Albion River Bridge Project

The Albion River Bridge Project involves the replacement of Bridge No. 10-0136 on State Route 1 in the community of Albion, Mendocino County, California, with a new structure designed to meet modern transportation needs. Led by Caltrans District 1 in Eureka, the project is governed under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which determined that environmental impacts would be less than significant, leading to the adoption of a Negative Declaration with approved mitigation measures and a monitoring plan. The project’s environmental compliance documentation has been filed with state agencies including the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Office of Planning and Research, with associated fees paid in compliance with CEQA requirements. The site of construction is clearly defined between post miles 43.3 and 44.2 on State Route 1, and formal acceptance will be managed by Caltrans District 1 in Eureka. While the project is classified under NAICS code 237310 for highway, street, and bridge construction, no contract value, pricing structure, line items, or financial terms have been disclosed, nor are there any specified contract types such as FFP or IDIQ. The solicitation number associated with the project is 2015042016, with environmental approvals finalized in October 2025, but no formal period of performance, delivery schedule, or invoicing methods have been established. Key point of contact for environmental matters is Rachelle Estrada, Senior Environmental Scientist, with additional administrative oversight handled by Cherry Zamora. All required environmental attestations have been submitted, including certified copies of fee payments, No Effect Determinations, and the Negative Declaration, but there is no indication of federal contract clauses, FAR provisions, procurement evaluation factors, COR/COTR assignments, or packaging and marking specifications. The process has adhered strictly to state-level environmental review procedures rather than federal acquisition standards, and no socioeconomic or small business set-asides have been indicated. The replacement bridge remains the sole deliverable, with no further technical specifications, material standards, or inspection criteria beyond CEQA compliance outlined in the available documentation.
