Local Roadway Safety Plan Project No. 3, HSIPL-5227(072)

The City of Delano is undertaking a roadway safety improvement project under the identifier HSIPL-5227(072), focused on enhancing traffic safety through the removal or relocation of fixed objects outside the Clear Recovery Zone and the installation of centerline and edge line rumble strips and striping. The work will be performed on four designated roadway segments within Delano, California—County Line Road, Browning Road, Norwalk Street, and Cecil Avenue—with the goal of reducing collision risks and improving driver awareness without expanding the existing roadway footprint. The project is classified as a ministerial action under CEQA Section 15301(c), which provides a categorical exemption for minor alterations to existing streets, and has received formal confirmation from the Department of Fish and Game that no adverse effects on protected species or habitats are expected. Environmental compliance is documented through a Notice of Exemption, payment of a $50 county administrative fee and a $4,123.50 EIR fee, and submission of required paperwork to the Kern County Clerk’s office in Bakersfield. The City of Delano acts as the lead agency and project applicant, with Jose Lara serving as the primary point of contact. No federal contract clauses, solicitation numbers, pricing data, or federal acquisition regulation structures are present, indicating this is a state-local initiative funded and administered by the city without federal procurement mechanisms. Performance is expected to occur on-site at the specified locations, with no formal contract award process, delivery schedule, or invoicing system defined, as the project is implemented through administrative and environmental compliance procedures rather than competitive bidding or contractual obligations. The work aligns with standard local roadway maintenance and safety practices, though no specific technical standards such as MUTCD or Caltrans specifications are explicitly cited.
