EX2025-01 - Surprise Valley Active Transportation Project

Modoc County is advancing the Surprise Valley Active Transportation Project in Cedarville, California, to enhance pedestrian safety and accessibility within a disadvantaged community by constructing approximately 15,000 linear feet of ADA-compliant sidewalks, high-visibility and raised crosswalks, and a dedicated safe drop-off and walking area for students at Surprise Valley Elementary School. The project focuses on minor improvements to existing infrastructure without expanding vehicle lanes, qualifying for a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) categorical exemption under Section 15301(c), which permits such pedestrian upgrades without requiring extensive environmental review. All work will be performed at designated locations in Cedarville, including CR-1, Center, High, Washington, Lincoln, Garfield, Bonner, and Ann Streets, with performance centered on the elementary school site and surrounding neighborhoods. The project is being led by the Modoc County Road Department and overseen by the Planning Department, with Sean Curtis as the primary point of contact and Lilly Toaetolu serving as the Deputy Road Commissioner for implementation. No formal contract number, pricing data, or detailed evaluation criteria have been disclosed, and the document classification is a forecast with no established contract type such as Firm Fixed Price or IDIQ. There are no specified periods of performance, FOB terms, invoicing methods, or accounting codes, and while ADA compliance is required for all new facilities, no formal inspection protocols, quality assurance specifications, or contractor certifications are outlined in the available documentation. A certified CEQA exemption notice is the only identified attachment, and submission instructions point to a paper filing process with no electronic portal or deadline provided, indicating an informal procurement process governed primarily by state environmental and local infrastructure guidelines rather than federal acquisition regulations.
