HM4-TMS Eureka 25/26 (01-0P790)

Caltrans District 1 in Eureka is undertaking a state-funded infrastructure project in Humboldt County, specifically along Route 101 between postmile 78.4 and 79.4, to modernize aging Traffic Management Systems (TMS) within existing State right-of-way. The scope includes replacing obsolete Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) units, traffic signal heads, interconnecting wiring, communication hardware, and electronic components within Changeable Message Sign (CMS) boards, along with upgrading traffic count devices and inductive loop detectors. All equipment replacements will be confined to existing paved surfaces and non-vegetated turnouts, with no tree removal or soil disturbance beyond pavement limits, ensuring minimal environmental impact. The project aims to extend the operational life of critical TMS assets by replacing technology that is outdated, malfunctioning, or nearing end-of-life, thereby improving system reliability and safety for transportation operations. The project is classified under NAICS code 237310 and is governed by a Class 1 Categorical Exemption under Title 14, Section 15304 of the California Code of Regulations, confirming its minor nature with no significant environmental effects. All work will be performed on-site by the contractor under Caltrans oversight, with final inspection and acceptance occurring at the installation locations. While no contract value, pricing details, or formal performance period are specified, the project is listed as a forecast with a posted date of July 29, 2025, and submissions are to be directed to Caltrans’s Office of Planning and Research in Sacramento. The primary point of contact is Coady Reynolds, Senior Environmental Scientist, who can be reached at (707) 502-8041. No federal acquisition regulation clauses, packaging requirements, evaluation factors, or offeror certifications are detailed in the available documentation, indicating this is primarily an infrastructure upgrade executed under state authority with streamlined environmental compliance.
