Caltrans D6 CVIN Encroachment Permit # 06-25-6-SV-1412

Caltrans District 6 has issued Encroachment Permit #06-25-6-SV-1412 to CVIN, LLC to conduct non-intrusive environmental survey work along State Route 99 at postmile 5.034 in unincorporated Kern County near the City of Arvin. The authorized activities are strictly limited to windshield surveys conducted from within vehicles, with brief stops permitted only in designated pull-out areas along the maintained shoulder to observe and document sensitive species. All vehicles must remain within graded or shoulder-backed areas, and no ground disturbance, vegetation removal, or wildlife trapping is allowed. Safety protocols require the placement of warning signage behind vehicles during stops. The project is administratively exempt under CEQA Class 6, Section 15306, as it involves routine data collection without significant environmental impact. No pricing, contract value, or payment terms are specified, as the permit is not a traditional procurement but a regulatory authorization for low-impact fieldwork. The work is subject to oversight by Caltrans, with Alex Rangel serving as the senior environmental scientist point of contact, and Jenafer Knight designated as the authorized agent. The permit requires submission of a certified exemption finding and notice of exemption, though no formal invoicing, delivery schedules, or inspection criteria beyond permit compliance are detailed. The project is confined to the State right-of-way, with no provisions for subcontracting, socioeconomic certifications, or federal acquisition regulation clauses applicable to traditional government contracts.
