Geotechnical Investigation for the proposed State Route 152 Pavement and Complete Streets Project

Caltrans District 5 is planning a subsurface geotechnical investigation to support the State Route 152 Pavement and Complete Streets Project, focusing on utility location and shoulder embankment stabilization along Post Miles T0.31–T4.14 in Watsonville, California. The work will involve drilling five borings to collect soil and rock samples, conduct visual logging, and perform in-situ testing to characterize subsurface conditions essential for engineering design. The project is classified under CEQA Class 6 statutory exemptions, with a certified exemption finding and a filed Notice of Exemption serving as the environmental compliance foundation. No formal contract type, pricing, or award evaluation criteria are specified in the documentation, as the posting is a forecast indicating future procurement intent rather than an active solicitation. Performance will occur entirely at the project site in Watsonville, with Caltrans Office of Geotechnical Design West overseeing execution. The point of contact for administrative and technical coordination is Kylen Kennedy, Environmental Scientist, reachable via phone and email, though no formal Contracting Officer’s Representative or technical representative is designated. There are no specified packaging, labeling, preservation, or quality standards beyond implied geotechnical best practices, and no federal acquisition regulations or military standards apply. The agency code 5c67f219 is noted internally, but no UEI, CAGE code, or socioeconomic certifications are required or applicable, as the procuring entity is a state agency. No delivery schedule, payment details, invoicing instructions, or accounting data are provided, and all contractual elements remain undefined pending the formal solicitation process.
