SAC-51 American River Bridge Deck Replacement

The California Department of Transportation is undertaking the American River Bridge Deck Replacement Project pursuant to Amendment 2 to the Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification Number SAC-21522-R2, issued under Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code. This amendment authorizes an expansion of the staging and access area by one acre within the riparian habitat on the northern side of the American River, resulting in additional permanent and temporary environmental impacts that necessitate revised project documentation, updated impact assessments, and enhanced compensatory mitigation measures. The project is located along State Route 51 in Sacramento County, specifically between post miles 2.6 and 3.2 near the Lower American River, with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife serving as the lead regulatory agency responsible for environmental compliance and oversight. All project-related updates, including changes to the project description and mitigation strategies, are formally documented and integrated into the approved amendment to ensure alignment with state environmental regulations. Contract administration and communication are managed by Caltrans District 3 based in Marysville/Sacramento, with primary point of contact Sandeep Sandhu responsible for logistical and coordination matters, and Mary Xiong of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife serving as the Senior Environmental Scientist overseeing compliance and regulatory conditions. While the project is identified under Forecast Notice SAC-51 with a posted date of January 13, 2026, and classified under NAICS code 237310 for highway infrastructure construction, the documentation reflects a regulatory permit framework rather than a traditional procurement contract, with no pricing, payment terms, delivery schedules, or procurement evaluation factors detailed. The scope is governed exclusively by California’s Fish and Game Code and CEQA regulations, with no reference to federal acquisition regulations, standard contract clauses, financial awards, or commercial specifications. Compliance, inspections, and acceptance are conducted by state agencies at the project site, with administrative records maintained at both Caltrans and CDFW offices, and no formal subcontracting or offeror certifications are involved in the process.
