03-3G770 - GLE 162 Chip Seal Project

The California Department of Transportation, District 3, is preparing to rehabilitate a segment of State Route 162 in Glenn County between postmile 78.35 and 84.59 through chip sealing, pavement repair, and pavement edge treatment to preserve the existing road structure and extend its service life. The project is classified as a forecast with solicitation number 03-3G770 and was posted on August 8, 2025, with the environmental exemption certified on August 7, 2025. It qualifies for a Class 1(c) categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act, affirming that no significant environmental impact is expected due to work on an existing facility. All work is to be performed at the specified location on SR 162, with Caltrans District 3 responsible for inspection and acceptance, and no formal contractor has been designated in the available records. The project lacks detailed cost estimates, contract type, pricing structure, or formal clause references typically found in federal procurement documents. No solicitation for bids or proposals has been initiated, and there is no publicly stated deadline, submission method, or evaluation criteria for potential offerors. The primary administrative contact is Alam Mangat, Environmental Coordinator, reachable through Caltrans District 3’s office in Marysville, California. The project’s documentation centers on environmental compliance and project description, with no inclusion of federal contract clauses, payment details, accounting codes, invoicing procedures, or socioeconomic certifications. Technical standards for materials or construction are not specified in the provided materials, suggesting that such details are likely contained in internal Caltrans specifications rather than public-facing documents.
