Caltrans D6 CVIN Encroachment Permit # 06-25-6-SV-1406

Caltrans District 6 has issued Encroachment Permit #06-25-6-SV-1406 to CVIN, LLC for environmental survey activities along State Route 198 in Visalia, California, between postmiles 6.764 and 9.49. The work is limited to windshield surveys conducted from vehicles, with occasional, brief stops permitted only in designated pull-out areas to observe and document sensitive species. All vehicles must remain strictly within the maintained shoulder areas, and no ground disturbance, vegetation removal, or wildlife trapping is allowed under any circumstances. Safety protocols require the placement of warning signage behind vehicles during stops. The activity is conducted under a categorical exemption under CEQA Section 15306, Class 6, for information collection, and the applicant has submitted a certified exemption finding and Notice of Exemption as required. The project has no estimated contract value, no pricing data, and no traditional contract type such as FFP or IDIQ. Performance occurs solely at the project site, with Caltrans as the overseeing authority responsible for inspection and compliance verification. There are no specified start or end dates for performance, no delivery or invoicing terms, and no federal acquisition regulation clauses or standardized contract language apply, as this is an environmental permit, not a federally funded procurement. The primary point of contact is Alex Rangel, Senior Environmental Scientist at Caltrans District 6, with Jenafer Knight serving as the authorized agent for the applicant. No socioeconomic certifications, unique entity identifiers, CAGE codes, or procurement evaluation factors are included, and no formal contract administration or payment details are provided beyond the agency's general office address in Fresno.
