Placerville 49 CAPM,EA 03-2J110/EFIS 0321000189

The Placerville 49 CAPM project, managed by Caltrans District 3 in Marysville/Sacramento, is a forecast infrastructure initiative located on State Route 49 in Placerville, California. The primary objective is to preserve the existing pavement and prevent roadway deterioration by cold-planing 0.25 feet of pavement and replacing it with 0.25 feet of Gap Graded Rubberized Hot Mix Asphalt. The scope of work also includes improving drainage systems to minimize roadway ponding, upgrading curb ramps to meet current Americans with Disabilities Act standards, modifying traffic signals, constructing a maintenance vehicle pullout, and updating signage and striping. The project is categorized under NAICS code 237310 and has been granted a CEQA exemption and a NEPA categorical exclusion, as the work is primarily conducted within Caltrans right-of-way and seventeen temporary construction easements. Contractors must adhere to strict environmental and safety specifications, including the handling of lead-containing earth materials, treated wood waste, and paint residue. Additional requirements include implementing bird protection measures, providing a contractor-supplied biologist, and managing noise and vibration controls, particularly for night construction near residential areas.
