Ramona Expressway Resurfacing

The County of Riverside Transportation Department is planning to resurface approximately 6,950 feet of Ramona Expressway between SH-74 (E. Florida Ave.) and Lake Street in Valle Vista, California, as part of an operation and maintenance activity under the Western Riverside County Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Plan. The project involves full removal of the existing asphalt pavement and replacement with hot mix asphalt, along with reconstruction of asphalt concrete dikes, concrete cross gutters and spandrels, access ramps, and sidewalks. Additional scopes include utility adjustments, full roadway striping with pavement markers and reflectors, salvage and replacement of traffic signs, upgrading signal head back plates to current standards, and reinstalling traffic inductive loop detectors. No expansion of roadway capacity or new right-of-way acquisition is included. Environmental compliance is critical, requiring pre-construction surveys for Burrowing Owls within 30 days of ground disturbance and migratory bird nesting surveys during the breeding season from February 1 to September 1, with the project claiming exemption under CEQA Section 15301(c) as maintenance of an existing facility under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. The place of performance is strictly limited to the specified stretch of Ramona Expressway. The project is currently in a forecast stage with no solicitation number, contract value, pricing, or evaluation factors publicly available. The County of Riverside Transportation Department is the procuring entity, with Frances Segovia listed as the Senior Transportation Planner and primary point of contact. No formal contract clauses from the FAR or DFARS are incorporated, and no details on payment offices, invoicing systems, contracting officer representatives, or contractor certifications have been provided. The only referenced financial information is a $50 administrative fee tied to a journal voucher, not the project’s construction budget. Project execution is subject to environmental review and adherence to state habitat conservation protocols, with no indication of scheduled performance dates or contract award methodology.
