EMS/Census Station Replacement

The project involves replacing aging and non-functional census stations and avalanche control warning lights in June Lake and surrounding areas of Inyo and Mono Counties, California, to restore accurate vehicle counting and ensure reliable avalanche safety alerts. Conducted by Caltrans District 9 – Bishop, the work focuses on upgrading existing infrastructure rather than constructing new systems, with performance objectives centered on operational reliability and data accuracy. The solicitation number is 09-42660, issued on August 26, 2025, with a submission deadline previously listed as August 25, 2021, though this appears inconsistent with other dates in the documentation. The project falls under NAICS code 237990 for other heavy and civil engineering construction, and an environmental exemption has been certified under CEQA provisions, eliminating the need for a full environmental impact report. Contract administration is managed through the Caltrans Office of Planning and Research in Sacramento, with Rebeka Riesen, Environmental Scientist, designated as the primary point of contact. No detailed pricing, contract value, payment terms, invoicing procedures, or award evaluation criteria are provided in the available documentation. Similarly, no specific technical specifications, packaging requirements, labeling standards, delivery terms, or contract clause provisions such as those under FAR are included. The acceptance of work is expected on-site at the installed locations, with Caltrans retaining responsibility for inspection and approval. While a certified exemption document is required for submission, no formal representations from offerors, small business certifications, CAGE or UEI codes, or detailed performance schedules are available. The project relies on environmental compliance and administrative processes rather than extensive contractual obligations or militarized standards, reflecting a focused, locally managed infrastructure upgrade within state jurisdiction.
