1U060 STA-33 Pavement and Shoulder Work

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), District 10 – Stockton, is initiating pavement and shoulder maintenance work on State Route 33 in Stanislaus County at two segments: postmiles 7.17/12.4 and 13.78/14.7. The project involves edge-to-edge Partial Depth Recycling of the existing pavement followed by a Rubberized Hot-Mix Asphalt-Gap Graded overlay to restore structural integrity and extend service life. Shoulder backing will be installed along the pavement edges to replenish lost material and eliminate hazardous drop-offs, all within Caltrans Right of Way. The primary objective is to address failing pavement conditions, prevent further deterioration, and enhance safety and longevity of the highway. The work is scoped to comply with Caltrans Standard Special Provisions, including SSP 7-1.02K(6)(j)(iii) for handling lead-containing earth materials and SSP 36-4 for the removal of existing pavement markings. Environmental compliance is confirmed under CEQA Class 1 (14 CCR 15301) and NEPA categorical exclusion (23 CFR 771.117), with a Notice of Exemption filed and environmental commitment documentation attached. Special provisions require immediate work cessation upon discovery of cultural resources or human remains, with mandatory notifications to the Engineer, County Coroner, and Native American Heritage Commission under applicable state laws. Project performance is to occur in Patterson, California, with inspection and acceptance conducted on-site by Caltrans, which retains final approval authority. Key personnel include Elizabeth Hummel as Senior Environmental Planner and Edujie I. Imoisili as Project Manager, both designated with signing authority for environmental compliance. No contract value, pricing details, or federal acquisition regulation clauses are provided; the solicitation is labeled as a forecast with no defined period of performance, payment instructions, or contractor registration identifiers included. All contractual obligations are governed by Caltrans-specific provisions rather than federal standards.
