Permit No. 20019 – Miners Ravine Bridge Project

The Miners Ravine Bridge Project, permit number 20019, involves the regulatory authorization of an existing structure on Interstate 80 in Placer County, California, completed in February 1990, prior to the stream being designated as regulated. The project is not a construction or modification effort but rather an administrative action to confirm compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act through a categorical exemption under Title 14, Section 15301, which applies to existing facilities that were lawfully in place before the issuance of new environmental regulations. No new construction, funding, delivery schedule, or contract value is involved. The lead agency is Caltrans District 3 in Marysville/Sacramento, with oversight and approval from the Central Valley Flood Protection Board, and the permitting action was certified on July 13, 2026, with the notice posted on July 16, 2026. There is no federal acquisition regulation framework applied, as the document is an environmental permitting record, not a federal contract, and contains no FAR or DFARS clauses, no pricing, no invoicing procedures, no payment details, no inspection or acceptance protocols, no subcontracting or socioeconomic certifications, and no formal solicitation or contract type designation. The project relies entirely on state environmental laws, with the only deliverable being the formal confirmation of exemption status under CEQA. Point of contact for environmental review is Angela Nguyen-Tan of the Central Valley Flood Protection Board, and Jason McComber of Caltrans serves as the project engineer. The permit has no period of performance because the structure already exists and no work is required beyond administrative approval. Submission was processed via mail to a Sacramento office, with no electronic portal used, and no technical specifications, packaging requirements, or performance standards are cited beyond the legal basis of the exemption.
