HM4- Safety Rumble Strips

Caltrans District 11 in San Diego is proposing a safety improvement project along I-5, specifically installing rumble strips on both the inside and outside shoulders from the Camino de la Plaza Overcrossing to 0.5 miles north of the I-5/SR 54 Separation, along with minor shoulder repairs and application of a fog seal coat to enhance durability. All work is confined within the State Right of Way and does not require extensive environmental review, as the project qualifies for categorical exclusions under both the California Environmental Quality Act and the National Environmental Policy Act, supported by a certified exemption finding and an Environmental Commitments Record. The project is identified under solicitation number 11-2N287 and posted as a forecast on November 24, 2025, indicating it is in the planning phase with no confirmed contract value, pricing details, or formal contract type published. The agency has designated Hamed Baha as Project Manager and Emery McCaffery as the primary point of contact for environmental coordination, with inspection and acceptance responsibilities residing with Caltrans. While federal acquisition regulations are not applicable and no FAR clauses, payment instructions, invoicing systems, or contractor certifications are specified, the project adheres to state-led environmental compliance protocols and is funded through the Federal-aid highway program under 23 USC, with project ID PID 1126000034. No delivery schedule, FOB terms, packaging requirements, or evaluation criteria are provided, and no external contractor has been identified, reflecting the preliminary nature of this forecast.
