(JOC) Lower Sacramento Road Concrete Repair

The project involves minor concrete repairs on Lower Sacramento Road in San Joaquin County, California, to prepare the roadway for future bike lane striping. Work is focused on two specific locations: removing and replacing two heaved Portland Cement Concrete panels in the median 1,520 feet north of Mettler Road, and modifying the pork chop island at Extension Road, 1,700 feet south of Harney Lane, to accommodate planned bike lane infrastructure. The work is classified as a categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act due to its minor nature and lack of significant environmental impact, with no federal contract clauses applicable. Environmental protections are a key consideration, as the site is surrounded by trees that may host nesting Swainson’s Hawks and other migratory birds protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act; a pre-construction survey is recommended if work occurs between February 15 and September 1. The project is administered by San Joaquin County Public Works, with Fatima Gutierrez serving as the primary point of contact. No contract value, pricing, or payment details are provided, and the work is expected to improve public safety, reduce future maintenance needs, and support the county’s broader transportation goals. All performance occurs on-site at the two designated locations, with inspection and acceptance handled by the county as the lead agency. Submissions for environmental compliance documentation must be filed through the CEQAnet portal or at the county clerk’s office, with required attachments including the project description, vicinity map, and CDFW No Effect Determination. There are no specified delivery schedules, FOB terms, packaging requirements, or evaluation criteria for contractors, as the project appears to be a small-scale public works effort managed directly by the county under state environmental guidelines.
