Encroachment Permit 1225-6MC-0495

The project under Encroachment Permit 1225-6MC-0495, administered by Caltrans District 12 in La Habra, California, involves the replacement of an existing fire hydrant and installation of a firewater system, along with the construction of ADA-compliant curb ramps, pavement restoration, and landscaping. All work is to be conducted along State Route-39 at Post Mile 22.0 to 22.2 near 310 and 330 E. Whittier Blvd., with temporary traffic control measures including necessary closures to ensure public safety during construction. The project is categorized under a Class 1(b) statutory exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act, which confirms its eligibility for a ministerial approval process without the need for comprehensive environmental review. The permit is forecasted with a posted date of December 29, 2025, and was signed on October 1, 2025, but no formal contract value, pricing details, or period of performance have been specified. No solicitation number or formal procurement process is documented, indicating this is an administrative permit action rather than a competitively bid contract. The California Department of Transportation serves as both the applicant and the entity responsible for inspection and acceptance, with Judy Bernal, Senior Environmental Planner, acting as the primary point of contact. The only required submission is a certified document of exemption finding, with no additional attachments, packaging, invoicing, payment details, or federal acquisition regulation clauses specified. There are no requirements for security clearances, key personnel, contract options, or organizational conflict of interest provisions, and the project falls entirely within routine public infrastructure improvement standards under Caltrans jurisdiction, with compliance implied but not explicitly detailed for technical specifications such as MUTCD or ADA design guidelines.
