Permit No. 19875: Authorize Existing State Route 70 North Fork Feather River Bridge 09-009 at Post Mile 6.33

The Central Valley Flood Protection Board has authorized the continued use of the existing single-span, 135-foot-long, 28-foot-wide, two-lane steel through arch bridge, Caltrans Bridge No. 09-0009, located on State Route 70 at Post Mile 6.33 over the North Fork Feather River in Plumas County, California. This authorization is formalized under Permit No. 19875 and is based on a categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), specifically Sections 15301 and 21080(b)(4), which recognize the structure as an existing facility with no planned modifications, construction, or physical changes. The action is administrative in nature and does not involve competitive procurement, financial compensation, or performance-based deliverables; its sole purpose is regulatory recognition of the bridge’s continued operation. There is no identified contract value, pricing structure, or procurement type, and no federal acquisition regulation clauses or traditional contract sections such as evaluation factors, packaging requirements, or inspection criteria are applicable or included. The California Department of Transportation is the entity responsible for the structure, while the Central Valley Flood Protection Board serves as the approving agency. Primary points of contact for the permit include Angela Nguyen-Tan, Senior Environmental Scientist, and Jason Mcomber, Engineer, who serve as the main liaisons for project inquiries. The permit was signed on January 21, 2026, and publicly posted on January 22, 2026, with no amendments, modifications, or solicitation numbers assigned. No offeror representations, socioeconomic certifications, unique entity identifiers, or delivery schedules are relevant or documented, as the process does not involve contracting with external vendors or contractors. The project’s regulatory basis is entirely rooted in state environmental law exemptions, and all logistical, financial, and procurement elements typically associated with federal or state contracts are absent, reflecting a streamlined administrative approval for a pre-existing infrastructure asset.
