COL 5 Storm Damaged Pavement (EA 03-4J210)

The California Department of Transportation, District 3 – Marysville/Sacramento, has initiated an emergency pavement repair project on Interstate 5 in Colusa County, identified as COL 5 Storm Damaged Pavement (EA 03-4J210), to address damage caused by the January 2023 storm event and authorized under FEMA Declaration FEMA-4683-DR. The work scope includes site preparation, mudjacking, pavement grinding, paving, striping, minor grading, traffic control, and incidental tasks limited to the existing right-of-way between post miles R3.00 and R10.00, with no new infrastructure, borrow, or disposal required. The project is categorically exempt from full environmental review under CEQA Class 1(d) and NEPA 23 CFR 771.117(c)(1) and (d)(1), supported by 23 USC 326 and 327, and approved through a Director’s Order issued on February 24, 2023, with environmental determinations finalized on January 21–22, 2026. Performance is expected to proceed on an as-needed basis under emergency authorities, with inspection and acceptance conducted on-site by Caltrans personnel, including Project Manager John Wong and Senior Environmental Planner Lisa Springer, who also serve as the primary administrative contacts. The solicitation is classified as a forecast with no formal contract value, solicitation number, or pricing details provided, and no competitive bidding process is anticipated due to its emergency nature and internal execution under existing Caltrans authority. Key personnel and environmental compliance certifications are in place, but no standard FAR contract clauses, evaluation factors, payment terms, invoicing methods, packaging requirements, or contractor representations are documented, as the project does not involve external offerors or formal procurement procedures. All administrative actions have been executed electronically via Caltrans systems with e-signatures and digital documentation.
