12-0V820 RTE 22 Connector Ramp Signing and Striping

The project, identified as 12-0V820 RTE 22 Connector Ramp Signing and Striping, is a transportation enhancement initiative under Caltrans District 12 – Orange, focused on improving guide signage and pavement delineation along the Route 22 Connector Ramp in Santa Ana, California. Work is confined to the existing right-of-way and is categorized as exempt under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Class 1(c), with a certified Notice of Exemption filed to support administrative approval. Performance is slated for project milepoints R10.70 to R10.80, with acceptance occurring on-site by Caltrans District 12, and compliance is presumed to align with standard transportation practices including MUTCD and Caltrans design specifications, though no explicit technical standards are listed. The project is currently in a forecasted planning stage, with no formal solicitation number, contract value, pricing details, or line-item data provided, indicating that financial and procurement specifics are not yet finalized. Primary point of contact for the project is Smita Deshpande, Senior Environmental Scientist, who serves as the lead agency representative and has certified the CEQA exemption filing, though no official designation as Contracting Officer’s Representative or Procurement Contracting Officer is confirmed. Administrative procedures reference Caltrans District 12’s physical office in Santa Ana and the Office of Planning and Research’s mailing address in Sacramento, but no invoicing method, payment office details, accounting codes, or electronic submission systems are specified. No packaging, marking, inspection criteria, or special contractual requirements such as key personnel, options, or organizational conflict of interest clauses are outlined. The project is not classified with a set-aside, and no solicitations, proposal submission deadlines, or offeror certifications—including UEI, CAGE, or socioeconomic status—are documented, suggesting this is an internally managed, non-competitive project proceeding under categorical exemption procedures.
