2nd Street Stormwater Project

The State Water Resources Control Board, through its Division of Financial Assistance, is funding the Mendota 2nd Street Stormwater Improvements Project in the City of Mendota, California, with a place of performance designated at 93640. The project involves the construction of approximately 2,300 linear feet of storm drain pipe, including a 900-foot segment and a separate 1,400-foot segment, alongside a 12-foot-wide bioretention swale for stormwater treatment. Additional work includes pedestrian improvements along 2nd Street such as crosswalks and curb ramps, retrofitting the Bass Avenue ditch with a ten-foot-wide maintenance path and berm installation, and implementing low-impact development features within the 0.6-acre Triangle Park. Green infrastructure enhancements, including tree planting throughout the project area, are integral components. The project qualifies for categorical exemptions under the California Code of Regulations Title 14, Sections 15301, 15303, and 15304, indicating that it involves minor alterations to existing infrastructure and small-scale construction without significant environmental impact. The City of Mendota is the implementing agency, with Maritza Arellano of the State Water Board serving as the primary point of contact for financing and oversight, and Michael Osborn, City Engineer, as the lead representative for the local jurisdiction. Although the project is documented as a forecast with no identified solicitation number or contract value, funding approval was granted on December 16, 2025, and the notice was posted on December 17, 2025. No formal FAR clauses, contract administration roles such as COR or PCO, payment or invoicing systems, evaluation factors, or detailed inspection criteria are specified in the available documentation, suggesting that this is a pre-award planning phase with final contractual terms yet to be defined.
