HSIP Cycle 12 - High Friction Surface Treatment

Placer County is preparing to implement High Friction Surface Treatments (HFST) along abrupt horizontal curves on key roadways in north Auburn, Granite Bay, and Lincoln to reduce high-severity collisions. The project, identified as HSIP Cycle 12, targets specific locations including Auburn Folsom Road, Barton Road, Dry Creek Road, Horseshoe Bar Road, Humphrey Road, Joeger Road, Riosa Road, Mt Vernon Road, and McCourtney Road, with the primary goal of enhancing pavement skid resistance to improve vehicle control and safety. The initiative is categorized as a minor alteration to existing highway facilities under California’s CEQA Class 1, Section 15301(c) categorical exemption, which exempt it from environmental impact review due to its limited scope and non-expansive nature. All work will occur on existing roadways within Placer County, California, and acceptance of the treatment will take place at the installation sites. The procurement is currently in a forecast stage with no solicitation number, contract value, pricing details, or formal contract type specified. The Placer County Department of Public Works is the lead agency, with Kyle Friedrich serving as the primary point of contact and Derek Gade as the authorized signing authority. No formal contract administration roles such as COR, COTR, or PCO have been designated in the available information, and no payment office, invoicing procedures, accounting codes, or delivery terms such as FOB are outlined. There are no identified FAR clauses, special requirements, evaluation factors, or offeror certifications, as the documentation centers on CEQA compliance and project description rather than federal procurement regulations. Submissions related to the environmental exemption must be filed with either the Office of Planning and Research in Sacramento or the Placer County Clerk’s office in Auburn, with no electronic submission system referenced. The project is posted as of September 10, 2025, but no performance period, delivery schedule, or construction timeline is provided.
