Roundabout at Ward Avenue and Salado Avenue Project

The City of Patterson is undertaking a transportation improvement project at the intersection of Ward Avenue and Salado Avenue to install a mini traffic circle or roundabout aimed at alleviating congestion along both roadways. The scope includes full-depth reconstruction of severely deteriorated pavement sections along Ward Avenue from American Eagle Avenue to 9th Street and along Salado Avenue from Ward Avenue to 7th Street, followed by asphalt overlays, dig-outs, and new roadway striping. Thirteen existing curb ramps within the project limits will be replaced to comply with current Americans with Disabilities Act standards, ensuring accessibility compliance. All work is confined to the City’s right-of-way, with an assessment required for a potential conflict involving a TID power pole and guy wire at the northeast corner of the intersection. The project is administratively classified under a Class 1 categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act, eliminating the need for an environmental impact report, and has been supported by an approved Notice of Exemption and a No Effect Determination from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. The project is funded through local appropriations and administrative filing fees, with no federal funding or federal acquisition regulations applicable. Financial transactions related to environmental compliance involve payments of $850 and $57 to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, but no formal contract value, pricing structure, or line-item costs are specified. The City of Patterson serves as both the project applicant and contracting entity, with Tiffany Rodriguez, Director of Engineering, acting as the sole point of contact. There are no designated Contracting Officer’s Representatives, Procurement Contracting Officers, or formal inspection criteria beyond regulatory compliance with CEQA and ADA standards. All submissions for environmental documentation, including the Notice of Exemption and fee receipts, must be delivered via mail or hand to Stanislaus County and state agencies by the August 29, 2025 deadline, with no electronic submission options available. The solicitation number is 50-2025-155, and while the work is forecasted to begin after this date, no official performance schedule, FOB terms, or delivery timelines have been released.
