Caltrans D6 CVIN Encroachment Permit # 06-25-6-SV-1386

Caltrans District 6 has issued Encroachment Permit #06-25-6-SV-1386 to CVIN for non-intrusive environmental survey work along State Route 99 at postmile 49.879 in McFarland, Kern County, California. The work is limited to windshield surveys conducted from vehicles traveling within the maintained shoulder areas, with occasional brief stops in designated pullouts to observe and document sensitive species. No ground disturbance, vegetation removal, or wildlife trapping is permitted, and all vehicles must remain within the state right-of-way. Safety measures require the placement of warning notices behind vehicles during stops. The activity is categorically exempt from environmental review under California Public Resources Code Section 15306, Class 6, due to its minimal impact as an information-gathering effort. The project has no financial value assigned, and no line items, pricing data, or budget details are provided, reflecting its nature as a permit-based administrative authorization rather than a procurement contract with defined costs. The sole deliverable is the collection of environmental data without physical modifications or installations. The overseeing agency is Caltrans District 6, with Alex Rangel, Senior Environmental Scientist, as the primary point of contact, and Jenafer Knight serving as the authorized agent for the applicant. No federal acquisition regulations apply, as this is a state-level permitting action governed by California environmental law, and no FAR clauses, contract types, evaluation factors, invoicing methods, accounting codes, or procurement certifications are present. There is no specified period of performance, delivery schedule, or submission deadline, and the work does not involve shipping, packaging, or logistics requirements. The Notice of Exemption and associated documentation were filed under CEQA, confirming compliance with state environmental standards, but no entity registration identifiers, size certifications, or affirmative representations required under federal procurement rules are included. The permit enables compliant, low-impact data collection within state transportation infrastructure limits without triggering broader contractual obligations or oversight mechanisms.
