Ferndale Access Project, 01-0N330

The Ferndale Access Project, managed by Caltrans District 1 in Eureka, involves a geotechnical investigation to develop design recommendations for the rehabilitation or repair of Fernbridge over the Eel River in Humboldt County. The scope of work is centered on data collection adjacent to State Route 211 between post mile R77 and 78.7. The investigation consists of seven drill locations, including five soil borings with two located on the river bar and three in upland areas, as well as two piezometers in upland locations. Technical specifications for the drilling include a depth of approximately 300 feet and borehole sizes not exceeding 6 inches. The project is classified under NAICS code 541360 and is designated as a special notice. Because the work is conducted on existing roadways or roadway shoulders and involves minimal environmental disturbance, it is exempt under Categorical Exemption 15306 for Information Collection. Breeanna Kalson serves as the primary environmental coordinator and lead agency contact for the project. No specific contract value, period of performance, or detailed pricing schedules were provided in the available documentation.
