Joy Road PM 11.10 Emergency Slide Repair Project

Joy Road at Post Mile 11.10 in Occidental, California, is undergoing emergency repairs due to severe damage caused by winter storms, which compromised the roadway’s structural integrity and jeopardized public safety for local residents, regional traffic, and emergency responders. The project involves constructing a retaining wall along the roadway edge, removing accumulated mud and debris, and restoring failed sections of the road to ensure safe and continuous use. Classified as an emergency project under California’s Emergency Services Act and exempt from full environmental review pursuant to CEQA Sections 21080(b)(4) and 15269(b)(c), the work is being managed internally by Sonoma County’s Department of Transportation and Public Works without a competitive procurement process. The project was approved on January 18, 2024, and a Notice of Exemption was filed on September 2, 2025, with a 30-day public comment period concluding October 5, 2025. No contract value, pricing details, or financial line items are provided, and no formal contract type such as FFP or IDIQ is designated—only a forecast status is indicated. Performance is centered entirely at the project site in Sonoma County, with no FOB terms or delivery schedules specified. Inspection and acceptance responsibilities fall to the county, with Senior Engineer Cindy Rader serving as the primary point of contact for technical oversight. No formal COR, COTR, or PCO is named, and no invoicing systems, payment offices, or accounting codes are outlined. The only required documentation is a certified exemption finding, filed with the Sonoma County Clerk’s Office and the State Office of Planning and Research, with no electronic submission methods or digital formats specified. No offeror certifications, UEI, CAGE codes, or socioeconomic status declarations are applicable, as the project is executed by the county without external contractors.
