SAC 5 Slabs Settlement (EA 03-2N160)

The California Department of Transportation, District 3 – Marysville/Sacramento, is advancing the SAC 5 Slabs Settlement project (EA 03-2N160) to repair deteriorated Portland cement concrete slabs on Interstate 5 at post mile 3.10 in Sacramento County. The scope includes mobilization, saw cutting, removal and replacement or mudjacking of failed slabs, and implementation of traffic control measures to ensure public safety and maintain roadway functionality. The project is classified as a minor maintenance activity under CEQA Class 1(d) and NEPA categorical exclusions, eliminating the need for extensive environmental reviews or additional regulatory permits. Work will be performed entirely within the existing right-of-way, with no new borrow, disposal, or land acquisition required. The project is governed by federal statutes 23 USC 326 and 327 and operates under the terms of the May 27, 2022, FHWA-Caltrans Memorandum of Understanding. This initiative is currently in forecast status with no solicitation number, awarded contract, or identified contractor. No pricing, contract type, payment details, invoicing method, or financial estimates have been published, suggesting the work will be executed through existing budget authorities via a Director’s Order rather than a formal competitive procurement. Key Caltrans personnel responsible for oversight include Anthony Thurman as Project Manager and Lisa Machado as Senior Environmental Planner, with Jason Ammerman serving as the primary point of contact for environmental compliance documentation. The Notice of Exemption has been filed with the California Office of Planning and Research and is supported by certified exemption documentation. There are no specified evaluation factors, contract clauses, packaging or labeling requirements, performance incentives, bonding, insurance, or labor standards detailed in the records, reflecting a streamlined, low-dollar repair action focused on environmental compliance and technical execution under standard Caltrans maintenance protocols.
