John St and Ramona Avenue Right-of-Way (NCP2443)

The City of Monterey is undertaking a minor public improvement project within its right-of-way along Highway 1 between John Street and Ramona Avenue, involving the installation of a six-foot-tall perimeter fence and the planting of twenty-four new shrubs to create a visual buffer from the highway. The project is classified under a CEQA categorical exemption, specifically Class 1, Section 15301, confirming it as a minor alteration to land with no significant environmental impact, and it complies with relevant sections of the California Public Resources Code. All work is confined to existing public rights-of-way without expansion or land acquisition, and the place of performance is clearly defined as Monterey, California, with a ZIP code of 93940. The project was posted as a forecast on December 22, 2025, with a submission deadline for exemption documentation set for December 2, 2025, and the lead agency contact is Christy Sabdo, Principal Planner, reachable via phone or email for inquiries. No federal acquisition regulations, clause requirements, pricing data, payment details, inspection criteria, packaging specifications, or evaluation factors are included in the documentation, as this is a municipally administered environmental compliance project governed by state law rather than federal procurement rules. The City of Monterey serves as both the contracting agency and responsible entity for oversight, with no designated contracting officer, COR, COTR, or offeror representations identified, and no contract value or financial terms are provided. Submissions for the exemption notice are to be mailed to a Sacramento office, with no electronic filing option specified, and the only formal attachment required is a certified justification for the CEQA exemption.
