA Guidelines as identified below. The project will not result in any specific or general exceptions to the use of the categorical exemption as detailed under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2. The project will not cause an impact to an environmental resource
FOR COUNTY CLERK USE ONLY
of hazardous or critical concern, nor would the project involve unusual circumstances that could potentially have a significant effect on the environment. The project would not result in impacts to scenic highways, hazardous waste sites, historic resources, or other sensitive natural environments, or have a cumulative effect to the environment. No significant environmental impacts are anticipated to occur with the Lease, permitting continued use of an existing building.
x Section 15301 – Class 1 Existing Facilities Exemption: This categorical exemption includes the operation, repair, maintenance, leasing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures or facilities, provided the exemption only involves negligible or no expansion of the previous site’s use. The project, as proposed, is limited to an Amendment of the Consulting Services Agreement with Deol Data for the commissioning and activation of the new security system located inside the FAT’s terminal facility and surrounding facility to update the new security system. The use of the facility by Deol would be consistent with the current consultant agreement and would not require any expansion of public services and facilities; therefore, the project is exempt as the project meets the scope and intent of the Class 1 Exemption identified in Section 15301, Article 19, Categorical Exemptions of the CEQA Guidelines.
Therefore, the City of Fresno, Airports Department hereby concludes that no physical environmental impacts are anticipated to occur and the project as proposed is exempt under CEQA. No further environmental analysis is warranted.
