Minor Alteration No. WA2025152 – Cultrea Pipe Replacement Project

The project involves the removal and replacement of a 16-inch steel pipe that penetrates the north bank levee of the Stanislaus River, a structure that predates the current flood control system and is referenced in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Operation and Maintenance Manual for the Lower San Joaquin River and Tributaries Project, specifically Drawing No. 7-4-1685, Sheets 1685/10 and 58 at Station 307+57A. Work includes installing a positive closure device on the waterside hinge of the new pipe to ensure watertight integrity and replacing 11.05 inches of aggregate base along the existing road to restore its structural functionality. The project is located at U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Unit 2, levee mile 0.327 on the Stanislaus River in San Joaquin County, California, with the work site identifiable by geographic coordinates 37.6648944, -121.23664. The Central Valley Flood Protection Board is the procuring agency, operating from 3310 El Camino Avenue, Suite 170, Sacramento, CA 95821, and has designated Jennifer Calles as the primary point of contact. The project qualifies for a categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), specifically Sections 15301, 15302, 15304, and 15282(k), as it constitutes a minor alteration to existing infrastructure without expanding its functional capacity. No contract value, pricing details, schedule, or formal contract type are specified in the documentation. There is no identification of a contracting officer, contracting officer’s representative, or technical representative. No solicitation or contract number is formally assigned, though the project is internally referenced as Minor Alteration No. WA2025152. The signing date for the associated CEQA exemption notice was January 15, 2026, with the notice posted publicly on January 16, 2026. No information on payment methods, invoicing procedures, accounting codes, delivery terms, packaging, inspection standards beyond CEQA and Corps references, or contractor representations such as size status or uniqueness is provided.
