Calaveras Curve Warning Signs Installation

The California Department of Transportation, District 10 – Stockton, is seeking to install curve warning signs along State Route 26 in Calaveras County at three specific post-mile segments: PM 19.26–19.38, PM 20.33–20.61, and PM 27.68–28.38, all within Caltrans right of way. The primary objective of this project is to enhance motorist safety by reducing the frequency and severity of vehicle accidents on hazardous curved sections of the roadway. All work must comply with stringent environmental and cultural resource protection requirements, including immediate cessation of activities if cultural materials or human remains are encountered, with mandatory notification protocols involving the County Coroner, Native American Heritage Commission, and Most Likely Descendant as prescribed by Public Resources Code Section 5097.98 and Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5. A Lead Compliance Plan, prepared and certified by a Licensed Certified Industrial Hygienist, is required for any earth material containing lead, which must remain on-site and not be removed or transported. The project has been determined eligible for categorical exemptions under CEQA and NEPA, and compliance with Caltrans Special Provision 7-1.02K(6)(j)(iii) is mandatory for all earthwork activities involving lead-contaminated soil. The solicitation is issued under number 10-1S740 and was posted on October 17, 2025, with work expected to occur in October 2025. While no contract value, evaluation factors, or detailed payment or invoicing procedures are specified, the project is administered by Caltrans with oversight from key personnel including Maria Garcia Lopez as the primary point of contact and Chiu Liu as Project Manager. No federal acquisition regulation clauses are included, and the contract relies solely on Caltrans-specific provisions and state environmental statutes. There are no defined delivery terms, FOB conditions, packaging, or marking requirements, and the scope is strictly limited to installation within the designated roadway segments. Proposals must address environmental compliance, cultural resource response protocols, and adherence to the Lead Compliance Plan, but no formal submission format, page limits, or electronic portal instructions are provided. The contract type, award basis, and socioeconomic set-asides are not disclosed, and no information regarding the offeror’s size status or unique entity identification is required in the available documentation.
