02-2K220 Mad River Preservation

The project known as 02-2K220 Mad River Preservation is a pavement preservation initiative led by Caltrans District 2 in Redding, California, targeting a segment of SR 36 in Trinity County between post mile 0.0 and 14.2. The work involves applying an AR Chip Seal from edge-of-travelway to edge-of-travelway, treating road shoulders with a fog seal, and performing isolated digouts to address localized pavement defects. The primary goal is to extend the service life of the existing roadway and improve safety, ride quality, and driver comfort. The project has been determined to be exempt under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Class 1 as an action involving existing facilities, with a certified exemption document and notice of exemption filed as part of the administrative record. No contract value, pricing details, or financial terms are provided in the available documentation, nor are standard contract types such as firm-fixed-price or indefinite-delivery contracts specified—only a general “forecast” designation is noted. The period of performance, delivery schedule, FOB terms, invoicing procedures, payment office details, and accounting codes are not defined. The procurement process had a proposal submission deadline of July 7, 2025, with documents to be mailed to the Office of Planning and Research in Sacramento. Contact for the project is Mikayla Loucks, Environmental Scientist, with additional administrative oversight from David Hunt, Associate ENV Planner. While inspection and acceptance will occur on-site by Caltrans personnel, no specific technical construction standards, contractor certifications, corporate representations, or evaluation factors for award are detailed in the materials provided. The absence of standard FAR clauses, special requirements, or subcontracting clauses suggests this is a state-administered maintenance project following internal Caltrans procedures rather than a federally mandated procurement.
