02-2J830 Lassen County ITS

The California Department of Transportation, District 2 – Redding, is advancing a state-funded project under contract code 02-2J830 to upgrade or replace seventeen Transportation Management System (TMS) elements along State Routes 36, 70, 139, and 395 in Lassen County. Work includes upgrading five CCTV systems, one Community Message Sign, seven Emergency Management Systems, two Highway Advisory Radio units, and two Road Weather Information Systems, alongside installing approximately 3,025 linear feet of fiber optic cable, constructing four maintenance vehicle pullouts, adding 675 linear feet of Midwest Guardrail System, and installing a new Type 30 Light Standard. Ancillary tasks involve trenching, replacing walkways and signs, and connecting conduits. All work must comply with current Caltrans District 2 TMS standards to ensure system interoperability, reliability, and alignment with the Traffic Management Center. The project is administratively centered in Susanville, with performance distributed across specific post miles on the designated state routes. Environmental compliance is established through CEQA Class 1f and NEPA 23 CFR 771.117 categorical exclusions, with coordination required with the Susanville Indian Rancheria due to potential cultural resource concerns. No formal contract type, pricing data, or award methodology is specified in the available documentation, which appears to function as a project forecast or environmental planning document rather than a fully executed contract. The contracting office has not provided line-item costs, payment instructions, accounting codes, or invoicing procedures, and there are no references to FAR clauses, packaging standards, marking requirements, or MIL-STD specifications. Key personnel responsibilities are identified: Julie McFall as Senior Environmental Scientist and Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative, and Mohammad Rahmani as Project Manager, both signed off on environmental determinations. While the procurement is state-funded and administered under Caltrans authority, no solicitation number, offeror representations, size status certifications, or submission deadlines are included. The project relies on internal Caltrans processes and environmental approvals, with performance inspection and acceptance conducted at the work sites by Caltrans. No contract options, security requirements, organizational conflict provisions, or special clauses beyond environmental compliance and operational coordination are documented.
