Picacho Road Bridge Replacement - IS24-0037

Imperial County Department of Public Works is moving forward with the replacement of the aging timber Picacho Road Bridge over the Yuma Main Canal near Winterhaven, California, to address structural deterioration, ensure continued safe access to the Quechan Indian Reservation and Bard community, and support regional commerce. The project is documented under Initial Study IS #24-0037 as part of compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, which has resulted in a Negative Declaration to conclude that the replacement will not have a significant environmental impact. The scope of work centers on constructing a new bridge to replace the structurally deficient existing structure, with performance and delivery occurring at the bridge site in Winterhaven, CA, ZIP 92283. While the project is forecasted and approved administratively, with a posted date of November 20, 2025, and an approval date of November 12, 2025, no formal contract award, pricing, or binding solicitation details are available—indicating the current documentation represents planning and environmental review phases rather than a fully executed procurement. The primary point of contact is Jim Minnick, Director of Imperial County Department of Public Works, located in El Centro, CA. No federal acquisition regulation clauses, evaluation factors, delivery terms, payment details, or contractor certifications are present in the documentation, as the process remains under state environmental review and local government administration without federal procurement structure. Specific construction standards, inspection criteria, or quality benchmarks have not been outlined in the available materials, and no contract type, period of performance, or funding account information has been disclosed.
