10-1V140-Electrical Upgrades

The California Department of Transportation Caltrans District 10 in Stockton is forecasting a project titled 10-1V140-Electrical Upgrades to maintain and modernize traffic management system elements on Route 99 in Stanislaus County. The scope of work involves replacing the primary electrical components, specifically the controllers and cabinets, at six signal locations between post mile R15.67 and R16.80 in Modesto. All construction activities will be performed within the existing State Right of Way. The primary objective is to ensure that outdated or poor condition equipment is upgraded to maintain the required performance levels for relaying real-time communication to Caltrans and the traveling public. Notably, the signal heads are excluded from replacement as they are already programmed. The project is classified under NAICS code 237310 and has been granted a Notice of Exemption under CEQA Categorical Exemption section 15301 for Existing Facilities and a NEPA Categorical Exclusion, as no significant environmental or cultural impacts are anticipated. Special contract requirements include strict adherence to State Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 and Public Resources Code Section 5097.98 regarding the discovery and handling of human remains. Ishnav Guleria serves as the primary point of contact for the agency. While the project is forecasted for July 2026, specific contract values, delivery schedules, and award factors are not yet defined.
