03-4J550 Truckee Wash Rack Sewer Connection

The California Department of Transportation Caltrans District 3 proposes a maintenance project at the Truckee Maintenance Station in Nevada County to connect an existing wash rack to the municipal sewer system. The scope of work involves the installation of a trench drain to collect wash water, an electrical three-way diversion valve, and a sand-oil separator. The system is designed to route wash water through the separator to the sewer system during vehicle washing operations, while diverting stormwater to the storm drain when the rack is not in use. Additionally, a sampling port will be installed to allow maintenance staff to monitor the water quality of the discharge entering the sewer system. This project is currently categorized as a forecast and has undergone environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act CEQA. A Negative Declaration was prepared, certifying that the project will not have a significant environmental effect, and a Notice of Determination was approved on July 18, 2025. Administrative requirements include the payment of a 2,968.75 dollar environmental filing fee to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Tracy Robinson serves as the primary point of contact for the project. While the place of performance is confirmed as the Truckee Maintenance Station in Nevada County, specific contract values, delivery schedules, and formal procurement evaluation factors have not yet been established.
