Damage repair resulted from an Atmospheric River Strom.(EA 1R640)

Emergency repairs are being conducted on State Route 330 between PM 29.6 and PM 43.9 in San Bernardino County, California, following severe damage caused by an Atmospheric River storm that triggered flooding and debris flows within the Line Fire burn scar. The storm overwhelmed drainage systems, deposited extensive sediment, and caused significant erosion and undermining of roadway embankments, resulting in the destruction of debris barriers, guardrails, cable railings, signage, and the complete closure of the roadway in both directions. The project scope involves emergency restoration of the highway through debris and sediment removal, structural repair of undermined embankments, and functional rehabilitation of all affected drainage and safety infrastructure. The work is being executed under a Director’s Order and is classified as a minor repair under CEQA Class 1(c), exempting it from full environmental review based on existing Caltrans maintenance standards. The California Department of Transportation, District 8, is the lead agency overseeing the project, with Gita Tokhmafshan, Senior Environmental Planner, serving as the primary point of contact. No formal contract value, pricing details, FAR clauses, or standard procurement evaluation factors have been provided, and the solicitation number 1R640 is referenced in conjunction with a Notice of Exemption and certified exemption finding as required for administrative compliance. The place of performance is strictly limited to the affected segment of SR-330, with no delivery or FOB terms applicable as the nature of the work is service-based infrastructure repair. Submission of required environmental documentation must be mailed to the Office of Planning and Research in Sacramento, though no deadline, electronic submission method, or specific proposal format has been formally established.
