BUT 162 Roadway Damage (EA 03-2N090)

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), District 3 – Marysville/Sacramento, is advancing a roadway repair project on State Route 162 in Butte County, specifically between post mile 15.80 and 17.30, under the project identifier EA 03-2N090 and EFIS number 0325000240. The scope includes mobilization, cold planing and repaving of asphalt pavement, pavement striping, traffic control, and incidental work entirely within the existing right-of-way, with no land acquisition or additional regulatory permits required. The project has been formally exempted from full environmental review under CEQA Class 1(d) and NEPA categorical exclusion provisions, confirming it qualifies as a routine maintenance activity involving the operation and repair of an existing public facility, in compliance with 23 CFR 771.117 and 23 USC 326 and 327. The project is currently in a forecast status with no solicitation number or formal competitive procurement process initiated, indicating it is in the planning or pre-award phase and not yet soliciting contractor bids. There is no publicly available estimated contract value, pricing structure, or formal contract type specified, and no federal acquisition regulation (FAR) clauses, evaluation factors, or award methodology have been established at this stage. Inspection and acceptance will occur on-site by Caltrans personnel, with key project oversight provided by Anthony Thurman as Project Manager and Lisa Machado as Senior Environmental Planner, both of whom have certified the environmental exemption as of July 29, 2025. Payment details, invoicing methods, accounting codes, and packaging or marking requirements are not documented, and no offeror representations, certifications, or socioeconomic requirements are applicable since no contractor has been selected. All work is to be performed in Oroville, California, and submissions related to the project are expected through Caltrans’ internal electronic systems, though formal submission deadlines and formats are not explicitly defined. The project is administrative in nature, focused on confirming environmental compliance and preparing for execution rather than conducting a competitive acquisition.
