Compliance with CEQA:  This action is not a project with the meaning of CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 and CEQA is inapplicable since it will not result in any direct or indirect physical change in the environment and does not involve an irrevocable commitment of resources by the County to the activity since this action involves the approval of on-call contracts which may lead to negotiation of an agreement.  CEQA is therefore inapplicable.  Any future action that constitutes a project will be reviewed for compliance with CEQA.
