03-3G780 YUB 70 RHMA-G

The California Department of Transportation, District 3, is undertaking a pavement maintenance project on State Route 70 in Yuba County, spanning from post mile R8.46 to R13.60, to prevent further deterioration and extend the service life of the existing roadway. The project involves cold planing the current asphalt concrete surface to a depth of 0.10 feet and overlaying it with Recycled Hot Mix Asphalt - Granular (RHMA-G) across the mainline and all four on/off ramps, along with localized digouts at specific areas near bridge joints and lane transitions, particularly between PM R10.137 and R10.183. All work is confined within Caltrans right-of-way and qualifies for a categorical exemption under both NEPA and CEQA due to its nature as routine maintenance of existing infrastructure, eliminating the need for extensive environmental review. The project is identified internally as 03-3G780 and is classified as a forecast with no solicitation number or contract value disclosed. The project is governed by Caltrans’ Standard Special Provisions, notably SSP 14-2.03A concerning archaeological resources, with specific conditions applied to the work zone. The place of performance is clearly defined in Marysville, California, and inspection and acceptance will occur on-site by Caltrans as the responsible government entity. Key personnel include Thaleena Bhattal as the lead environmental contact and Gary Dekens as the Project Manager who signed off on the environmental approvals. The environmental commitment record and certified exemption documentation are required contractual attachments, though formal contract clauses, accounting data, invoicing procedures, payment details, or contract type are not specified. There are no solicited bids, offeror representations, socioeconomic certifications, or option provisions included in the documentation, and no federal acquisition regulation clauses apply, as Caltrans operates under its own internal specifications. The project is anticipated to proceed following final internal approvals dated in August 2025, with submissions for environmental compliance directed to the Office of Planning and Research in Sacramento.
