Caldecott Power Outage- 0V460/0426000257

The project involves repairing storm water damage to the transformer and associated electrical equipment at the Caldecott Tunnel Bores 1, 2, 3, and 4 located at postmile 5.9 on SR24 in Oakland, Alameda County, to restore power and ensure the functionality of critical tunnel systems including lighting, ventilation, and safety infrastructure. This work is classified under a Class 1 Categorical Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act, allowing for emergency restoration of damaged facilities to meet public health and safety standards without requiring a full environmental impact review. The project was posted as a forecast on January 14, 2026, with no solicitation number, contract value, or detailed pricing information provided. The sole attachment required is a certified document of exemption finding, submitted to the Office of Planning and Research in Sacramento. The lead agency is Caltrans, District 4 - Bay Area/Oakland, with Mariam Farrar, Senior Environmental Scientist, serving as the primary point of contact. No contract clauses from the Federal Acquisition Regulation are included, nor are there any specified evaluation factors, award criteria, payment details, invoicing methods, contracting officer representatives, or special requirements such as security clearances, key personnel designations, or contract options. The place of performance is clearly defined as the tunnel bores themselves, and no delivery, FOB, packaging, or marking specifications are outlined. The project scope is narrowly focused on repair and restoration, with no indication of expanded work, options, or socioeconomic set-asides. All documentation centers on environmental compliance and project confirmation rather than traditional procurement terms.
