Baseline Project Budget and Spending Authorization Harbor Scenic Drive Roadway and Infrastructure Improvements Specification HD-S3171, HA-1525

The Port of Long Beach has authorized a baseline project budget of $100,100,000 with a spending authorization of $4,040,000 to complete the design phase for the Harbor Scenic Drive Roadway and Infrastructure Improvements Project under Harbor Development Permit #24-066(1). This funding is specifically allocated for design activities including the installation of changeable message signs, highway lighting, and minor roadway modifications, with no construction work yet initiated. The project is classified under CEQA Class 3 categorical exemptions, indicating it involves minor alterations to existing facilities and small structures without significant environmental impact, eliminating the need for a full environmental impact report. Design work will be governed by specifications HD-S3171 and HA-1525, and all activities will occur at the project site in Long Beach, California. Official oversight rests with the Port of Long Beach, with key personnel including Mike Sarullo as Contract Project Manager and Tyler Hanks as Environmental Specialist Intern serving as primary contacts. No formal solicitation number, contract type, line-item pricing, or federal acquisition regulation clauses are present, as this transaction is an internal budget authorization under state environmental law and municipal project management rather than a competitive federal procurement. Financial accountability is tied to the agency code e5da876d, though no detailed accounting identifiers such as TAS, AAC, or ACRN are provided, nor are invoicing methods, inspection criteria, delivery terms, or contractor certifications specified. The notice of exemption was signed on September 8, 2025, with public posting occurring on September 17, 2025, signaling the official start of administrative and planning actions within the broader $100.1 million project lifecycle.
