Caltrans D6 CVIN Encroachment Permit # 06-25-6-SV-1557

CVIN, LLC has been authorized by Caltrans District 6 to conduct environmental windshield surveys along State Route 63 in Fresno County between postmiles 0.0 and 8.362 under Encroachment Permit #06-25-6-SV-1557. The work is strictly confined to the maintained shoulder of the roadway, with all vehicles required to remain on graded or shoulder-backed areas at all times. Survey teams may make brief stops in designated pull-out zones to visually identify and document sensitive species, but no ground disturbance, vegetation impact, wildlife trapping, or off-road travel is permitted. Safety measures mandate the placement of visible signage behind vehicles during stops. The project qualifies for a categorical exemption under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15306 Class 6, as it involves non-intrusive data collection with no significant environmental impact, eliminating the need for further environmental review. The permit is administrative in nature and not a competitively awarded federal contract, with no pricing, funding codes, or procurement clauses applicable. The work is governed by state regulatory frameworks and compliance is verified through the submission and approval of a certified exemption finding and Notice of Exemption. All operational requirements are strictly enforced to ensure no disruption to the state right-of-way or surrounding ecological resources. The lead agency contact is Alex Rangel, Senior Environmental Scientist at Caltrans District 6, and submissions must be sent via mail to the Office of Planning and Research in Sacramento. No formal contract type, evaluation factors, delivery schedules, or financial terms are defined, as the instrument serves solely as a regulatory authorization for low-impact environmental monitoring.
