Coffee Road, I Street, and College Avenue Signal Coordination

The City of Modesto is undertaking a traffic signal coordination improvement project along Coffee Road from Briggsmore Avenue to Claratina Avenue, College Avenue and Needham Street to the Traffic Operations Center at 10th Street, and I Street from 10th Street to 17th Street. The project involves the installation of new software and hardware upgrades to enhance signal synchronization across these corridors, aiming to optimize traffic flow and reduce delays. All work is performance-based and concentrated within Modesto, California, in Stanislaus County, with no indications of external contractors involved; the City's Public Works Department is acting as both the applicant and performer. The project has been classified as exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301(c) as a minor alteration to existing facilities, requiring submission of a Notice of Exemption, a No Effect Determination from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and payment of environmental filing fees, which are remitted to CDFW and documented via cash receipts. No formal solicitation or contract number, pricing data, or federal acquisition regulation clauses are present, as this is a forecasted project with administrative compliance documentation rather than a competitively bid procurement. Submission of all required environmental documentation is done exclusively by physical mail to the City of Modesto Utilities Department and filed with the Stanislaus County Clerk-Recorder’s Office, with no electronic submission options available. The project’s point of contact is Max Navarro, Associate Engineer, and the filing date for environmental compliance is December 12, 2025, though no formal period of performance or delivery schedule has been specified. The City assumes full responsibility for inspection and acceptance, with no defined quality standards, inspection criteria, or contracting officer roles identified beyond the administrative compliance process.
