One-Way STOP Control on Road 234 at Avenue 80, South of Terra Bella

The project involves installing a one-way stop sign at the uncontrolled T-intersection of Road 234 and Avenue 80, located just south of the unincorporated community of Terra Bella in Tulare County, California, to improve traffic safety and regulate vehicular flow. The decision to install the sign follows a safety investigation by the Tulare County Resource Management Agency, which confirmed the location meets the standards outlined in Section 2B.04 of the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices and is authorized under California Vehicle Code Section 22450(c), allowing local authorities to place stop signs where they enhance public safety. Environmental compliance is established under CEQA Class 1, Section 15301(c), exempting the project from further environmental review due to its minimal impact as an improvement to an existing facility. The work is limited to the physical installation of a compliant stop sign at the specified intersection, with no additional infrastructure changes or complex construction activities. Performance and inspection will occur on-site, with acceptance determined by Tulare County officials based on adherence to state traffic control standards. There is no disclosed contract value, payment terms, delivery schedule, or formal procurement process, as this is not a typical competitive contract but rather a ministerial action under state authority, supported by agency engineering and environmental determinations. Contact information is provided for key personnel including the Chief Planner, Chief Engineer, and Environmental Planner, with all correspondence routed through the Tulare County Resource Management Agency based in Visalia. No federal acquisition regulations, subcontracting requirements, socioeconomic certifications, or specialized contract clauses apply, as this is a locally managed infrastructure enhancement with no federal funding or oversight.
