CIP 7335: Birch Street Improvements

The City of Brea is undertaking pavement improvements along Birch Street from Brea Boulevard to South Associated Road under its Pavement Management Plan, with the project identified as CIP 7335. The scope includes full-depth pavement rehabilitation, removal and reconstruction of existing curb and gutter systems, rebuilding sidewalks, and installing ADA-compliant ramps to ensure accessibility. Work is confined to the current right-of-way and is categorized as a minor public improvement eligible for a categorical exemption under CEQA Section 15301(c), confirming compliance with state environmental regulations. The project is not subject to federal acquisition regulations, as it is a municipal infrastructure initiative funded and managed locally, with no federal funding, clauses, or accounting codes involved. No contract value, pricing details, or formal contract type are provided in the documentation, and no federal requirements such as Davis-Bacon, E-Verify, or small business set-asides apply. Performance will occur on-site at the specified location in Brea, California, with the City of Brea serving as the lead agency responsible for oversight. The point of contact for the Public Works Department is Michael Ho, Director of Public Works, and general inquiries can be directed to pwencroachmentpermit@cityofbrea.gov. The project’s environmental documentation, including a Notice of Exemption and supporting materials like the CDFW No Effect Determination and payment receipt, were filed with the Orange County Clerk-Recorder by the September 4, 2025 deadline. While no formal period of performance, delivery schedule, or inspection criteria are specified, the work is expected to meet municipal standards, Caltrans specifications, and ADA accessibility requirements. Submission of proposals or bids, though referenced in the filing timeline, is not detailed in the provided materials, suggesting that the procurement method has not been formally disclosed. The project is classified as a forecast, indicating it is in the planning phase with no formal contract awarded at this time.
